<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Florida features new faces every year. It's a hotbed for talent and with it being so big, it's easy to find a new name without looking too hard. We feature guys who crept into the rankings after huge senior seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1841487"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6416307f429a3"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'7 guard soars above the rim in transition and when attacking the glass. He's a big guard the runs floor, hits the three off the catch, and makes big second chance plays as an offensive rebounder. His combination of size and skillset have transformed to u see the radar prospect in Idaho to one of the best unsigned seniors in the southeast.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1642817"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6416307f429ff"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is a volume scorer that torched teams for 25 a game. The 6'4 combo guard can get his shot off on all three levels but thrives in the midrange. He has the athleticism to score around the rim against bigger bodies. He may have been his team's primary offensive hub, but with talented young big [player_tooltip player_id='1620356' first='Patrick' last='Johnson'] averaging a 13 point double-double, he's showing he can thrive with other talented players on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1849943"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6416307f42a46"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cilladi caught my eye over the summer. He's an athletic 6'6 combo forward with the toughness to produce at the four and skillset to hold his own on the perimeter. His athleticism gives him the advantage over guards and some wings. It helps him make up the size difference on the block. He's a versatile power with ideal size to play up and down a lineup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1841879"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6416307f42a87"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ritchie brings size and shooting to any roster. At 6'4 and a career 35% clip from three, he's carved out a role that's coveted in the pace and space era. He's big enough to defend both guard spots and less athletic wings. Ritchie coverts shots at the rim and midrange as well. His numbers may not blow you away, but it's the productivity and efficiency in so many areas that show what his game is made of.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1841876"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6416307f42ac7"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nuhu may be one of the most active players in the class. The 6'4 forward is consistently making second chance plays with his athleticism and timing. He's a spring loaded athlete that's always at the right place at the right time. Nuhu is raw offensively, but you can't teach instincts to keep plays alive, let alone the motor to produce in a crowd.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Florida features new faces every year. It's a hotbed for talent and with it being so big, it's easy to find a new name without looking too hard. We feature guys who crept into the rankings after huge senior seasons.
