Competing with 1FamilyHoops, he's used his time to sharpen both his physical and mental aspects of the game, emerging as a skilled playmaker who brings vision, poise, and dynamic ball-handling to the court. His ability to run the offense and create opportunities makes him an exciting floor general, and he's shown he can control the tempo, setting up his teammates while also making strong scoring moves of his own.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2294508"],"_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-671d7ec82bb4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young guard has already shown impressive ball-handling skills and a smooth jump shot, making him a name to follow as he looks to spark his recruitment early. LaGrone's shot-creating talent is evident, with the agility to beat defenders off the dribble or pull up smoothly for mid-range jumpers. His three-level scoring ability makes him a constant threat, but it's his consistency from deep that stands out—he can knock down threes with impressive accuracy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2397083"],"_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-671d7ec82bb8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ahlers is shaping up to be a must-watch 2027 prospect as he heads into a potential breakout sophomore year. Standing at 6'4”, he brings a blend of size, athleticism, and offensive firepower that has only grown through his solid off-season work. Ahlers, a 6-4 guard, continues to impress with his aggressive drives to the rim. Last season, he averaged 13.1 points per game and possesses the athleticism and upside to make an impact. Beyond his scoring, Ahlers can use his size to rebound effectively, make sharp defensive plays, and even cover multiple positions, which is an asset as he continues to refine his skills.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2397099"],"_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-671d7ec82bbc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A talented freshman, Sarante recently put up 36 points in a win, showcasing his fluid three-point shot and scoring ability off the dribble. He's a bucket-getter with real potential. His three-point range is already impressive, and he's shown the poise and confidence to find his spots and deliver under pressure. Sarante is a true bucket-getter, blending skill and natural scoring instincts, and he's just beginning to scratch the surface.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
