Continue ReadingThe PH 2023 rankings have been updated and published. With the restrictions being lifted in NorCal many of the players were able to participate in the Spring and Summer live viewing periods in July. Here’s our 2nd list of new additions to the 2023 class rankings.
Joaquin Battle Joaquin Battle 5'9" | PG Folsom | 2023 State CA-N 5’9 PG of Folsom HS # 26
Battle is a steady performer who handles the ball well, and has the patience to run the teams offense. He sees the court well delivering good passes into the post, and spotting shooters on the perimeter from the penetration drive. He has a good mid-range shot that goes in.
Austin Dewes Austin Dewes 6'9" | C Alhambra | 2023 State CA-N 6’9 F/C of Alhambra HS #31
Dewes a bit on the thin side but long and has good fundamentals. His foot work in the post is okay, his length helps him score inside. He seems destined to work his way to the perimeter during stretches of games. He’s comfortable out there and will dribble and shoot 3’s with some success.
Teshawn Gamble Teshawn Gamble 5'11" | PG Oakland | 2023 State CA-N 5’10 PG of Oakland HS #33
Gamble has a good floor game. He doesn’t make a lot of mistakes, he’s a superb ball handler with the skills to run the teams set plays. He can get to into the paint, and score with his mid-range jumper. He’s an underrated defender using quick hands, and good movement to generate turnovers with applied pressure.
Matthew Schroeder Matthew Schroeder 6'2" | SG Whitney | 2023 State CA-N 6’2 CG of Whitney HS #37
Schroeder brings good intensity to the court, and confidence to shoot his shot. He’ll make more than he misses. He’ll work hard on the defensive end applying ball pressure and helping weakside. He can get hot, and hit 2 or 3 shots in a row from behind the 3pt line.
Austin Ito Austin Ito 6'1" | PG Woodcreek | 2023 State CA-N 6’1 PG of Woodcreek HS #39
Ito shows good patience and ball handling skills running the point. He’s aware of the spacing needed in half court sets. He’ll exploit openings to penetrate and kick it out to open shooters. He’ll show his scoring ability just when the defense thinks he’s only a passer. He has good shot selection, and will hit the three.
Amos Hodgson Amos Hodgson 6'2" | SG Bishop O'Dowd | 2023 State CA-N 6’2 SG of Bishop O’Dowd HS #40
It was our first look at Hodgson, all indications point to him being a productive scorer when he’s on the court. He’ll score in different ways, we observed him drop at least 30 in one game. He’s a contact player using his body on occasion to finish in the paint. He has good footspeed and balance, rarely is he out of control.
Theo Stoll Theo Stoll 5'8" | PG Acalanes | 2023 State CA-N 5’8 PG of Acalanes HS #41
Stoll is a good ball handling, pass first point guard who knows how to run a team. He makes sure his post players get touches at the right times, he’ll wait for shooters to ready on the perimeter. He can effectively execute the pick and roll with his big man. He has a good mid-range and floater.
Leon Mills Leon Mills 6'1" | CG Edison | 2023 State CA-N 6’1 CG of Edison HS #43
Mills showed himself to be a tough driver who can handle the contact, and finish plays attacking from the wings, and in transition. He can run the point if called to do so. His handles, and passing are a bit underrated right now. He has the footspeed to get by you.
