He's a tough guard who is going to get after you on the defensive end, get to the bucket and finish through contact, get others involved, and knock down everything when he's given a bit of space. He led the Cougars in scoring as a junior, putting up 14.0 points a game on 46-40-86 shooting splits while also serving as a reliable secondary ball-handler and playmaker.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["956887"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Kelderman had a breakout junior year for the Wolves, averaging 16.0 points and 5.4 assists with 50-43-84 shooting splits. He's a 6-0 lead guard with a great feel for the game who does a good job changing speeds and using his strength to power through contact and get to the rim for finishes. He's a knockdown shooter with a pure lefty stroke, and he sees the floor extremely well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1167706"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Lueth didn't put up huge scoring numbers as a junior for the Little Cyclones (7.4 points), but his value comes on the defensive end, where he provides a ton of versatility with his ability to defend on the perimeter, contest shots, and bump down into the paint to defend bigger players when needed. He can defend 1 through 5 at the high school level and should probably be able to defend 2 through 4 as he transitions to collegiate ball. He's a good athlete with elite length, a pride in defense, and great instincts and timing. Arguably the most impactful defender in the state, he's also a solid 3-point shooting threat at 6-7, which makes him a very intriguing prospect heading into his senior year.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1167670"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"A high IQ, efficient lead guard who plays with pace and never gets sped up, Littlefield had a really solid junior year for the Warriors, averaging 11.0 points on 49-49-87 shooting splits, and posting a 2-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Nothing that he does is going to overwhelm you, but he's a really solid all-around player who makes a major impact on both ends of the floor with his understanding of the game, positioning, and ability to score and facilitate.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1167685"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Littlefield's primary running mate last season, Peiffer is a mobile 6-7 big man coming off a very productive junior year in which he averaged 12.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks a game. He provides some versatility on both ends of the floor with his ability to switch onto opposing ball-handlers without getting lost, protect the rim, score around the bucket, and occasionally stretch the floor.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1381422"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"A physical, athletic lead guard with an advanced understanding of the game, Stinson was really good as a freshman for Valley, averaging 9.5 points and 2.3 assists a game while playing strong team defense and contributing on the glass. He's a three-level scorer who is at his best when he's playing downhill and using his size and athleticism to put pressure on opposing defenses. He holds an offer from Missouri already and should continue to stockpile offers in the coming years.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1381414"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"The youngest McCaffery boy is oozing with potential. He got off to a strong start to his varsity career with the Trojans before his production tailed off a bit down the stretch, as most freshmen do when playing major varsity minutes, especially at this high a level. McCaffery is a 6-8/6-9 forward who can score on the block and stretch the floor with a pure stroke from the arc. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is continually becoming more comfortable with the ball in his hands and creating looks for himself and others. He averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists a game as a freshman and will be the team's go-to option as a sophomore.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1381412"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Kern could be joining Stinson Jr and McCaffery in the national rankings before too long. A modern big man who can protect the rim, stretch the floor, and score inside the painted area, Kern averaged 10.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks as a freshman with 54-44-67 shooting splits. He followed that up with a tremendous summer with Martin Brothers, which helped him pick up a pair of offers from South Dakota State and Northern Iowa.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
