2027 Rankings: New Names with Size

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This new group of players with some intriguing size is comprised of established prospects and some up-and-comers worthy of some looks. Keep an eye on this group as the season gets underway.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2626155"],"_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-6719b1af56c41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yarbrough is a big guard/wing who plays a big role for Elite Prep. He has the handle and vision to create from the perimeter and can spur a lot of action for his squad. He's really dangerous getting some momentum going downhill and has the strength/athleticism to finish through contact and above the rim. He's shown a great combo of skill and strength that allows him to maneuver around and bully through defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2400280"],"_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-6719b1af56ca5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finau comes over to Bothell from Utah and gives the Cougars a versatile presence with some size who can operate from different spots. He has the quickness to beat bigger players with a good first step and can exploit defenders who sag off with a pretty smooth midrange shot. He's also a guy who is going to go after shots on the defensive end and should play a big role for Bothell this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2624933"],"_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-6719b1af56ce5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larson should get some run this year with Kennewick and has shown some promising ability to finish inside on either side of the hoop. He's still fairly raw but has enough athleticism and coordination to be a factor around the rim with follows and moving to space, playing off of his guard's drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2625762"],"_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-6719b1af56d23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hicks is a big kid already and shows some pretty promising passing ability for a kid his size, kicking out of pressure on the blocks and even showing some good vision further away from the basket. He has decent mobility and moves to good spots off the ball but will need to sure up his hands to capitalize on space around the paint. He's another big that is still pretty raw but shows some potential and could be a deeper name to track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2626177"],"_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-6719b1af56d60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I haven't seen a lot of Chambers but he is a 6-foot-6 wing who will get some opportunities on an Eastside Catholic team that only returns six players from last year's varsity team. He's a name to stash who could offer some defensive length on the perimeter and potentially stretch the floor for the Crusaders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2626178"],"_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-6719b1af56d96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heide is another kid I haven't seen a ton of but he has the size and the name pedigree to warrant a look. He also will be part of a Mount Si team that lost four key guys off of last year's squad, and he could carve out a role in their frontcourt. He's already a strong rebounder, shows good agility for a big to work around boxouts and fight on the glass, and can be a solid rim defender. He's a guy I wouldn't expect to be on the watch list for long as we get to see more of him during the upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
