2025 Prospects on the Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These names step into a much larger opportunity than past seasons, set for success in their final season at the high school level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1816669"],"_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-6721138ac1b85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Given a couple former graduates and unfortunate injuries to the Palmer roster, Mike will likely have a significant offensive role for this program. At his best while attacking downhill, opponents have trouble staying in front of the guard, given his quick first step. Steadily refining the handle and jump shot through the past few months, Mike has worked to round out his perimeter game. The guard put up 12.4 points and 2.3 assists per game this past season at Palmer high school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1478271"],"_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-6721138ac1c1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McMonigle brings the height and shooting abilities that could propel Arapahoe towards a competitive season. At roughly 6'4, the shooting guard posted 8.9 points at 32% behind the arc. His efficiency taking a step up will be important, particularly given the larger role he is likely to possess this season. Improving his handle throughout the club season, the guard has rounded out his offensive game, getting more comfortable creating opportunities at the rim. Also adding a mid-range game to his arsenal, McMonigle has all the tools to succeed with the growing opportunity as a 6'5 guard.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175398"],"_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-6721138ac1c79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas showed flashes of self-creation scoring abilities at recent showcase events, both from distance or inside the arc. Capable spacing the floor off the catch, his high release point allows him to score above incoming contests with ease. As well as getting more willing to attack downhill off the catch, Thomas is working to take on a larger scoring load this season at Grandview. Defensively, the wing has had success for a while now, although his added strength has made him even more versatile against multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1991210"],"_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-6721138ac1cd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baack's perimeter shooting at roughly 6'6 makes him a valuable option over Cherokee Trail, as one of the better shooters at his size in the class. Increasingly comfortable to step into shots off the bounce, he has worked to round out his game on all three levels. The guard put up 8.2 points on 38% from behind the arc last season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369820"],"_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-6721138ac1d56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sparks has progressed as a three point shooter, all while boasting notable size and defensive instincts. Following averages of 10.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game, the forward already brought exceptional interior defense within the 6A Continental League. His point totals look to improve, making the face-up game a legitimate component to options in the halfcourt. Already possessing solid footwork down low, he shows all the signs of taking that next step for Legend.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1371835"],"_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-6721138ac1daf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Looking for a bounce back season, Brown will have a significant opportunity ahead of him for the Highlands Ranch program. The high motor forward will be especially active on the glass, bringing quickness and a strong frame to deal with the majority of forwards in the state. His size on the defensive end will be essential for taking on the bigger playmakers in the state, although he held his own throughout his opportunities at Section 7.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
