<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This class resembles the Class of 2024 but a lot earlier because there are so many players in this class that are next level and they are showing it at a very early age. Here are some players in the rankings you should know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278443"],"_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","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d5a4dc77ef8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278443' first='Anthony' last='Felesi'] is currently the top player in the state but he has two prospects bellow him that are making some moves. He has already made some waves with his style of play as he has been using some elite footwork and attacking skills to use various finishes at the rim. Before teams did not know what he could do he was bending that rim with some back door plays and finishing above the rim. He has a very good off the bounce game. He is probably up there with the best of them when it comes to playing as a freshman. He has been logging a lot of minutes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278502"],"_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","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d5a4dc77fbb"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Listening to people in the crowd say, "there is no way he's a freshman" is probably one of the best compliments you can get. He is built and athletic. He is a player you can put all over the floor and he is going to find a way. He's like the Wes Welcker of basketball. He can run the PG position, they can put him at the high post and they can also use him on the wings to score. Kid is speedy and shifty. He is also passing the ball really well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278431"],"_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","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d5a4dc7803d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a major log jam of guards at the varsity level right now Itay is just waiting his turn. He has some skills he is able to showcase at the lower levels right now but this kid in time could really help that Skyline squad. He has the shooting ability and a little handle getting stronger and that IQ continues to improve. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278449"],"_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","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d5a4dc780b4"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was just a matter of time before Mason earned more minutes at the varsity level. He has taken advantage of that time and is starting to really use his shooting to help his team and himself as a guard that is looking to stretch the floor. Will run with AZ Unity this spring and summer and he should be able to use that shooting skill to get going from deep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Isaiah Reiser","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Copper Hills","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d5a4dc781ae"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another freshman getting the nod at the starting PG for a 6A school. This youngster has been able to shoot teh all well and he has that snake down in the paint and he is making everyone better around him. If this is just the beginning he might go down as one of the best PG's to come out of Copper Hills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
