<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watch out for these freshmen who are bursting onto the varsity scene, eager to shine with their fresh skills and energy!

He can score inside and out, whether catching in the post looking to attack or he can get it on the perimeter and finesse his way to his spots for quality shots. He has great anticipation for timing rebounds and the strength to fight through contact to score putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382039"],"_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-670ea1b6c5938"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Connor is a solid wing player with his size and mobility. He is a jack of all trades that can shoot outside just as well as under the rim and defend from wing to paint on multiple positions. He rebounds as well as he passes and has the strength and vision to get the fast break started with solid outlet passing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2460604"],"_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-670ea1b6c59b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooper is a sharpshooter who can get his own shot off the dribble but is super accurate when getting open catch-and-shoot looks from beyond the arc. He can put the ball on the floor and get to his spots inside or find a solid pass to make under pressure. He is a decent rebounding guard who will get inside with the bigs to look for boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2406836"],"_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-670ea1b6c5a24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucas is a solid center/forward who understands his role and plays it effectively. He will boxout and crash the glass, as well as stop opponents from attacking the paint. He is a hustle player that fights for extra possessions inside. He has a nice touch on shots inside near the rim, where he can rebound and put back with good timing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450805"],"_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-670ea1b6c5a90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Luke is a solid combo guard who can handle the ball, shoot effectively, and distribute to teammates. He has sharp court vision to find teammates in traffic and find angles to help them receive the ball. He can make shots consistently from all over the court and he can get his own shot off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Watch out for these freshmen who are bursting onto the varsity scene, eager to shine with their fresh skills and energy! They're geared up and ready to make their mark, bringing a new wave of excitement to the upcoming season.
