He has a powerful base that can get even stronger and could be a big asset for him. Balyeat is also a solid shooter off the catch. He gets the ball in rhythm and connects with a smooth motion. Balyeat is a player that could make a lot of noise in the next couple of years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2539867"],"_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-6710fec8eb4de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emeott drew some eyes at the Sophomore ID Camp and is a player to monitor as the season approaches. He's an athletic guard that can score from multiple levels. Emeott can do work off the bounce, both creating space for his jumper and attacking the rim with his right. He has shown the ability to finish in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2535764"],"_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-6710fec8eb548"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gillich showed out at the Sophomore ID Camp and is a player that scouts are now well aware of. He has an intriguingly well rounded offensive game. Gillich can shoot from deep and doesn't need a lot of time or space to get it off cleanly. He has some nice handles to go with it, including a pretty nasty little left to right crossover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2401958"],"_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-6710fec8eb5a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rowley is definitely a player that scouts and coaches should have on their radar. Rowley does a nice job finding space on the perimeter and staying pass ready waiting for the kick out. He's a talented wing that opponents have to account for on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2458816"],"_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-6710fec8eb604"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sliwinski is a player that scouts and coaches shouldn't let slide under the radar. He's an effective and patient scorer under or near the rim. Sliwinski is willing to use the shot fake and can finish through contact. He has a solid frame and size and holds a ton of upside to his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There were a lot of players with next level skills and potential added to the 2027 Watch List on the rankings update. We're going to give you a closer look at 5 players to watch that can be found on the watch list.
