<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The name of the game is upside when scouting underclassmen. The four players below were on our radar, but they've added things to start the season. Keep an eye on these players. They're on track to elevate their game and skill set this season. Here's a link to part 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696238"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65768df2e42a4"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earl is a tough-nosed combo guard who transferred from Wheeler High School in Atlanta. He's a consistent double-figure scorer who can knock down shots from distance and finish at the rim. The 2026 prospect rebounds really well for the position. Provides secondary ball handling for a team with two lead guards who will play college ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1859288"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65768df2e430b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You usually don't see seniors on these kind of lists, but the hidden gem has the game to make him pop at the next level. He's a three-level scorer who gets where he wants on the floor with pace and a defense-shifting handle. Add in a burst that gets him past defenders and a hair-trigger jump shot, and you have the formula for his offensive game. White is a really good finisher around the rim who places his ball with speed and in area high school defenders can't reach. The 6'2 combo guard has a lot of value off the ball thanks to his shooting. May be better suited as a point guard because of his scoring gravity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kalvin Vengeto | The Rock</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'10 French center has a way to go before becoming a high-level contributor, but has amazing tools. The next step in his development really hangs on him becoming more coordinated and adding strength to his frame. Flashes have the ability to take big and forward off the dribble in straight lines. Between his length, flashes of a handle, and athleticism, he's a long-term prospect to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1293157"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65768df2e435a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leslie played limited minutes, but it was the flashes he showed that landed him on this list. He's maturing physically to fill out his 6'6 frame with muscle. It's helped him improve as an athlete. His first shot attempt was a vertical dunk attempt that turned into a trip to the line. He played more like a four than a wing, but his billing as a shooter, coupled with strength, athleticism, and toughness, improves his stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
