All-State sophomore Jaden Phillips (left) looks to score for Foothill of Bakersfield against Mt. Shasta in CIF Division V state final. Phillips averaged nearly 17 ppg for the Trojans. At right is Gavin Wilburn from Weston Ranch (Stockton), a junior who has a versatile game that has compared him as a high school version of the Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green.

Now that players of the year and coaches of the year are done, it’s time to get started with the first announced teams for the 41st annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Boys Basketball Teams. This is a look at the best of the best among juniors, sophomores and freshmen. It will be for Gold Club members only. The post for all-state teams according to CIF divisions will be a free post and will be finished in a few days. Schools that landed multiple players on the all-state underclass squads are led by Mater Dei of Santa Ana (two juniors, two sophomores). Others with at least two include Etiwanda, Modesto Christian, Windward of Los Angeles and Sheldon (Sacramento).
