<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is another batch of players that might not be on the radar but that are having and excellent season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1115973"],"_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-63daaae3a2764"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The crafty PG has quietly been doing his thing. He has scored in double-digits in all but four games this year. Although his team is not having a ton of success it does not dim the fact that Colton is a scoring PG that rebound sthe heck out of the ball and he shares the rock too. It would not be a surprise if this kids ends up with a triple-double this year the way he plays and the motor that he has. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1384542"],"_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-63daaae3a27e6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nothing better than watching a payer succeed and just put in the work. He does not do that EXTRA stuff, kid just clocks in and puts in work and he is killing it this year. Plays in that often overlooked Region in 5A out beyond the Provo area. In the last four games he has gone over 100 points in total scoring and in time he will be a 1,000 point scorer that is doing it quietly. He shoots it well from all over the floor and he is able to just use his high motor to get buckets. With good size he is a perfect fit for a school in the NWAC looking for a strong off the ball guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1201672"],"_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-63daaae3a2857"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With various talent levels littered all over the state Bryson would be a great fit at a 4-year school at the D3 Level. We hear he has great academics and he is a high IQ and hard working guard who is an extension of his coaches out on the floor. He leads all scorers in 3A and he is a player that has figured out how to score at all 3 levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1548362"],"_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-63daaae3a28e2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malachi is a good player that has a lot of potential. This year he is getting his feet wet at the varsity level and he is trying to figure out his role on a team that is very perimeter dominant. He is a tru wing that can play a slashing attack style. He can use some good footwork and get to the rim. When he gets his shooting percentage up out in the perimeter you will need to watch-out for this kid. </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":"Isaac Neibaur","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Corner Canyon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Salt Lake Rebels","_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-63daaae3a29d0"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to kids with a high motor Isaac has to be on top of the list with some solid players across the state. He is always alert and active trying to find and edge, steal a rebound or make that hustle play. He can score and muscle his way in the point. He often times guards bigger and does the little things. Big time role player for one of the best teams out west. Isaac is always racking up big minutes when he is on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Here is another batch of players that might not be on the radar but that are having and excellent season.
