Last weekend, Santiago Canyon College played host to the Finest City Showcase presented by We-Run and Hoopers4Dayz. The event was held from Oct. 15-16. I was able to attend both days and here's a look at some of the top standouts I saw. 1. Aaliyah Stanton - Rancho Christian 2023 Stanton is a good point guard. She may be small size-wise, but that doesn't affect her game at all. She's a good ball-handler who pushes the pace well. She plays the pick and roll well and can hit the roller. Good job finding cutters as well. She's comfortable creating for herself offensively and she can shoot off the dribble. Also able to attack the defense and finish at the basket. 2. [player_tooltip player_id='502218' first='Hannah' last='Fuentes'] - Orangewood Academy 2025 Fuentes is capable of playing both guard positions. She navigates screens well and can shoot consistently if the defender goes under the pick. She reads the defense well and adjusts accordingly, keeps the ball moving. She can get to the basket off the dribble and dish the ball off to the open teammate. Also able to finish at the rim. Good shooter from both midrange and from three-point range. 3. Jocelyn Pascual - Brentwood 2024 Pascual stood out as a good shooter from three-point range either off the catch or face up as well. She's a point guard but plays well with another ball-handler as she does with teammate Amber Furch. Pushes the ball in transition and keeps her head up. She's very quick with the ball in her hands. She can explode to the rim and she can go coast to coast and finish on the break. 4. Brooklyn Goedhart - Ontario Christian 2023 Goedhart is a bit slight, but long and she uses that length and her height well to attack the glass and grab rebounds. She does most of her damage off the ball, cutting along the baseline and being in position to catch the pass. She runs the floor very well in transition, filling in the lanes and being in position to get an easy bucket. Also able to make moves off the dribble at times.
