His body started developing and his explosiveness in the open court became very apparent as Evans has become an above the rim player. Always been a good defender and capable shooter, Evans athletic expansion has allowed new areas of his game to shine, including his self-creation ability off the dribble. Earning his first two offers from MAC powerhouses, Ohio and Kent State. Expect more schools to come calling on Evans as we approach the contact periods for 2027 prospects in June of 2025. Expect Evans to be one of the most productive underclassmen in Ohio this winter for a Pickerington Central team that still has some intriguing pieces to compete in a deep central Ohio region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125748"],"_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-66bb72ff1bd1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lakota West is stacked with young talent and they are the lone school to have two players in our top 10 of the 2027 rankings. The duo of Tyson and [player_tooltip player_id='2140178' first='Bryce' last='Curry'] played together on the 3SSB circuit for Phenom United and they had a solid season together. Tyson is an athletic shooting guard who has a lot of ability to attack closeouts and score as an off-ball player. A big time transition threat, Tyson can get into top speed in a hurry. Tyson also is a capable shooter from the outside, knocking down shots with his feet set at a high clip. Lakota West returns their top four scorers from their team last year and should contend for a GMC title this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128752"],"_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-66bb72ff1bd61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maybe the tallest player in Ohio for his class, Lewis continues to grow and show potential for Maumee Valley Country Day. His length and ability to protect the rim is quite intriguing and he showed us development offensively as he continues to work and get better during the off-season. Bigs usually take longer to develop, and Lewis is coming along at a nice pace that has us confident he'll attract a lot of recruiting interest when he's an upperclassman. One of the more intriguing high upside players to monitor in the 2027 class in Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2333237"],"_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-66bb72ff1bd9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another high upside big, Bronston shows impressive movement skills and natural athleticism for a player his size and age. Not many guys can switch and protect the rim like Bronston can in the 2027 class and he got some experience playing up at the 17 U level this summer going against older and more physically mature post players. Bronston got action at the varsity level, appearing at eight games as a freshman, expect Bronston to see a major increase in his role this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
