After having just done this series of posts for football, we’ll now do the same for boys basketball. Based on how these players did after high school, here is a look at the first three of these teams as we wait for high school sports to hopefully begin in the state. For this group of teams, we have the best-ever for Orange County, the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section and CIF Central Section.
This is a post for Gold Club members only on CalHiSports.com. All of our annual preseason all-section, all-county and all-region, all-state football teams are being delayed in getting done until we know more about when the season will be starting. All of those posts will be for Gold Club members only as well. You can now join for one-month rate of just $3.99. For subscription info, CLICK HERE.
Note: For these teams below, we have a first five and second five for each and then others who were considered in the notes. We were definitely looking for at least one player among the five who could be a guard, one who could be a forward and one who could be listed as a center. The boys basketball version of this series is actually going to be done in four parts instead of three because in basketball the gigantic numbers of players from Los Angeles County are going to require a separate post of its own.
