Player Ratings
Long Beach JUCO Jamboree
All rankings are based on the players and teams I saw play at the 2004 Showcase. There were 32 teams involved. I managed to see 25 of them (in a total of 20 games), including 7 of them twice.
Since there were always 3 games going on at the same time, I had to make some tough choices and I hope you'll understand if I didn't get to see your team, or get to see them more than once.
Three of the teams I missed here - Kingsley Glass, Hemet and Whittier - were covered in June at the Long Beach JUCO Jamboree.
And of course, all these opinions are my own and have some degree of subjectivity. I've roughly followed the stats and results, but I recognize there's plenty of room for disagreement. But this is what I think...
Top Teams:
Since these three teams beat each other in a round-robin situation, we have Co-Champions!!!
t-1. Cobblestone (Southern Idaho) - PG Davis heads stunning array of size and athleticism.
t-1. The Buzz (Fullerton) - Excellent wings Williams and Sheldon complemented by standout Ctr Earl.
t-1. Sehorn's (Yuba) - Front line of Ctr Andrews and PF Thornton really stood out.
4. Inland Empire (San Bernardino Valley) - 6-10, 300-lb Jabbar Young is the centerpiece; LACC transfer Johnson, PG S. Funn head stellar supporting cast.
5. V-Town (Ventura) - Nunez was dominant, while Gonzalez was his usual excellent self.
6. N-Flight (Pasadena) - Pickens stood out at PG, SF Marcus and huge Ctr Clark are fearsome.
7. The Beach (Long Beach) - A deep, athletic team; PG Barnes is defensive whiz.
8. Team 605 (Cerritos) - Excellent backcourt of PG Hill, SG Reid; Ctr Gill got a lot of attention from recruiters.
9. Glendora (Citrus) - Ctr Kelley really developing; strong, deep backcourt.
10. Speed City (San Jose)- SG King was excellent; front line of Harris & Smith is scary.
11. South County (Saddleback) - Stud Ricks returns; RCC transfer Smedley will run the point.
12. Alary Corp. (American River) - Reloading after last year's run to the finals
13. Fremont (Ohlone) - Backcourt tandem of Bernaro and Cooper took over the game.
14. Grapevine (Bakersfield) - Inside-out combo of SG Monk and Ctr Malave one of WSC's best.
