Class of 2027 Possible Top 5

Class of 2027 Possible Top 5

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a list of players that could be in that Top 5 conversation</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["30352"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-650205e8b06e1"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jamal is that dude that will take over a game and take on a whole team if he has to. He is quick on the first step and he gets low but can elevate. He has some greta form on pull-up jumpers and he has an elite floater that he can get over bigs. On the defensive side of the ball he stays low and he is just a ball hawk as he fly's all over the floor with that active defensive style he has. In the open floor he attracts a lot of attention and he makes good use of it finding cutters and open players. With that elite ability to get by defenders and get his shoulders in front to protect is something else. This kid is too nice. it would be really hard to argue him not being the best player in the class right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["30353"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-650205e8b0701"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Indiana is at it again as they continue to produce talent as a basketball rich state. Jaylen is a 6'5 big guard that is just built different. He is strong and agile and with height he really showcases his all-around guard skills. The kid guards bigs, blocks shots with his great timing and then he gathers the ball and pushes the ball up the floor with his eyes up finding open players filling lanes and running the floor. Relocation is off the chart as he often looses defenders because he is so active off the ball and when he can step out and knockdown jumpers he is just too tough to defend. He is going to be big time as well as he can absorb contact and finish. Three-level scorer already. Do not be surprised if he remains in the Top 5 throughout his high school career either. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["30354"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-650205e8b071b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cameron is another big guard that is just punishing defenders, zones and anything any coach throws at him defensively. When he catches the ball in the perimeter he really gets going down hill with that rip and go. Those long strides get him to the rim quickly. He is throwing it down with force in traffic right now as he has no fear attacking the rim. He can pick n' pop and he defends very well. He uses those wall ups and he can time shots and block them with ease. He is a Top Tier Prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["30355"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-650205e8b0733"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaxon has to be Kenny Smith reincarnated as he has that old school meets new school game. That smooth lefty glide to the rim style and defensive activity is just different. Lefty float game is tough and he is an elite PG that can get in the lanes and create for others. IQ is off the charts as he racks up steals with his sneaky defensive awareness. He gets out on the break and is always at his own pace. He uses his change of place to keep defenders off balance. This is a PG that other good players want to play with because he makes people around him better. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["30356"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-650205e8b074c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooper is a prospect that gives you his all and he is always running that motor. On defense he is active and trying to read the the offense to jump passing lanes. He has elite vision as he is always looking for cutters. Cooper passes up good shots for better shots. Good speed and body control and when he is finishing at the rim he has some creativity to his finishes. Next level PG for sure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
