<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Central Florida is ripe with college basketball talent. To shine light on them, we're starting a two part series to break down their game. Below is a list of six prospects who have the talent and skillsets to play at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1302882"],"_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":"Doe is a 5'10 point guard who balances playmaking with volume while having a low turnover ratio. He's a knockdown shooter who can get hot beyond the line when taking a high number of attempts and has his feet set.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aa0108ddd9b"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Demarcus McDaniel</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McDaniel is an athletic 6'3 slasher. He's a good transition athlete who will run open lanes and finishes above the rim with force. In the halfcourt, he's a downhill scorer whose length and athletic bursts make him dangerous out of side puck and rolls. He's a decent rebounder for the position, with the open-court handle and speed to lead the break. Would benefit from a year of postgrad, a year on a developmental team, or a JUCO that specializes in player development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2308269"],"_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":"Pina is growing babes in the 2026 class. The 6'6 wing is nearly averaging a double-double for the second consecutive season. He's a good athlete with the awareness and vertical pop to make plays as a weak side shot blocker. Pina is a strong rebounder, developing as a shooter, and a consistent finisher in the paint. He's a young player we have to get more eyes on because he jumps off the screen during livestream and film breakdowns.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aa0108dddf8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055768"],"_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":"For the last four years, McCoy has been the high IQ pass-first point guard who's made Forest run like a well-oiled machine. As a senior, he's taken a major step as a scorer. He's nearly doubled his 14 points per game last season while crossing the 22 point mark several times. McCoy is noticeably more coated, and it's made him a stronger finisher in the paint.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aa0108dde63"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1660037"],"_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":"Piggot's jump from freshman year to sophomore has squarely placed him into Division I prospect territory. The 6'4 off guard has impressed as a spot up shooter all season while moving fluid mechanics for shooting off the dribble. He's a next level athlete that pinches dunks on the break and has a few oysters under his belt. He's shuttering touch as a finisher especially against tans with size. Piggot has a competitive streak that fuels his motor and on-ball defense. He has a really promising athletic package that could grow as he takes on more offensive responsibility.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aa0108ddeb7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1457198"],"_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":"Prophette used December to take his game from promising to a bonafide college prospect. He's always had the athleticism to compete, but now he has the slashing and shooting to produce on par with the best public school talent. He's shooting spot up jumpers at a high clip and showing he can hold those same mechanics when taking pull up jumpers. He's fearless when attacking the rim and it's leading to several and1s a game. Prophette is an above the rim athlete, and it's best displayed on the break where he can chase down blocks in transition and finish well above the rim.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aa0108ddf00"} /-->
