In this story:

When taking a look at some of the most dominant high school programs of all time in the state of California, you have Chino Hills when they were led by Lonzo Ball and his two younger brothers, Sierra Canyon who has been home to a historic amount of NBA talent and in the more recent years, Corona Centennial has stamped their names in the history books with a three-peat in the Southern Section open division championship.

And they were led by a number of rising stars in Jared McCain, Kylan Boswell and Devin Williams. Williams committed to UCLA during his senior year with Centennial and he grew into one of the best defensive forwards in his graduating class. 247 Sports had him ranked as the number 77 best prospect and the Bruins have a lot to look forward to once he gets rolling.

Williams is just under seven feet and weighs in at 205 pounds and even though he is on the skinnier side, he holds his own on both ends. He made huge plays during every postseason stretch during his high school career and Centennial definitely would not have won those rings without him.

"Devin Williams is a lengthy and athletic post player. He moves in a way not many his size can. At 6-10, he is a fluid athlete who moves very well laterally. He is a good vertical athlete as well. Williams needs added strength. He has touch that extends beyond the three point line. Will need to continue working on his balance and footwork, figuring out how he scores best in the half court, with continued reps he should continue to develop. He is a natural rim protector and he can move his feet well on defense. There are a lot of natural tools that give him a high upside."

UCLA will be one of the best squads to keep an eye on this season!
