The City Championship Tournament at City College of San Francisco finished bracket play for both the champions and consolation brackets on Sunday. The Oakland Kings survived a game-ending shot by Lakeshow to win 50-49 in the champions bracket. In the consolation bracket, the Bay Area Warriors 17U squad prevailed 67-64 over the Modesto Pirates.
Noah Wellington 6-foot-3 SG Elk Grove (2013) Oakland Kings 17s: Wellington has good length for a guard and lateral movement. He displayed a respectable perimeter shot through the weekend but can be more aggressive with his overall offensive game. His Elk Grove squad finished second in the Delta Valley Conference, but he will be a key piece in battling Franklin and Laguna Creek through the season.
Andre Russell 6-foot-5 F San Leandro (2012) Oakland Kings 17s: Russell was aggressive and versatile in the two days. The senior is undersized to play the post and still needs work on his perimeter game in order to play at a four year college. But Russell did not hesitate in going after rebounds, had several key offensive put backs in the paint, and ran the court well.
Justin Patton 6-foot-3 Wing Sierra (2013) Modesto Pirates: Patton is physical and fairly athletic. He plays the post for both his undersized club and high school team. His development in his perimeter game will determine his recruiting stock.
Joshua Patton 6-foot-5 F Sierra (2015) Modesto Pirates: The younger brother is projected to make the Sierra varsity team that went 27-4 this past season. Patton is leaner but taller than his older brother and has room to grow. He is still very raw but has the potential both physically and skill wise.
EJ Floreal 6-foot-4 Wing Palo Alto (2013) Lakeshow 17s Black: Floreal has bulked up and can take on more physical contact. The development of his perimeter game could improve his recruiting stock. The track star apparently has received a basketball offer from CSU Bakersfield recently.
Graham Gilleran 6-foot-7 Post Archbishop Riordan (2013) OC Elite: Gilleran has a big frame but has good agility for his size. He has good vision in his passing for a big man but still is physically a tweener. Nebraska Omaha, Oberlin, and Yale have been in contact.
Joey Frenchwood 6-foot-0 PG Newark Memorial (2014) Oakland Rebels 16U: Frenchwood hit a couple of clutch perimeter shots. He is a sturdy point guard who runs a solid system at Newark Memorial. A more consistent perimeter game and increase in scoring should improve his recruiting stock.
Nate Cohen 6-foot-3 SG Urban School (2013) OC Elite: Cohen has a good spot up perimeter shot and has good size for a guard. His lateral movement and perimeter defense will determine his recruiting.
Ahmad Smith 6-foot-1 PG Bella Vista (2013) Nor Cal Warriors Black 17U: Smith is a very good scoring point guard who has the ability to create his own shot. He plays with a motor on both ends and possesses an accurate floater in the paint.
Josh Sykes 6-foot-6 F Golden Valley (2014) Modesto Slam N Jam: Sykes is intriguing as he is athletic, runs well, and has some pliable skills. His offense is raw but his length and defense are not liabilities. He is a prospect that might be hidden in the Central Valley.
Anthony Williams 6-foot-1 SG Foothill (2013) Nor Cal Warriors Black 17U: Williams is a very explosive scorer, has good athletic ability, and has a solid pull up three. He is a solid and versatile perimeter defender.
Jonathan Boddie 6-foot-6 F Central Catholic (2014) Oakland Rebels 16U: Boddie is active and aggressive despite having a lean frame. He runs the floor well and is agile in his movement. He teams with post prospect John Fenton in high school.
Guillermo Nunez 6-foot-2 SG Sierra (2013) Bay Area Hoosiers 17s: Nunez displayed a consistent outside shot as he hit several key open looks. He moved well without the ball and was able to find his shot. He is a bit undersized and will need to complete his overall game for the next level.
Jeremy Dennis 6-foot-4 Wing St Mary's Berkeley (2013) Bay Area Warriors 17s: St Mary's had a down year but Dennis has good length and versatility. He will have to be a perimeter player at the next level but does not back down in the paint. But he has respectable dribbling, has perimeter range, and has some explosiveness above the rim.
Dalvin Guy 6-foot-7 PF Mcclymonds (2013) DBC: Guy runs well and is athletic for a forward. He may need to be a bit taller to be a power forward in college as his perimeter skills and ball handling are lacking for a wing. But he is explosive as he had a few dunks and has a big body for the post play.
Dylan Alexander 6-foot-3 SG Weston Ranch (2013) Bay Area Hoosiers 17s: The Weston Ranch product has been in contact with various schools in the Big West and WCC conferences. Alexander plays a deliberate and methodical game as he lets the game come to him. He has a quick release and good form for his perimeter shot.
Gregory Polosky 6-foot-8 Post San Ramon Valley (2015) Lakeshow Black 15s: Polosky is long and moves well for his height. He will need to add bulk but has a college potential body and frame. He will need to improve his mid-range game.
Jonathan Galloway 6-foot-8 Post Liberty (2014) Oakland Soldiers 16s: Galloway is has good length and shows some rebounding aggression. He should average a double double easily in the rest of his high school career. Galloway could fill out more of his size and improve his post skill development to increase his stock.
Nate Ambrosini 6-foot-4 Wing Fortuna (2014) Nor Cal Warriors 16U: Ambrosini is a versatile scorer who has good ball handling skills. He is a good passer, can take the ball into the paint, and can pull up for his own shot.
Grant Smith 6-foot-1 SG Foothill (2014) Nor Cal Warriors 16U: Smith has a consistent three point shot. He plays tough and physical.
Gabriel Vincent 6-foot-2 SG St Mary's Stockton (2014) Oakland Soldiers 16s: Vincent has good form in his perimeter shot and is of a sturdy build. He should be the leading perimeter scorer for his high school.
Meshawn Beard 5-foot-10 PG Oakland (2014) Oakland Rebels 17U: Beard is a very relentless point guard in that he puts pressure on defense in both full court transition and half court sets. He is a bit undersized but is stocky and aggressive. If he is eligible, he can be a big plus for his high school program.
Cole Mcconnell 6-foot-5 Wing Sacred Heart Prep (2012) Lakeshow 17s Black: The sharp-shooter will be attending New Hampton Prep. This is the same prep school that current UC Irvine players, Will Davis and Travis Souza, attended. Mcconnell's older brother, Reed, is also part of the UC Irvine roster.
*Weekend Note: Cal Assistant Coach Jay John and Stanford Coach Johnny Dawkins were in attendance to view their respective sons play. San Jose State Football Coach Mike Macintyre was also in attendance watching his son play.
