Jake Kyman<\/strong> (Santa Margarita, Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.).<\/p>\nBoth Mobley and Jones scored 11 points in the Top 30 game, and the latter was one of the most explosive players in attendance. Jones' offensive repitriore is evolving, as he displayed an improved shooting stroke. He has a tendency to throw up wild shots once in a while, but considering his football background (he's a D1 wide receiver prospect) and experience (or lack thereof), Jones' upside is as big as any camper in attendance. Mobley's older brother Isaiah, a 6-foot-8 2019 forward from Rancho Christian, was one of the top performer's at last year's Pangos All-West Frosh\/Soph camp, but this year little brother stole some of his thunder with his oozing potential and shot-blocking ability. The younger Mobley is agile and has excellent instincts and let the game come to him over the weekend and it paid off in the end.<\/p>\n
Dion Stroud<\/strong>, an explosive 6-foot-6 2019 wing out of San Joaquin Memorial (Fresno, Calif.), had 12 points for the white team while Sedrick Hammonds<\/strong> chipped in 10 points. Hammonds, a 6-foot-2 wing out of Clark (Las Vegas, Nev.), was one of the best pure athletes in attendance with great defensive instincts and the ability to get by defenders on the wing. Hammonds definitely proved he belonged in the top game and is one to track on the West Coast this upcoming high school basketball season.<\/p>\nIn a camp with 180 players, there were bound to be sleepers and this year was no exception. Some who stood out and created a national reputation for themselves were 6-foot 2019 point guard Jaxen Turner<\/strong> (Rancho Verde, Moreno Valley, Calif.), 6-foot-7 2019 forward Finnley O'Rourke<\/strong> (Brentwood, Los Angeles), 6-foot-3 2019 shooting guard Max Cheylov<\/strong> (Faith Baptist, Canoga Park, Calif.), 6-foot-4 guard Jace Roquemore<\/strong> (Foothill, Henderson, Nev.) and 6-foot-7 power forward Kirkland Smith<\/strong> of Fairfax (Los Angeles).<\/p>\nSmith was especially impressive with his motor and offensive rebounding ability. He played hard every possession and scored when he had openings around the basket without forcing too much. Smith's ability and production will be a welcomed bonus to a Fairfax team that is perimeter-oriented and hopes to win the L.A. City Section Open Division title next March. The perimeter players include junior point guard Jamal Hartwell<\/strong> (who was in attendance supporting three of his Lions' teammates) and a pair of sophomore guards in 5-foot-11 Ethan Anderson<\/strong> and 6-foot-4 Bobby McRae III<\/strong>. The latter is more of a wing at this time, but is cut out to be a college shooting guard. McRae is not as highly-regarded in terms of state and national reputation as Anderson, but he actually was just as productive and did more to help himself this weekend than his backcourt mate.<\/p>\nMcRae's activity level led to numerous positive plays and he made the correct reads with the ball in his hands. Anderson was one of the top overall guards in attendance and did nothing to hurt his reputation as one of California's top prospects in the Class of 2019. Anderson simply overpowers or blows by guards who attempt to jump in his way, although he could finish better attacking left and being less reliant on spinning back to his strong side.<\/p>\n
The most competitive and skilled player in the Cream of the Crop Top 60 Game was 6-foot guard Josh Christopher<\/strong> from Mayfair (Lakewood, Calif.). He led all scorers with 19 points. His older brothers are Caleb, a junior-to-be at Mayfair, and Patrick, who also played at the school before moving on to Dominguez (Compton, Calif.), CAL and the NBA.<\/p>\nRonnie Flores is the national Grassroots editor of Ballislife.com.
