Congratulations are in order for the son of Gilbert Arenas, Alijah. The 6-foot-6 Five Star Shooting Guard will be a Trojan in the fall as he has promised to USC.
The Senior Chatsworth High School announced his intention on Gil’s Arena, who is his father’s podcast.
“For me (USC) felt like the best fit,” said Arenas on the podcast.
The soon 18-year-old continued: “For everyone who supported me on this trip, I just helped me see my path. Then it went on campus and saw how USC was, it made me special. I spoke with the coach and saw what I could be, it was great for me. I think I could really play for USC. “

247Sports director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein says that USC and Eric Musselman are getting a great initial talent in Arenas.
“Arenas is a versatile score threat. He does not always separate with his first move, but he is elite with his secondary movements and has a wide range of counters in his bag. He also shoots an easy ball from a long distance with soft, natural touch, despite his left shoulder and turned into his release, ”Finkelstein wrote in his reconnaissance report of the young talent.
“Defensively, his size, length, hands and court coverage are all assets, but his lateral speed and the ability to put the ball under pressure have fluctuated over the years while his body has evolved. The bottom line is that Arenas is a striking talent in the midst of a late growth spurt and has a considerable potential in the long term. “
Arenas follows in the footsteps of the son of LeBron James, Bonny, who also played for the Trojan horses before he was prepared by the NBA.
The younger rising star is undoubtedly looking for professional playing, following his father’s path on the NBA Limelight. We can’t wait to look at his journey. We do not doubt that he will make his dream reality.
