The next big thing in basketball might be right under our noses.
Raise your hand if you watched a game last year in Napa at Prolific Prep High featuring 6-foot-7 Josh Jackson. Some hoop prognosticators call him the next Kobe Bryant and a likely Number 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. He is now a freshman at Kansas.
If you follow high school basketball in northern California, the household power names are Archbishop Mitty, Bishop O’Dowd, St. Joe's of Alameda, Jesuit, Monte Vista, De La Salle, St. Francis and Modesto Christian.
You probably never heard of Prolific Prep in Napa because it isn’t an actual brick and mortar school.
