<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='1579547' first='Ethan' last='Nelson'] - Has gotten a little taller, but is also starting to show what he's good at. Nelson is a transition finisher, that has shown better ball skills and the ability to score around the rim. </p>

<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id='1364177' first='Rahjon' last='Chambers'] - Has improved his overall game. He handles it better, which has made him a much better playmaker. His athleticism has rounded out his overall improvement, as Chambers has developed into one of the state's top R&J guys. </p>

<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id='1983361' first='Jaiden' last='Cobb'] - He has improved some of the things he was already good at. Cobb has an even better handle and has shown that he can create for teammates with the ball in his hand. </p>

<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id='1638175' first='AJ' last='Duke'] - Something must be in the water at Legacy because Duke is another Longhorn who has really improved his game. The scoring guard should fit in nicely next to PG extraordinaire [player_tooltip player_id='1285970' first='Antonio' last='Burns'].</p>

<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id='1667444' first='Brycen' last='Nickerson'] - Nickerson is a guy that seems to always perform well when I watch him. Now it's time for him to translate his play to the high school season. The lefty is a dynamic scorer who could easily use a couple of high-scoring games to validate his improvement. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6. [player_tooltip player_id='1493480' first='Dante' last='Steward'] - Has all the physical tools to stand out. Steward is a big-time athlete, that can impact games with his play above the rim. If he brings the type of edge that I saw from him a few weeks ago, look for him to be a most improved candidate. </p>

<p>7. [player_tooltip player_id='1538617' first='DeMarion' last='Yap'] - He started to come on toward the end of last season. He has a signature skill, and if he continues to add value with his shooting, he could be one of the more improved players heading into this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>8. [player_tooltip player_id='1465681' first='Curtis' last='Coleman'] - A lot of DP's success will be tied to Coleman's improvement as a player. Look for a significant increase in minutes to lead in an overall increase in production from the Sophomore. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>9. [player_tooltip player_id='1572603' first='Cordae' last='Feazell'] - Look for Feazell to be another in a long line of talented Desert Shield guards. He scores effectively and can play the 1 or the 2. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10. [player_tooltip player_id='1284099' first='Jack' last='Walker'] - Walker is one of the top glue guys in the state. He earned his way to the position, as the BC forward has slimmed down, and gotten himself in terrific shape. Look for the increased physique to result in increased production. </p>
