Summer Ball Stars

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's a ton of action all over the state with June summer high school basketball. Players are showing off their improved games and giving us a preview of what we may see this winter. As we try to give you a feel for some of the many standouts this month, check out these athletes that have starred in summer ball across the state!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1438260"],"_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-666c5bd32e230"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perryman is known for his speed, ball handling and creativity. Deservedly so, and those have continued to be elite strengths for the skilled guard. But his passing has really stood out so far this month. Perryman has shown terrific court vision, specifically with his ability to find teammates in open space near the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1437541"],"_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-666c5bd32e289"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blackwell came into high school known as an elite prospect and he's done nothing but back that ever since. He's been feeling his game so far in June. Blackwell has been dangerous with his pull up jumper and has looked smooth and confident off the catch. He has attacked the rim with a nasty crossover that he can go both ways with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588195"],"_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-666c5bd32e2cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There were rave reviews about Forrest coming out of the Grand Valley State gyms this month. His film backs the reviews. He brought a ton of energy, effort and selflessness to the floor in Allendale. Forrest was a true 2 way player that influenced the game on both ends. His toughness and physicality allows him to play bigger than his height and he's a versatile defender that can pick up at half court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1805261"],"_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-666c5bd32e30a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones has been impressive to say the least so far this month. He looks bigger and stronger, which is really enhancing his physical game. Jones has shown the ability to attack with both hands and can cross a defender in either direction. He's shown both creativity with his finishes and the ability to power through contact. I like the way Jones is willing to finish off 2 feet as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588163"],"_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-666c5bd32e349"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was able to see Zickert at a summer ball event in Kingsley. Hos Benzie Central team is young, but Zickert looks ready to carry the torch as a leader for the team. His upper body strength makes it very tough for offensive opponents to gain or keep position on him. Zickert showed the ability to score at all 3 levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
