While <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1121408' first='Jaden' last='Clark']</strong> typically leads the team in scoring he endures a tolerable portion of the scoring burden. In fact, the Knights don't even need him to take the initial shot for them to thrive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark scores points in a variety of ways: off rebounds, slashing, shooting 3's, free throws. This approach, a microcosm of the Knights at large, challenges defenses and defenders by keeping their basketball brains unsteady. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1121408' first='Jaden' last='Clark'] is a quick second leaper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Only a sophomore, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2636457' first='Kyson' last='Barney']</strong> never looks outclassed. Sure he can she will improve as a varsity scorer, but his speed and dribbling capabilities serve the Knights adequately now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PrepHoopsTN/status/1725332752906518859?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PrepHoopsTN/status/1725332752906518859?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1121409' first='Lucas' last='Pring']</strong> is a lean forward with nice height. He needs to become more physical and initiate contact sometimes. His shooting touch is marketable. A very different forward from Pring, <strong>Adam Mickulin</strong> gives a little mid-range and adds more strength defending and rebounding around the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sophomore class for NHS is tremendous: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2306628' first='Kael' last='Barney']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2636457' first='Kyson' last='Barney']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1959892' first='Bryant' last='Hall'] Jr.</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1946924' first='Chris' last='Johnson']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1947169' first='Oliver' last='Bender']</strong>. Since the seniors are more seasoned the 2026's will only see sporadic shine and yet they are certain to win a lot of games together in the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
