First Annual HAX Super 25 Fall League

Top 2010 Prospects Photo by Dave Keefer Steven Adams Jeremy Tyler (San Diego) 6-11 - Big time player who is tops in the country in his class. Sky is the limit for this Louisville commit. Dwayne Polee (Westchester) 6-8 - One of the best athletes in the country has really expanded on his perimeter game as well. Top 20 national player has already committed to USC. Keala King (Dominguez) 6-4 - Crafty left-handed guard who is a legitimate national sleeper in the national class of 2010. Can score any way you want by the long ball or on the drive and finish. High major player. Steven Adams (Pasadena) 6-8 - Big body post who has super soft hands and a great touch around the basket. One of the best post players on the West Coast. Deonta Burton (Compton Centennial) 6-2 - Super athletic point guard who can shoot the jumper or get the rim and throw it down. Can play either guard position. Derek Brown (Chino Hills) 6-2 - Probably the best pure point guard in the state of California in the class of 2010. Left handed lead guard who can really run a team. Big time ballhandler and passer. Can also score if needed. Photo by Dave Keefer Jordin Mayes Kareem Jamar (Westchester) 6-4 - One of the most underrated players in the state. Super solid all around perimeter player who can do it all. Best position may be the point with his size and ability to pass. Most people talk about his teammates at Westchester but this guy is big time too. Jordan Salley (Laverne Lutheran) 6-7 - Athletic forward who has really worked on his body and become a force to be reckoned with. Played great against all of the big time guys in the league. Energy player who can really finish. Zach Smith (San Diego) 6-11 - Big Country body who takes up a lot of space in the paint. Good hands and feet. Not an athlete but long arms and good intangibles give him upside. Bryce Jones (Taft) 6-5 - Was injured for the league but just coming back. Big time athlete who can do it all from shoot the 3 to get at the rim and finish with authority. Will be one of the major surprises nationally in the spring. Jordin Mayes (Westchester) 6-2 – Solid combo guard who has really moved up the rankings after a good spring and summer. Does a little bit of everything.
