<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the high school season in the rear view mirror let's take a closer look at some of the area's top players who will look to make a name for themselves over the summer. The 2027 class is loaded with talent and it will be on full display this travel season, not only in SWFL but across the entire state. Keep an eye on these prospects as they continue to grow their game and look to build their stock this offseason and throughout their sophomore year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

had a great freshman campaign for Canterbury.  He was their primary ball handler and showed he has the ability to score in bunches.  The 5'11u0022 PG is a quick, shifty guard who plays the game fast.  He can beat you off the dribble and attack the basket, or pull-up quick and knock down the mid-range jumper consistently.  Rivera is also an excellent shooter from behind-the-arc, where he connected on multiple 3-pointers in a number of games this past season.  He is aggressive on defense and likes to force steals, turning defense into offense.  Rivera is a hardworking prospect who continues to elevate his game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Pito

6'2u0022 CG has great size for his position, and is a tremendous 2-way player.  Marquez handles the ball very well and has great court vision in finding his teammates.  He shoots the 3-ball at high rate and has a solid mid-range game, but can be very effective when he uses his speed and attacks the basket.  He is a smart player who's proven he can score on all 3-levels.  Defensively he can guard multiple positions and plays extremely well in the transition game.  Marquez is an effective rebounder on both ends of the floor, and as he continues to fine tune his game, his stock will continue to rise.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2411331"],"_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":"The Aubrey Rogers big man is a very intriguing prospect.  He has great size and an advanced skillset for a player his age.  Keric is an excellent rebounder, both offensively and defensively, and is a presence in the middle where he can alter and block shots.  He is effective in the post and can finish with contact, but also has a nice, soft touch on his mid-range game to compliment it.  He knows the game well, and is a great passer from the post position.  Keric is a prospect to continue to monitor, where he continues to develop his game and mature as a player, into what could be one of the top bigs in the area over his high school career.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2125500"],"_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":"Nestor was very productive for the Pirates in his freshman year.  The 5'10u0022 CG affects the game in a number of ways, with both his offense and defense.  He's a tremendous ball handler who stays calm under pressure and can score on all 3-levels.  He likes to attack the basket and get to the line, but can be lethal from outside where he knocks down the 3-ball at a very high rate.  Nestor is a 3 and D guy, who if he gets hot can score in bunches.  Defensively he will not back down from any assignment and is just a tough-nosed, gritty defender who will be in your face for 94ft.  Nestor has a lot of talent and look for his stock to continue to rise as he grows into one of the top prospects in the area.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2423515"],"_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":"Cadavos has a very high basketball IQ and plays the game smart and composed.  He is a true floor general each time he takes the court.  He handles the ball, sees the court and finds his teammates, and just facilitates the offense when he's out there.  Cadavos also has a nice stroke from the outside and shoots it from behind-the-arc with confidence and accuracy.  Defensively, he's a scrappy guard who plays with intensity and isn't afraid to get on the floor for a loose ball.  Cadavos is a player who seems to get better and better with every game he plays, and is one to take note of heading into his sophomore year.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643adf1cf5da"}
