Northern Colorado Team Camp: Productive Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These prospects brought notably high motors on the glass, alongside areas of growth within their offensive skill sets. Taking on high usage roles for their programs, get ready for a few of these names to step into much higher usage roles through the upcoming high school season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1479353"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6668abaf9c84e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aldana's high motor and steadily improved offensive skill set makes him a productive option at Frederick. They continue to prove capable of guarding a wide variety of positions due to his height, strength, and mobility. Offensively, he continues to show value while attacking closeouts, finishing rim attempts through contact or contests. As well, Aldana continues to develop as a floor spacer, knocking down the open three when provided space. Additionally working to facilitate the halfcourt offense, Aldana has provided shotmakers and slashers with plenty of scoring opportunities through his time at Frederick. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2422518"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6668abaf9c8e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The high motor forward who put up lofty numbers from the jump with his time at McClave, Kelley brings a quick burst getting up for putbacks around the rim. His second and third jumps for rebounds are a fair bit quicker than opponents, leaving them with much fewer opportunities to secure the board. Although primarily a scoring option around the rim, Kelley is continuing to show growth as a driver, attacking from the elbows or top of the key. Not just a rebounder and scoring option, Kelley repeatedly facilitated cuts and post options, locating passes through tight windows. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1493068"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6668abaf9c943"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the better floor spacers in the state at his height, Praytor routinely knocked down a wide variety of spot-up attempts. Even though opponents still attempt the closeout, Praytor is not fazed particularly with the high release. Should opponents allow him a few seconds in the post, he operates well in space, actively pivoting into high hand finishes with either hand. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2274676"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6668abaf9c9b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins is a particularly intriguing defender who can match up 1 through 3 with ease. His lanky frame and quick hips allow him to hold his own versus smaller, quicker guards. With constant activity with his hands defensively, they deterred numerous shot attempts around the basket. Gathering at least two blocks per game through his opportunities, he is just as valuable defending the rim following the departure of 2024 forward Walker Asp. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2460832' first='Zeke' last='Andrews']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ralston Valley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6668abaf9ca74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Andrews adds plenty of grit to Ralston Valley's frontcourt opportunities, a strong and active rebounder on either end. Capable of playing either the 4 or 5 at the high school level, his motor created quite a few extra shot attempts for himself and teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2107072"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6668abaf9cac2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Up around 20 rebounds in at least two of his games at the event, Junker continues to showcase improved offensive skills alongside the limitless motor. Continuing to improve his handle and footwork to create openings around the rim, opponents have trouble keeping up with his tireless work in the paint. Effective pivoting past multiple opponents, his game is continuing to evolve on that end. Junker has held his own against older and taller frontcourt opponents, among the most disciplined frontcourt defenders in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
