2028 6’5 Jaden Redding (Democracy Prep)
Redding was a clear standout from the beginning when watching him at the event. He checked a lot of factors in his game, whether it was his size at 6’5, his offensive presence, or his overall impact on both sides of the court. Offensively, he uses his frame and athleticism well to his advantage, scoring when attacking downhill, embracing contact and being overall physical on the court. But he also impressed with his ability to knock down shots as well. Redding brought tremendous energy and played with a motor, bringing that on both sides of the court for his team.
2029 6’0 Quali Giran (Millikan)
Giran is a name I believe you will be hearing more about in the coming years, as he offered a lot as a young guard. When watching him at the camp, he was able to make his presence felt both offensively and defensively. Offensively, he is a quick and shifty guard who was able to flourish with his ability to attack downhill and get to the rim. He displayed tremendous body control and bounce, doing a great job in breaking down and staying aggressive. However, he still is able to hurt you from the perimeter, hitting shots from behind the arc as well. Giran is one who plays with tremendous poise and control, is a true playmaker on the court, and he should only continue to develop.
2028 6’4 Kainoa Patton (Corona Centennial HS)
I really liked what I saw from Patton overall on the court at the camp, as he was consistently finding ways to attack and be a presence offensively. Standing at 6’4, he brings good size but was able to really flourish with his ability to attack downhill, embrace contact, get paint touches and find ways to get to the rim time after time. Though his shots didn’t always fall, Patton was able to continue to be aggressive out in the open court, breaking down and attacking the defense. Patton was at his best when he was down in transition, and I’m eager to see what he is able to show more this upcoming season.
2028 6’4 Isaiah Williamson (Los Alamitos)
A player that captured my eyes as he certainly looked the part as a prospect you will hear more about in the coming years. He plays with a strong overall feel, being physical, playing with pace, and is able to create with strong drives. Time after time, Williamson was able to attack the paint, embracing and fighting through contact, and showed smooth overall handles in being able to break down defenders and get to his spots. He has a natural overall feel to his game and was also able to knock down shots in catch-and-shoot situations confidently. Williamson looks the part and has the background to understand what it takes to reach the next level, with his brother, Isaac Williamson, being a UNLV G.
