TEAM PREVIEW:
The target is on Chino Hills' back and all eyes are on the Huskies because this is likely the team with the most to prove in the preseason top 10. After losing its unquestioned leader Lonzo Ball, who averaged a triple-double a year ago, and head coach Steve Baik, there's no doubt this offensive juggernaut will have a new style, tempo, and flare. Chino Hills will rely heavily on the elite sophomore tandem of Onyeka Okongwu and LaMelo Ball, who has grown five inches since last season. Add in leading scorer LiAngelo Ball, powerful workhorse Elizja Scott on the wing, the outlook is promising with four of five returning starters. The key will be if Ball can fill the shoes of his graduated brother.
