Under the radar

Allan Aguilar: 5'10'' PG from San Diego, California. 24 year old player who was MVP of his high school team and competed in a city which has a storied history of very good high school talent. Is finishing his education at Platt College in graphic design and is ready to make the jump to professional basketball. Has a very high basketball IQ who displays a calm demeanor under game situations and can make both the simple play and the spectacular look very easy. Very fluid in his game. He will be entering the PBL draft this September. Can shoot off the dribble, finish and dunk in transition or off a broken play, and can shoot reliably from the perimeter. Most of all, he is unselfish and looks to pass first. Extremely coachable player who works hard. He makes his teammates better.

Ryan Raypon: 5' 11'' G from Fresno, California. He is a 19 year old sophomore at University of California, San Diego. Spent time last year as part of the coaching and training staff for the Men's Basketball Program and will now be walking on with the team. Strong and athletic build who can finish plays in traffic with body contact. Was the starting SG for nationally ranked (USA Today Super 25 High School Basketball Poll) San Joaquin Memorial High School for the 2005-2006 season that played in the CIF Division IV Southern Section Finals (State Final Four), and played alongside 7'0'' Brook and Robin Lopez (starting frontcourt for Stanford University) and Quincy Pondexter (starting SF for University of Washington). Ryan is capable perimeter shooter and can run the break as the PG or finish in the lane on transition. He can make plays off the dribble in the full court or in a half court offense and always has his eyes up. He is an excellent onball defender and plays the gaps well in a team defensive setting.
