He has a strong upper body that allows him to absorb contact much easier than most players. He knows how to draw fouls and knows when to step out to the three to hit the catch-and-shoot shot. Fuerbacher plays defense aggressively and seems to always be in the right spot to come up with a steal.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1411628"],"_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":"Joseph has a lot of speed and quickness to his game that allows him to blow right by defenders in almost any situation. He thrives in fastbreak situations looking to either kick the ball ahead or take it himself. Joseph will look to go to an effective euro-step move he uses when driving inside the paint. He has a smooth shot from deep and looks for catch-and-shoot opportunities.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1775123"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Parrish is your modern-day sharpshooter who will look to get open by any means necessary. He likes to come off of off-ball screens to the top of the wings on the perimeter so he can get his catch-and-shoot shots. Parrish has a quick release that needs very little room to get off. He has the full confidence to pull-up from three on a fastbreak. His shooting ability can draw double teams to him leading to his teammates getting wide open for easy shots.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1949287"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Smith is the definition of a shot creator with how he scores the basketball. There isn't a shot that he won't take or make. He looks effortless when scoring the basketball with his pull-up game being his most effective move. His range will extend the more he makes in a game. Smith has the quickness along with tight handles to get anywhere on the court. Finishing at the rim strong makes him a complete offensive player. He averaged 21.3 points per game last season.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1456863"],"_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":"Hanson is a three-level scorer who has no weakness in his offensive game. He has tight handles that allow him to get past defenders and into the paint to make some crafty finishes around the rim. He has a nice pull-up midrange shot he likes to go to a lot. His high release point allows him to shoot over most defenders. Hanson is automatic on the catch-and-shoot three and will look to come off of pick-n-pops or off-ball screens to get open.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e77d41aa1c0"} /-->

The 2025 class has lots of great talent and players who may not receive as much attention as they should. We have players on here who for the most part are flying under the radar doing some impressive things on the court. Here are my underrated players for the 2025 class.
