Bigfoot Hoops made a stop in Walnut Creek for its Bay Area Memorial
Weekend Classic. The event featured primarily teams from the west coast,
including the familiar Oakland Rebels and Oakland Soldiers but a young
PHPS Elite 15U team has a roster of up and coming prospects from the
Sacramento region. Here is a look at some of the Northern California
players.
Andrew Cox-Gilmore
6-foot-6 PF Pinole Valley (2013) Oakland Rebels 17U: Cox-Gilmore
doubles as a defensive end on the football team, which makes it no
surprise that he is such a powerful and relentless rebounder. He may be
undersized in height but his raw strength allows him to clear out the
paint and he has good shot blocking instincts. Reno and Sacramento State
have expressed some interest for basketball but he is getting more
serious looks on the football side that includes Pac-12 schools.
Ryan Diew
6-foot-2 SG Head Royce (2013) Oakland Rebels 17U: Diew is a solid
defender who moves his feet well and has long arms to disrupt passing
lanes. He is dependable perimeter shooter who also finishes well on the
break. Columbia and Cornell have sent some feelers, as his academics
are solid.
Trey Belton 6-foot-5 Wing Capital Christian (2015)
PHPS Elite 15U: At his age, Belton moves his feet well in the paint.
The left-hander has a consistent perimeter touch. He is a good
rebounder and rotates well on his help defense. He was a core part of
his high school team this past season.
Chris Haney 6-foot-2 PG
Sheldon (2013) Nor Cal Pharaohs: Haney is quick, big, and athletic for a
point guard. His size and lateral movement make him a good defender
while he makes good passes. He needs more playing time on a loaded
Sheldon team but has some contact from Boise State.
Cole Lockwood
6-foot-0 G Santa Clara (2014) Roadrunners 16: Lockwood is a versatile
scorer in both his perimeter shooting and going to the paint scoring.
He is aggressive in the paint on both ends. He needs to increase his
defensive intensity on the perimeter.
Jabbar Brown 6-foot-2 Wing
Vallejo (2015) PHPS Elite 15U: Tajai Johnson is headed south but Vallejo
has a good replacement in Brown. He is athletic and long which makes
him rather effective as a shot blocker against guards. He has a good
one on one game in addition to a nice pull up shot.
Jerron Love
5-foot-10 PG (2015) Oakland Soldiers 16U: Love is a new addition to the
Soldiers roster as he is just moved to Fresno and has not decided on his
high school. He is quick and adapt at breaking down his defender. He
has a good feel for the game and a high basketball IQ. His on ball
defense is solid as well.
Devin Greene 5-foot-9 PG Sheldon (2016)
PHPS Elite 15U: The middle school prospect is headed to Sheldon but
already displays a solid grasp of the point guard duties. He has good
handles, proper court vision, a pull up jumper, and can lock down his
perimeter opponent.
Tyler Hatton 6-foot-8 C Folsom (2013) Nor Cal
Pharaohs: Hatten has quick feet for a post player that allows him to
finish at the basket. He does not shy away from contact and, as a
result, goes to the free throw line frequently with a good shooting
touch from there.
Justice Shelton-Mosley 5-foot-10 G Capital
Christian (2015) PHPS Elite 15U: Shelton-Mosley has extreme speed, can
get to the paint with ease, and is adept at finishing. He plays tight
perimeter defense. He was one of two starting freshman at Capital
Christian last season.
Isaiah Thomas 6-foot-6 C KIPP (2015)
Oakland Rebels 15U: Thomas has good height and size for his age and
projects to be a post player. He is already advanced for his age in
terms of a nice touch, post moves, and drop step maneuver on offense.
With his length, he can alter shots on defense.
Demar Dunn
5-foot-10 PG Salesian (2015) Oakland Soldiers 15U: Dunn is the younger
brother of Mario. Similar to his brother, Dunn is a slasher and is
aggressive in his play. He can finish with either hand and is a solid
perimeter defender.
Jalen Carr-Harris 6-foot-3 F Berkeley (2015)
Oakland Rebels 15U: Carr-Harris has a sturdy frame to help on the
offensive boards but has the handles to drive to the basket. His size
and length also allows him to rotate on the defensive end. He
potentially could be a good replacement for Oregon State bound Langston
Morris-Walker.
Ryan White 6-foot-4 Wing The King's Academy (2014)
Roadrunners 16: White is an aggressive rebounder who has a nose for the
ball. He finishes well at the basket and has good ball handling skills
for his size.
Damien Mitchell 5-foot-11 PG Lighthouse Community
(2015) Oakland Rebels 15U: Mitchell has good quickness to break down
defenders to create offense opportunities. His lateral movement makes
his on ball defense strong.
Eric Duncan
6-foot-1 PG Mcnair (2013) PHPS 17 Black: Duncan is sturdy and quick for
a point guard. His lateral movement allows him to lock down on
defense. Boise State, Cal Poly SLO, Idaho State, Montana State, and
Southern Utah are in contact with him.
Moneer Mujaddidi 6-foot-2
PF Miramonte (2015) Oakland Soldiers 15U: Mujaddidi is deceptively quick
for his size as he can guard on the inside or the outside. He has a
good mid-range shot and is capable at finishing at the basket.
Cole
Nordquist 6-foot-3 SG Pleasant Grove (2013) PHPS 17 Black: Nordquist is
active on defense. He has an accurate shooter but needs to be more
aggressive in looking for his offense. He is often overshadowed on his
Pleasant Grove team but does have a feeler from Boise State.
Josh
Simms 6-foot-0 PG Oak Ridge (2013) Nor Cal Pharaohs: Simms is a
dependable ball handle who can break down pressure. Conversely, he can
lock down against the opposing guard. He has a respectable perimeter
shot as well.
Jamilah Brown 6-foot-2 SG Oakland (2014) Oakland
Soldiers 16U: The left hander has a consistent perimeter shot but is
also a versatile scorer who can create for teammates as well. He has
good length to be disruptive on defense but needs to assist more in the
help defense rotations.
