A big forward with soft touch stretching out beyond the arc, Fiedler has been on a tear to start the season.

Taking on a large role for a new look Cherry Creek program, Hammond has risen to the occasion as this group’s primary playmaker. Getting plenty of looks from jump shots, the guard has been instrumental in this group’s success even with plenty of changes to the roster.

Stepping up as the primary playmaker for a top 5A program, Smiley has been imperative to this group’s offensive ceiling. Already strong while attacking downhill with either hand, the guard possesses multiple counters to create space inside the arc.

The guard is particularly flashy at getting jump shots off the dribble, effectively pulling up from the mid-range or beyond the arc. As he continues to add strength, his potential as a high volume perimeter scorer could be realized in the near future.

A sturdy guard, primarily getting his looks from secondary opportunities, typically drawing a dish to attack the closeout. Steady within the arc, Foot does a great job of slowing down the pace in the center of the floor, keeping his head up for extra passes once the off-ball defender falls asleep. Most consistent attacking downhill off the catch, Foot has been great finding efficient attempts in the paint. His defensive versatility has been valuable for Longmont, tasked with guarding up against opposing forwards. His continued shot volume beyond the arc will be worth following, opening up the rest of the floor in due time.
