Tajh Ariza, the No. 7 recruit in the Class of 2026 and son of 2009 NBA champion Trevor Ariza, has been turning eyes with his play on the court. The Westchester Senior High School player led his team to a dominant 86-32 win against the Hamilton Yankees with a double-double performance.

The 6-foot-7 small forward scored 32 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in a game where the opposition had no answer for his skills. In a video uploaded on Instagram by @ballislife, Ariza showcased his versatility, converting alley-oops and draining three-pointers. Despite the significant lead, Ariza still performed a windmill dunk, impressing everyone.

Hoops fans flooded the comments section in awe of his performance, with some comparing the Playa del Rey, California, native to his father.
