2016 Fullcourt Press Spring League: Report II
(March 16, 2016)

The 2016 Fullcourt Press Spring League continued play this past Sunday (March 13^th) at Artesia High School (Lakewood CA).  Our first report published on March 1st featured several opening day standouts. This report will highlight several more as well as others who continue to play at a high level since then.
 

Isaiah White     6’6”     2016   Damien (La Verne CA)
Very underrated hybrid-forward is very athletic in transition and a more than capable half-court scorer.  White averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds for a 25-6 squad that finished second in their league to #1 Chino Hills and lost in the CIF-SS Open Playoffs in OT to Bishop Montgomery on a buzzer-winning 3-point shot by 2018 standout David Singleton. White is considering spending a post-grad year at a prep school next season.

Sebastian Much     6’7”     2017   JSerra (San Juan Capistrano CA)
Much continues to play well in the league and is shaping up to be a priority WCC & Big West recruit this summer.

Bryce Hamilton     6’2”     2018   Pasadena (Pasadena CA)
Slithering lefty scorer is quick to the cup and can score in a variety of ways.  Has tools to be a lock-down defender too.  Love his upside!

Makani Whiteside     6’2”     2019   St. John Bosco (Bellflower CA)
Young scoring guard has really improved strength and made great strides in his freshman year.  Excellent student too (3.5 GPA).

Jacob Hughes     6’11”  2017   Eldorado (Valencia CA)
Hughes continues to impress here at the league – running the floor very well for a guy 6-11 with ability to face-up and score from the perimeter as well.

JoJo Bush     6’6”     2018   St. John Bosco (Bellflower CA)
Stong and physical PF is a rugged rebounder.

Lunden Taylor     6’1”     2018   San Joaquin Memorial (Fresno CA)
Talented lead guard is solid ball-handler with deep perimeter range.  Central Valley 2018 sleeper will play for Team Lilliard (formerly Oakland Rebels) this spring and summer.

Mason Dickerson     6’3”     2016   Millikan (Long Beach CA)
Smooth off-guard has an accurate 3-point stroke and is a deceptive athlete. Cal Poly Pomona-bound next year.

Caleb Christopher     6’0”     2018   Mayfair (Lakewood CA
Quick PG is explosive off dribble and can handle defensive pressure well. Older brother Patrick Christopher is a former Cal star and NBA player.
