The 6-4 shooting guard has unlimited range and is fearless when it comes to attacking the basket. Look for Lambert to be the replacement for former Pirate standout Alex Perry when it comes to finding a role for the freshman. He played up on the travel circuit this summer and will be exciting to watch this upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1579751"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eKey Returners: u003c/strongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1579751' first='Kaden' last='Suber'] 5-10 CG (2025)rnrnSuber is your typical all-around player whether he's shooting from beyond the arc or getting to the basket. In limited attempts last season, Suber shot 56 percent from beyond the arc as a freshman.

The two-way guard also has a high motor and can light it up from beyond the arc, as he shot 57 percent from long range as a freshman last season. Expect Chin and Suber to handle the primary point guard duties leading a young Port Charlotte squad this upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Caleb Campos","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Port Charlotte","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eSleeper Prospect: u003c/strongu003eCaleb Campos 6-7 PF (2023)rnrnCampos has pure skill and length for his size whether he's collecting rebounds off the glass or finishing at the rim. He is also a very good ball-handler and can spot up and shoot from mid-range. Campos has double-double average potential as he gears up for an impact senior season.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1578108"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eSleeper Prospect: u003c/strongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1578108' first='Bode' last='Stewart'] 6-6 SF (2023)rnrnStewart can play anywhere on the floor whether he's in the post or out on the wing.
