<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the best prospects I saw on Sunday at the Prep Hoops Wisconsin State Tournament!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1390442"],"_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-66831ca5c806b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Agape capped off a strong weekend by helping lead his [program_tooltip program_id='2139004' first='Team' last='Haliburton'] squad to the 17u title. He's been consistently improving his offensive game over the years, and now looks the part of a sharpshooter from beyond the arc. He came out of the gates hot with a handful of jumpers to push his team out to a lead over [program_tooltip program_id='2245199' first='Pride' last='Roc']. Defensively he excels at pressuring the ball, and his combination of quickness and long arms allows him to smother opposing ball handlers. Really well rounded point guard prospect who's been putting together a strong spring/summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391083"],"_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-66831ca5c80c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kyler is a versatile forward who can do damage in the paint or out on the perimeter. He looked the part of a true stretch-four on Sunday morning, picking &amp; popping his way to a handful of three point makes in a double overtime win over Gym Class Heroes. He was giving up some size in his matchup, but with that was taking advantage of his mobility at 6'5. Kyler excelled at running rim-to-rim, and was also able to handle it coast-to-coast on his own to pick up some transition finishes. Really liked his fight to clear out space with a box out before attacking rebounds right off the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2386579"],"_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-66831ca5c810a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devon had a monster performance in a win for [program_tooltip program_id='2228436' first='UTC' last='Fire'] in the game I watched. The 2026 point guard was getting wherever he wanted to off the dribble, showcasing some impressive court vision to set up his teammates for easy buckets. He was running circles around defenders to work his way into the lane, delivering some impressive no-look assists to help his team pick up a big win. Showed the finishing touch to get all the way to the basket and score on his own when a clear path was there as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2406762"],"_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-66831ca5c814b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2406762' first='Brandon' last='Wagner'] shot the lights out in the 16u title game. His team got off to a slow start and it looked like [program_tooltip program_id='2139004' first='Team' last='Haliburton'] may run away with it, but the stretch-four took over with his outside shooting to help his team come away with the win. It seemed like any time his team needed a bucket, Brandon was finding a pocket of space and connecting from deep. Offers the size to defend in the paint and was a strong rebounding presence inside for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382317"],"_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-66831ca5c818b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There was no stopping James when he caught anywhere near the block. The 6'7 sophomore was playing up a year at the 16u level, and dominated the game with his size, touch, and passing vision. When defended by a single man he was able to bully his way to the basket and finish with either hand over the top. Did a nice job of gathering his balance before going up to finish which allowed him to convert on nearly every shot he took. If a double team came, James showed the vision to quickly locate an open teammate, racking up a handful of assists throughout the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2375323"],"_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-66831ca5c81e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blake was another player coming up big down the stretch in the 16u championship game. Running with Diamond Hoops he showcased a smooth pull-up jumper, and excelled at getting to his spots off of limited dribbles. Playing against a team filled with length and athleticism, Blake had no problem getting off shots, and was connecting at a high rate. Helped provided a reliable ball handling presence to break the press, and utilized his 6'2 frame to defend a variety of spots out on the perimeter. Averaged 23.2 ppg across five games over the weekend.</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='2474845' first='D'Anthony' last='Brown']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_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":"Milwaukee Academy of Science","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Power 5","_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-66831ca5c8290"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown played a key role helping lead Jay Academy to the 15u title. His physical tools alone suggest a high ceiling as a prospect, as he stands at 6'7 with long arms and fluid athleticism at his size. In the championship game he was running the floor hard on both ends, and threw down a pair of dunks early in the game that gave his team all the momentum to go on and win big. Defensively he has good instincts as a shot blocker, is a strong rebounder, and has no problem moving his feet when switched out on the perimeter. Promising prospect in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
