He makes his debut as the highest-ranked newcomer. I saw him early this season, and he played at a level his peers were not on. He is a two-way talent with robust scoring prowess, and he can impact the game just as much on the defensive end of the floor with his athleticism. He has a high motor and competes every second he is on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2638408,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Anderius-Deshaun-Olds-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Anderius-Deshaun-Olds-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2638408" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Anderius Deshaun Olds</strong> (6'0/CG/'26/Pelham)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: smb.andy_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranked: #22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Anderius makes his debut in the rankings as he has jumped out to a hot start early this season. He has shown his giftedness as a scorer and is really producing on the offensive end of the floor. He can easily get by his defender with his quickness, and once he is in the paint, the defense is at his mercy. He is a playmaking guard who excels with the ball in his hands and makes others around him better.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2638420,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Rayshon-Lambert-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Rayshon-Lambert-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2638420" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2639375' first='Rayshon' last='Lambert']</strong> (6'4/CG/'26/Shades Valley)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: li.r3y</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @raygetbuckets3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranked: #35</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Rayshon is an athletic wing who has a two-way impact when he is out on the floor. He is a high riser who scores with craftiness when he gets in the paint and near the rim. He does a really good job putting the ball on the floor and scoring inside the arc. Defensively, his athleticism helps him to challenge and block shots at the rim.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2639620,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Cade-Allbright-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Cade-Allbright-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2639620" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2639346' first='Cade' last='Allbright']</strong> (6'4/C/'26/Holly Pond) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @AllbrightC8585</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranked: #36</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cade is a two-way athlete and a monster on the gridiron. He proved to me early this season that he is also a monster on the court despite being hampered by an injury. He is a dominant force in the paint, despite being only 6'4, as he carves out his territory on offense and clogs up space on defense. He has a knack for scoring and his team is going to ride his back as far as he can take them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2639621,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Kendon-Curtis-Sherrer-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Kendon-Curtis-Sherrer-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2639621" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kendon Curtis Sherrer</strong> (5'10/SG/2026/Horseshoe Bend HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: kendonsherrer4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @KendonSherrer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranked: #47</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kendon is one of the best trey ball shooters in this class. He is really good with his c&amp;s opportunities. He still has a lot of work to do with other aspects of his game, but when it comes down to shooting it from distance, he can hold his own with anyone in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"KJ Lee","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hazel Green","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673e256292d49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">IG: kjlee07</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @kjlee2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranked: #55</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">KJ is a tough, hard-nosed combo guard who can play on and off the ball. He has a really good IQ, so when he is at the lead guard position, he does a good job orchestrating and getting his teammates involved. He has the ability to score the rock, but the ability to be reliable and trustworthy on or off the ball is one of his greatest attributes to his squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2611122,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Colton-Willmore-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Colton-Willmore-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2611122" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2639555' first='Colton' last='Willmore'] </strong>(6'2/G/2026/Northside) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: colton_willmore4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranked: #63</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Colton is a two-way talent who goes about his business on the court without drawing a lot of attention to himself. When you look around, you will see his handprint across the entire stat sheet. He is a solid backcourt talent who will compete night in and night out, produce from all levels on offense, and be disruptive throughout the game on defense.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
