<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This summer I was able to watch a ton of talented prospects in different locations. This article will feature some of the top talent that I've been following throughout the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2432738"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a94935b92f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Throughout the summer I was able to watch Shyam Patel play multiple games in AAU and on his High School squad where his school hosted a summer league. Shyam can shoot the lights out from the perimeter at high efficiency. The reason why he shoots at a high efficiency is because he relocates on offense moving without the ball. He constantly cuts and makes sure he spaces the floor well. Defensively he uses his physical tools to disrupt passing lanes and keep up with opposing players on the ball. His physical tools also allow him to grab rebounds on both ends of the floor showing tremendous hustle in that aspect of his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2432734"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a94935b935a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In AAU and his school's summer league Matthew showed that he is an explosive athlete with great leaping ability. He finishes strong around the rim in the half court and in transition. Matthew has a high motor on the glass, it's been times I've seen him grab multiple offensive rebounds in games I've watched him play throughout the summer.  Overall, Matthew provided great hustle while playing for the Invictus Red Storm this summer and Fort Bend Austin during the summer league. I look forward to seeing him play this upcoming high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1226456"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a94935b939c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1226456' first='Montana' last='Wheeler'] is a guard that plays with no fear. He uses a variety of different moves to get to the basket and pull up for jump shots all over the floor. He has great body control when going up for layups, not letting defenders affect him while finish around the rim. He plays an up tempo game getting the ball quickly down the floor after his team gets a stop on the defensive end. Montana also makes tough shots through contact at the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2370101"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a94935b9406"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> Izu is a very tall, big man that uses his physical tools well. He brings a physical play style on the floor. When rebounding the ball, he has an endless pursuit of the basketball that was really impressive to see at the Rice Team Camp. Offensively he will get most of his touches within the perimeter displaying the ability to finish around the rim and pull up for short mid-range jumpers. His big presence in the paint this upcoming high school season should greatly impact the Clear Springs High School squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2028635"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a94935b944c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> [player_tooltip player_id='2028635' first='Elijah' last='Black'] is a quick guard that impacts the game in a variety of different ways. First, he makes plays for himself with his ability score on all three levels filling up stat sheets throughout the summer. Second, he makes plays for his teammates finding pass openings against opposing defense's with his court vision. Third, he is good defensively on the ball and in passing lanes keeping his hands active on that end of the floor. Elijah should definitely be on the radar as one of the best Texas guards in the 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
