<p><strong>One Player To Watch: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="874140" first="Flynn" last="Carlson"]</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="874140" first="Flynn" last="Carlson"] is long and lanky which allows him to play either post position for this squad. He is on the smaller side, but his length allows him the ability to protect the rim. On the offensive end, he is a top-notch passer out of the post. He always has his eyes up and has a knack for finding the right guy. He is a great player in the half-court, and he has the talent around the rim to really shine this summer. If he can gain some muscle in the weight room, he will also be a sneaky good recruit for a division 2 or 3 school.</p>
<p><strong>One Player We Need To See More: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="783205" first="Clayton" last="Bubash"]</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="783205" first="Clayton" last="Bubash"] is extremely talented and definitely has shown the ability to be a top-level player. He can knock down shots from the outside with ease, but his body hasn’t really developed yet, so he doesn’t have the frame or strength to drive and create in the lane. We need to see if he can get into the weight room and put on some muscle, and if he can, it will take a lot of the pressure off of his shooting and make him a more all-around player. If this happens, I can almost guarantee his recruiting will skyrocket.</p>
<p><strong>One Player That Should Surprise: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="874157" first="Jeremiah" last="Lovett"]</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="874157" first="Jeremiah" last="Lovett"] has a wide range of talents that leaves him with a pretty unique game at the moment. He has shown the ability to back a guy down in the post, and he is also incredibly creative in the lane. He uses his strength very effectively in the lane which makes him very difficult to defend. If he is going to get to the next level, he will need to develop his shooting a little bit more. However, his driving ability alone makes him a must-watch player in the future.</p>
