Another top prospect in Arizona's 2016 class has developed this club season and will now be consiered among the better prospects in Arizona's 2016 class. Basha High School's 6-foot-9 rising junior post Klay Stall has utilized the club season in the correct manner - developing as a player and gaining good playing time throughout the sumnmer.
In the spring, Stall played for the Arizona Power program, but decided to make a change for the summer - competing for the Compton Magic - Team Bayless. While playing for the lesser of the two teams for the program, Stall has gained a lot of experience and seen valuable playing time, which has helped him to develop into an emerging prospect in the class. He is now generating division-I interest for himself as a result.
After playing well recently in California while competing with his club program in two different Pangos events, Stall has received division-I interest from San Jose State, Eastern Washington and Hawaii-Hilo. Each schools is very interested in the growing post prospect.
Stall is very large in size and is still growing a great deal. While he is still raw offensively, he is developing consierably and should become a very nice post prospect over time with continued hard work and skill development. He currently has a good jump hood and solid low-post footwork, and is a solid finisher inside. He is an active rebounder for his size and a solid finisher inside. As a he continues to get phsyically stronger he should become a force.
Stall is a capable shotblocker and runs the floor well for his size as well. He should do very well next season in a state that lacks much true post talent. The combination of Stall and Devin Kirby next season should be tremendous for Basha head coach Matt Grothaus, as both players stand close to 6-10 in heigth, with Kirby as the state's premier 2016 prospect.
Look for Stall to continue to grow physically and develop into one of the top post prospects in the class. It will be very interesting to see just how much he continues to develop over the next year. He should develop nicely after competing with Kirby each day in practice, and beome one of the top prospects to watch next high school season.
Stall will travel to Las Vegas, Nevada this week to take part in the Fab 48 with his club program.
