Underrated Players from North Idaho

<p>Hidden among gorgeous mountains and a seemingly infinite number of trees, North Idaho is home to some of the most breathtaking views, and most skilled basketball players found in the great state of Idaho.

Ethan has been very consistent, nonetheless, and he is routinely a foundational piece for his team. Butler has a great feeling for playing inside and out and has never backed down from a disadvantage on either end of the floor.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="969731" first="Tristan" last="Gentry"], St. Maries:</strong> Tristan has had a stellar prep career thus far and will look to help St. Maries claim another state championship banner during the upcoming season. Gentry is a great talent who has found many ways to impact the game around him. Gentry has shown flashes of being able to take over any game and it will be great to watch him step into more of a leadership role in the upcoming season. Watch for Tristan to make big strides and step into a much larger role this season for St. Maries.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="923090" first="Donovan" last="Daniels"], Genesis Prep:</strong> Daniels is poised for a breakout year at Genesis Prep where he can truly show his skills and expertise on the court. Donovan has a great feeling for the game and can score at multiple levels with ease. He has a smooth jump shot, defends well, and even rebounds really well from the guard position. Daniels will look to step into an expanded role this season and he should also get the opportunity to handle a lot more of the scoring responsibilities.</p>
