He will be one of several returners for this rendition of 6A Murphy. He will be one of several from the Panthers slated to be on hand at this year's Prep Hoops Alabama Top 250 Expo. Six from Murphy are on the list for this year's event – including three from this year's sophomore class. Mangram has no problems drawing contact and getting opportunities at the free throw line. His lockdown defense can cause problems for opposing ball carriers and leaving them turnover prone. Mangram's rim attacking and ferociousness can lead to him delivering strong finishes at the cup.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6514c7cd7768d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1753248"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eAt a towering 6-foot-6, Sellers will be one of the taller prospects that will be on the scene this week at the Prep Hoops Alabama Top 250 Expo. He stands at an imposing 6-foot-6 for 5A Faith Academy. Sellers combines that height with an ability to play at a variety of positions on the floor – including as a guard and as a forward. He combines that length with a wingspan that can affect an opposing team's passing lanes and create extra possessions for his team. Sellers also does a great deal of work on the glass. He is a dual-sport athlete who also competes with the Lions' football team.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6514c7cd776fc"} /-->
