The 6-7 do-everything guard is Arizona-bound and is projected as the No. 7 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. He averages 25 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. "In terms of greatest California prep players, I think of Jason Kidd and Stanley Johnson," — O'Dowd coach Lou Richie
Daniel Hamilton (St. John Bosco) — Surprising that the 6-7 forward, who averages 20.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, wasn't a McDonald's All-American choice. He's headed for Connecticut. He's the No. 13 senior recruit in the country according to 247Sports.
Steve Herve (Renaissance Academy-La Canada) — The 6-6, 230-pound post is one of the few players who can actually match up physically with St. Joseph's 6-7, 240-pound Temidayo Yussuf.
