Article 345: Showcase: Final Day

April 29, 2013

The 2nd Nor Cal Spring Showcase ended Sunday afternoon at City College of San Francisco. Over 50 college coaches from all division levels including the Pac-12 and WCC conferences. Here are the best players from the concluding session.

Terrence White 6-foot-1 PG Inderkum (Team Sage Truth) 2014: The basketball and football double threat plays basketball like a football player in that he goes fast and aggressive. The point guard dribbles fine with either hand and attacks the basket. White rebounds physically and gets close on his perimeter defense. The defensive back and wide receiver has been getting football interest from Missouri, San Diego State, and San Jose State. Basketball has been slower but he states that St. Mary's has been in contact.

Jordan Ford 6-foot-0 PG Folsom (PHPS Renegades) 2016: Only a freshman, Ford is thin but has time to bulk up. He is agile and handles pressure well. In a three minute stretch, he showed his scoring versatility with a midrange jumper, three point jumper, and a drive to the basket.

Vasilije Saraba 6-foot-4 W Del Campo (YBA Black) 2014: Saraba does a little of everything. He has a slow release but was accurate in his perimeter form. He made good passes and has enough size to help with rebounding. He is versatile enough to play inside or outside.

Leandro Amador 6-foot-7 PF Modesto Christian (Lakeshow Black 17) 2014: Amador is a high energy player who runs the floor well. He gets after rebounds and is aggressive in his play. He displayed some nice post moves as well.

Keith Hunter 6-foot-2 SG Oakland (Bay Area Warriors 17U) 2014: Hunter has good strength and athleticism for his position. His offense is both perimeter shots and drives to the basket. He also plays solid perimeter defense.

AJ John 6-foot-7 SF Maria Carrillo (Oakland Soldiers 17 Blue) 2014: John has a good perimeter shot. He has good size and the physical to be a college level forward. He needs to throw his size around more. Colgate and Sacramento State have expressed interest.

Mahki Williams 6-foot-3 PG Natomas (Play Hard Play Smart White) 2017: The eighth grader is expecting to go to Natomas. Williams has good size for a freshman to be. For his age, he displayed good dribbling and passing already.

Ben Kone 6-foot-7 PF Salesian (Oakland Soldiers 16U Elite) 2016: The freshman is expected to start at Salesian next year. Kone has both a face up and back to basket game. He has a soft touch on the outside but can finish in the paint as well. His size is used effectively for rebounding but he runs the floor well.

Jamaryion Simmons 6-foot-4 SF Independent Study (Team Sage Truth) 2014: Simmons has bulk but needs to trim down. He is an aggressive rebounder and has a nice perimeter touch. He showed flashes of talent but will need to develop his body and perimeter game.

Jared Nodar 6-foot-5 W St Mary's Berkeley (Bay Area Warriors 17U) 2014: The junior is versatile as he can guard both inside and outside. He makes good decisions and can shoot from the perimeter.

Gabe Bealer 6-foot-5 W Antelope (Play Hard Play Smart Elite) 2013: The senior has versatile skills as he looked comfortable inside and outside. Bealer handles the ball well and had a nice turnaround jump shot.

Devin Asiasi 6-foot-4 PF De La Salle (Oakland Soldiers 15U Elite) 2016: The freshman was on varsity at De La Salle where he also played football. Asiasi has a big frame to play the post to rebound and guard opposing bigs. He has a respectable midrange shot.

Seth Snoddy 6-foot-7 PF Lincoln (SF Rebels 17U) 2014: The junior ran the floor well, rebounds physically, and attacked on his block shots. Snoddy seems to be a defensive spark plug and could be a college level power forward with some additional height. His offensive game has room for growth though.

Jordan Roberson 6-foot-4 SG Folsom (PHPS Renegades) 2015: Roberson has a good wingspan but needs to bulk up. When left open on the perimeter, he has an accurate shot. He stepped into a couple nice long range arching three point makes.

Jalen Mcferren 5-foot-10 PG Castro Valley (Oakland Rebels 17) 2014: The senior point guard is quick and can push the ball up court. He has a good change of pace to setup his passes. He hit a few perimeter shots to mix his game up.

Jamir Andrews 6-foot-2 SG Dublin (Nevada CC Wolverines Elite 17U Black) 2013: Andrews plays in attack mode on offense. He likes his pull up three point shot which was consistent. He has a nice turnaround jump shot and has the bulk to create space on his dribble drives. He is undersized as a shooting guard but can score in bunches.

Damari Milstead 5-foot-11 PG Moreau Catholic (Oakland Soldiers 15U Elite) 2017: The eighth grader will be at Moreau Catholic next season. He has good length and reach to disrupt passing lanes. He plays heady and plays more mature than his age.

Adilio Da Silveira 6-foot-7 F Del Oro (YBA Black) 2014: This junior has a sturdy body to battle for rebounds. Da Silveira looked comfortable with his dribble drive game and perimeter shot. If he refines his perimeter skills and lateral movement, he can be a college wing player.

Jose Flores 6-foot-3 SG St. Patrick St. Vincent (Play Hard Play Smart Elite) 2014: Flores has a good frame and quickness to play the shooting guard role. He is comfortable taking the ball to the basket. He is not afraid of contact to go after rebounds but has the lateral movement to guard the outside.

Connor Peterson 6-foot-2 PG Mitty (Oakland Soldiers 17 Blue) 2014: The Mitty guard plays with a high motor as he pushes the ball up and is not afraid to attack. His dribble drive creates passing opportunities. Pacific, Portland, Sacramento State, San Francisco, UC Santa Barbara, and Weber State have interest.

Jiday Ugbaja 6-foot-0 PG Riordan (Bay Area Warriors 17U) 2014: The junior plays in high gear as he pushes the ball and attacks on both ends. His quickness and bulk are good for a point guard. Navy and Pacific have interest.

Nikil Peters 6-foot-3 W De La Salle (Oakland Soldiers 16U Elite) 2016: The De La Salle product goes to the basket hard. He has a sturdy but agile body for his position that allows him to be a versatile defender.

Casey Raquemore 5-foot-10 PG Berkeley (Oakland Soldiers 15U Elite) 2016: The freshman has good point guard skills with his quickness, dribbling, and passing. He moves his feet well on the perimeter defense.
