Top 5 California girls basketball players in Class of 2023

5. Ari Long, PG, Valley View

Look no further than last season’s Ramona Winter Classic championship game for evidence of Long as one of the state’s and country’s best. The 6-foot point guard dropped a career-high 50 points to go along with 14 rebounds and seven assists in an 82-71 win. It was one of many impressive performances for Long who averaged 31.5 points, 15.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists as a junior. The No. 46-ranked recruit in the Class of 2023, according to ESPN, is headed to play basketball at Washington.

Ari Long went crazy last night 34 pts, 20 reb, 11ast, 5 stl, & 2 blk. 😳😳🔥
