2028 Review: Perimeter Sharpshooters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Capable of scoring in droves, these guards and wings have carved out a niche with their sharpshooting from distance. These names could earn opportunities at the varsity level, given their defensive instincts to compete on both ends. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528305"],"_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-670455b37b4a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nicholson's wide reach makes him an intriguing defensive weapon early on, adept at rotating all over the floor for shot contests. That same lanky frame gives him a high release point of jump shots, already showing signs to be a valuable floor spacer off the catch. Nicholson's willingness as a spot-up shooter brings plenty of offensive upside to the table. There are not many names in the class with his length and gravity from distance.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2542492"],"_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-670455b37b4fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tshibanda repeatedly found success while attacking the rim, at his best while operating against a rotating defense. His quick acceleration and wide reach propelled him towards numerous layups and drawn fouls around the rim. Tshibanda brings value as one of the better point of attack defenders within the class, effectively walling off the lane more often than not.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2395343"],"_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-670455b37b53e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A good athlete who has plenty of scoring upside from distance, Lemieux will be a name to follow coming up at East. Already showing the ability to throw down dunks once the lane opens, the guard can elevate a bit more than most incoming freshman. From recent showcase events, the guard has been able to heat up from distance, either off the catch or while stepping into the shot. Appearing ready for the varsity level, the guard looks to be primed for a productive season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421026"],"_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-670455b37b576"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rich showed that he can heat up in an instant, contributing numerous threes if opponents fail to keep the ball out of his hands. Adept at relocating quickly to set himself up against the incoming contest. An especially willing slasher without the ball, Rich works hard to find openings within the halfcourt. While around the rim, the guard gets great elevation, leveling the playing field while going at contests. Certainly a backcourt athlete worth following at Eagle Ridge, bringing upside as an efficient complementary shotmaker.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398730"],"_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-670455b37b5ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McMonigle has good size at this stage, capable scoring over oppoinetns off the catch. His size and confidence along the wing give him plenty of upside to space the floor. Most active following a kick out or popping a ball screen, the guard looks to get his looks in tight spaces. What sets apart McMonigle from many floor spacers in this class is the notable length, already capable of holding his own versus forwards and bigger guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2542563"],"_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-670455b37b5e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hakeem has bounce and defensive intangibles that should grant him opportunities early on in his career. A high impact off-ball scoring option, he can space the floor or get up for a lob depending on the circumstances. The guard's high motor makes him a productive presence, flying around on help side contests or scrapping for loose balls. Hakeem shows upside as a highly productive off-ball guard, holding his own on both ends of the floor. No doubt that when the guard gets a crack at varsity minutes, he will carve out a niche to bolster the team on the margins.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
