Spoiler Alert-players listed below evaluation.
Player #1
He is from Southwest Washington and is in the class of 2024. He’s a lefty guard who can really fill it up, averaging well over 20 points per game. He displays some great moves, getting himself free with the dribble and likes to get all the way to the bucket. He had a deep three buzzer beater off of a side out of bounds play last year. Who is this player?
Highlights
Player #2
A little ways south down interstate 5 from player one, he’s a senior point guard who put up around 17 or 18PPG. He’s a fast guard with the ball in his hands, who also likes to get all the way to the rack with the drive. He makes some great passes and sees the floor well. He’s athletic and not all that tall but has good length. He is one of a combo of returning guards who averaged double figures. His game will translate to the next level, his handles are good and although he can knock down the three he’s best at getting to the bucket. He sometimes sees the game so well that he got ahead of himself last season. He’ll make a one handed pass here and there and has a little flash to his game. Who is this player?
Player #3
Further south he’s also a lefty who has been a multi-year starter. He has a sweet looking jumper and is crafty when he gets to the basket. He scored around the same as player number 2 and is also a senior. His mid-range game is on point but I think he’s got competition in his own backcourt for best p4ull up jumper. Both are excellent. There’s a few guards on his team that are notable and they are all mentally tough. Who is this player?
Player #4
A hop, skip, and a jump across town from player three. He’s a dynamic scorer, who put up a mind blowing amount of points in a summer league game this off-season. He’s got a nice, compact shot and is money from anywhere on the court. He gets to his spots changing pace, and using the dribble seemingly effortlessly. He will pull it from mid range, and drop dimes to open teammates. Who is this player?
Player #5
He’s hoping to get back to Yakima next season and finish with a bigger trophy. We’re further north off of interstate 5 now. He’s the best athlete on his team and maybe in his league. He was the number two scorer from last year’s team. He’s a slasher and can finish the break with a dunk. He’s got a nice touch from outside and he can be a stat stuffer the way he jumps out of the gym. Who is this player?
Player #6
A little further north, he had great success with his team last year. A team that hopes to get the same results this year. He is a shooter, and has decent size for a guard. He had some big moments in the post-season, and a big bucket in his last games final minutes. He’s also well versed in the mid-range game. His team is loaded with talent and he should be one of the top scorers once again. Who is this player?
Highlights
Player #7
Up interstate 5 and off to the right and then some. He’s a dynamic guard who is lightning quick. His team is also loaded with talent. He is a junior and had himself a great post-season last year. He has deep range and a quick release. He is quick. I think I mentioned that. Who is this player?
Player #8
We’re going over the mountains and to eastern Washington. This player has a unique skill set for his size. He is one of the taller players on the list. He can shoot, rebound, block shots, throw down dunks, post up, bring the ball up the floor. Missed some time with injury last season but he’s healthy and ready for a big time impact player season. Who is this player?
Highlights
Player #9
We’re somewhere over in the middle of eastern Washington. He plays in the Mid/Co league. He’s a returning starter with a sweet looking shot who also has some serious hops. He’s only a junior and should have a breakout season. He can get to the rim, or sit back and drain threes all day long. He’s got good length and is wiry athletic. Who is this player?
Player #10
Somewhere over there near player nine. He’s busy with football right now as the QB for his team. He’s a junior and he can shoot the air out of the ball. He’s got one of the nicest looking catch and shoot jumpers in the state. He can play either guard but will probably be the main point guard for his team this year. He’s crafty and has great vision. He’s underrated. Who is this player?
