(Full Disclosure: it’s my event. No, seriously, it is)
It was great to be able to host the daylong event, and see so many of the region’s top players competing. There were a number of standouts on the day. In our next of several reports, we go over more of the top players on hand, including a prevailing them you’ll see throughout the report: Saint Augustine is well represented.
3P Creme of the County: Event Standouts, Part 2
Jesse Snider, 6-5 2022 G, Rancho Buena Vista
Snider had the breakout performance of the day, scoring from all three levels in his first game to earn a berth in the Creme de la Creme Game. Snider’s size, crafty ball handling, passing and shooting ability make him an intriguing late-bloomer in the class. His ability to defend D1 guards and wings is still an issue, but his offensive talent is undeniable.
Gavin Guinn, 6-1 2025 G, St. Augustine
Guinn put on a show in the 2025 Creme Game, scoring attacking the basket and in the midrange with a series of midrange pull-ups and turnaround shots. His skill and footwork when he comes to a jump stop is impeccable. He also had a pair of near dunks (including a narrowly missed tip jam) that showed flashes of his athletic ability.
Angelo Gil Angelo Gil 6'1" | PG Mission Bay | 2023 State CA-S , 6-1 2023 G, Mission Bay
Gil, the ever steady and tough Buccaneers point guard, showcased his assertive slashing, underrated court vision and dogged defense in two very good performances in the 2023 Creme game and the Creme de la Creme game. His moxie and intangibles (leadership and communication, even in a showcase setting) are quite impressive as well.
Lolo Rudolph, 6-0 2024 G, St. Augustine
Rudolph got off to a hot start in the 2024 Creme Game, scoring off the dribble and over – and through – some formidable rim protection, and also stepped out and hit a deep three, an area of his game that is rapidly improving. Rudolph’s burst with the ball makes him one of the toughest guys to keep out of the paint, and he has the ability to score and create once there.
Daniel Ameyaw, 6-8 2022 F, Balboa School
Rebounding gets overlooked in showcases, but Ameyaw’s ability to carve out space and explode to the boards, both in the paint and out of his area, is very impressive. He also had a couple of strong takes to the basket (short baseline drives) that he finished above the rim. Undersized (measured at 6-7), he has the length, athleticism and motor to contribute at some level as a small-ball five.
