McCasland remains efficient as a prolific shot-maker, sinking deep jumpers with confidence, even under heavy contests, off-balance, or with his feet not fully set. His consistent ability to make such shots reflects his natural shooting talent and unwavering confidence, making him one of the most exciting sharpshooters to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232441"],"_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-671f42d9ed2b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1232441' first='Lonndon' last='Beal'] is a hardworking sharpshooter with the potential to become one of the state's standout prospects. His three-point prowess shines most off the dribble, where he creates space with skillful combinations of crossovers, between-the-legs, and behind-the-back moves, often finishing with a smooth step-back for balance and a clear shot. This unique approach to shot creation allows him to consistently find clean looks from beyond the arc, highlighting both his confidence and technical skill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2472127"],"_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-671f42d9ed2f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2472127' first='Max' last='Hinds'] was Liberty Christian's top three-point specialist, leading the team in three-pointers made and demonstrating his reliability from beyond the arc. With a fast, efficient release, Hinds minimizes defenders' opportunities to contest his shot, making his quick trigger a vital asset. His ability to square up to the basket and shoot immediately after catching the ball has become a signature skill, allowing him to be a consistent scoring threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1359759"],"_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-671f42d9ed330"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1359759' first='Connor' last='Yocom'] has established himself as one of DFW's premier three-point shooters since his freshman year. Now preparing for his final season, he's hitting threes with even greater accuracy in the preseason. Yocom's range is so extensive that defenders are forced to pick him up as soon as he crosses halfcourt, stretching defenses to their limits. His skill in creating open looks from behind the arc, with or without screens, highlights his exceptional endurance, precise footwork, and smooth transition from catching to shooting, making him a consistent perimeter threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2412729"],"_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-671f42d9ed36e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2412729' first='Juan' last='Barrientos'] delivered an impressive season, hitting 95 three-pointers at a 41% clip, leading his team in both makes and shooting efficiency. His range stretches to professional distances, and even with defenders close, his form and mechanics remain steady, reflecting his consistency and confidence. Barrientos also stands out on the defensive end, where he frequently disrupts passing lanes and applies disciplined, on-ball pressure to force difficult shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
