Malachi Hedrick never disappoints in this regard, and I guarantee there will be a jaw drop moment or two, or three, when you sit in the stands and watch him perform.  Whether it's his electric athleticism or his silky smooth rhythm, he will provide an energy like no other to the Highlands Ranch basketball program.  Hedrick's play style will remind you of a Jalen Green caliber star, slicing through defenses and attacking the rim at will while getting creative with his shot selection.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1577379"],"_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":"With Quincy, his positivity radiates on and off the court, and helps him dominate the game.  He constantly uplifts his teammates and is always looking to facilitate the rock, while getting deep in his bag to score.  Helsel truly is a 3 level threat who excels driving to the cup and finishing through tough contact.  The stud isn't afraid to get crafty in his mid range game either, as it won't matter if you put a hand up, you've already given him too much space.  Look for him to be a problem during his final season at Mountain Range High School.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1369808"],"_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":"King, it's in the name.  The 6'2 guard lets his game do all the talking.  Making defenders look foolish is just another day in the office for LaDavian.  His three ball is automatic.  He's always seeks to dish out dimes to his teammates.  Remaining humble, the sky is the limit for u0022LD.u0022  In his last hoorah at Eaglecrest High School, look for him to make a statement this year and showcase his elite talents to the box state and beyond.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1284561"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1284561' first='Mareon' last='Chapman'], can electrify a gym with his prolific enthusiasm.  Chapman possesses a killer set of handles that can shake and bake defenders in an instant.  His speed is one of his best attributes, along with his drive and hustle on defense.  He's always the most talkative player on the court, communicating with his teammates and making action happen.  Mareon's three point shot is as automatic as death and taxes.  In his finale at RangeView High School, expect him to make the same impact and more.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1420307"],"_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":"At a monstrous 6'10, Lutheran's [player_tooltip player_id='1420307' first='Hunter' last='Caldwell'] is a ferocious big not to be messed with.  His impact in the paint is unquestionable, as he's always looking to dominate on both ends of the court.  His intimidation and shot blocking is impressive, and not to mention he has quite a stroke from beyond the arc.  While maintaining his skill on the court, he's soft spoken and humble off the court too.  His versatility will be crucial for Lutheran High School's success this season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652c45a5ac687"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
