The 6'9 forward shot the lights out beyond while looking like an elite rim protector. He's blessed with elite physical tools, quickness for the power forward position, outside and inside scoring instincts. Newell covers a ton of ground, developed moves in the post, and attacks the boards on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caleb Pennyfeather | North Florida Prep<br>Pennyfeather is a 6'8 forward who flashed skills on day 1 of the event. It's the size, the potential for shot creation, and the willingness to run the floor. He's a fluid athlete with plus length. He's 2024 to monitor over the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke Sinisa | North Florida Prep<br>Sinisa has good footwork and soft touch as a 6'7 forward. He uses feel and head fakes to score below the rim rather than relying on athleticism. He doesn't shy away from physicality and is a consistent offensive rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1450213"],"_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-643185f588cc6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1450213' first='Mo' last='Kamara'] played up two age groups and didn't look out of place at all. He's a spring-loaded athlete that combines explosive and smooth leaping abilities. He's long, lean, and willing to attack the offensive glass every opportunity he gets. He excels at running the floor, cutting in the half court, and can hit the outside jumper even if he takes them sparingly. Kamara plays with a high energy level and is a consistent shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2294528' first='Julius' last='Kimani'] is a 2027 prospect that stands 7 feet tall.
