Alijah Arenas is already a five-star prospect in the class of 2026, and he continues to show why he just may be as good as his dad, Gilbert Arenas.
Archived Los Angeles Times records show the elder Arenas was considered the top prospect in the LA area around 1998 as he entered his senior high school season. His high-school best of 50 points cemented his status as an elite prospect, and he went on to be an All-Pac-10 player at the University of Arizona, leading the Wildcats to a championship appearance before rising to NBA stardom.
