On Wednesday evening, the final NCAA certified evaluation period of the summer tipped off in Las Vegas. Some of the higher profiled Northern California clubs were in action including the Oakland Rebels, Oakland Soldiers, and Play Hard Play Smart.
Here are some players of note on Day 1:
Sayeed Pridgett 6-foot-5 SG Oakland Rebels 17 Red (El Cerrito) 2016: Pridgett is a versatile scorer as he attacked the basket and connected from 3-point range a few times. He has a wiry frame but does not back down. Several mid majors seem interested but one mid major coach had questions regarding Pridgett's academic status.
Kevin Warren 6-foot-3 SG Oakland Rebels 17 Red (St Mary's Berkeley) 2016: Warren is a flashy scorer as he can score both inside and outside. His frame is thin which can raise durability questions on the next level. But Warren is athletic and has developed skills.
Carlos Johnson 6-foot-5 Oakland Soldiers 17 Elite (El Cerrito) 2016: Johnson had a strong all around performance against a club from his former home state of Arizona. The senior prospect plays intense and hard all the time. Johnson had several attacking drives to the baskets and strong moves in the paint. He hit two 3-point shots in the first half to round out his game.
Robinson Idehen 6-foot-9 Oakland Soldiers 17 Elite (Modesto Christian) 2016: Idehen's calling card is his athletic defense. He runs the floor well and can help on weak side defense with his length and shot blocking. The few offensive opportunities were in the paint on offensive rebounds or close range passes but he had trouble converting the high percentage attempts. Idehen, however, did show a nice lefty free throw touch.
Jordan Brown 6-foot-10 PF Play Hard Play Smart (Woodcreek) 2018: Brown is already skilled around the basket with versatile scoring moves. Despite being a sophomore playing up, he took initiative in his rebounding and defense against opposing teams. He has thin limbs but still has three years to bulk up to be college level in size.
Phillip Fayne 6-foot-8 PF Play Hard Play Smart (Franklin) 2016: Fayne made several athletic offensive moves and rebounds in the paint. He has a good wingspan for defense and has enough lateral movement to defend smaller, quicker guards. Per his club coach, a few mid majors are interested with one wanting him to walk on as a freshman.
Notes
Day 2 gets into full swing as Fab 48 begins as well. All three major events will have games that run from 8am till 10pm.
