<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These prospects are catching eyes in their respective classes. With the new season ahead of us we will see them explore and expand their roles as they look to carry their squads to some big wins in the early goings and down the stretch of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cash Lindsey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cash is an effective player who contributes to the offense with high quality shots. He has a solid handle on the ball and he's unselfish always looking for the extra pass or the drop off pass when driving the lane. He is an extremely efficient shooter from the free throw stripe, a place he knows how to earn a trip to by playing through physicality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1437332' first='Kolby' last='Bell']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell is a pass-first guard who has great court vision coupled with some solid finishing skills. He penetrates defense looking to draw extra defenders in order to find the swing man. He gives value on the defensive side of the ball as well with his effort in staying in front of ball handlers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2382017' first='Eli' last='Craig']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Craig is a solid inside-out scorer and a multi-position defender. He plays best on the wing because of his catch and shoot effectiveness, but that does not mean he can't control the ball himself, he will take a rebound and push the break solo for points at the other end while dribbling through active hands and scoring around defenders inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2382018' first='Kyler' last='Sharp']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sharp is an athletic wing that plays with poise and pace. He understands the spacing on offense with or without the ball and scores well shooting the ball using an accurate shot. He is not afraid to box out and rebound with bigger bodies nor to guard them inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2473795' first='Kennon' last='Johnson']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is a versatile guard/forward prospect. He has three-level scoring abilities and a long wingspan that helps him on defense. He plays with active hands, on or off ball, looking to force the ball out of opponents hands or for deflections in the passing lanes. He can score from deep, but also has a touch and some moves in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

These prospects are catching eyes in their respective classes. With the new season ahead of us we will see them explore and expand their roles as they look to carry their squads to some big wins in the early goings and down the stretch of the season.
