<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These athletes displayed notable upside last season while reaffirming their skills throughout the summer, set for increased opportunity at the helm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1997834"],"_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-672f91dcde86f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Already possessing an important role back at Palmer Ridge, Boyer looks prepped for his most efficient season yet. Finishing off the month of July at 54% from distance, he was about as dependable as anyone from distance. That shooting consistency was not just off the catch but additionally through his off the dribble shotmaking, more comfortable stepping into mid-range attempts against a tight contest. The court awareness has made strides, allowing the guard to take advantage of tighter angles in the halfcourt. Defensively, the guard continues to get stronger and more assertive creating turnovers, primed for a big season at PR. At 12.5 points per game last season, the guard is already in great shape. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1991211"],"_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-672f91dcde8fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hovis will be primed for another high usage season with Forge Christian, bringing efficient shotmaking from all three levels. A dynamic scorer who draws immediate pressure upon catching the ball. Opponents had trouble slowing down the guard due to his endless options while handling the rock, bringing a counter for just about anything the defense threw at him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2460048"],"_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-672f91dcde969"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Following quite a few prior departures from Rivderdale Ridge, Nieto is set for a dramatically expanded role. Bringing a strong frame with the low center of gravity to move around opposing guards while on the attack, Riverdale will go about as far as Nieto takes them. Still a capable shooter off the catch or from the pull-up,Nieto brings the skillset necessary to take on a large offensive role within this program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1848548"],"_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-672f91dcde9d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Few guards shoot it to Hamma's degree, among the leaders in made threes from last season at DSST Montview. Possessing a quick jumper that may be leveraged from movement if needed, the guard is set to lead a winning program yet again. Equally capable as a downhill scorer who gets into his opponents hips to put opponents in tough situations and draw fouls. As he continues to add weight, the guard's ability to manipulate the game on both ends will follow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1637680"],"_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-672f91dcdea43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avdic will step into an even larger role at Bear Creek, bringing a high motor and efficient shotmaking from distance. The guard is about as high impact of a player with his minutes as anyone, constantly on the prowl for second chance opportunities. Bringing a quality handle to take on opponents one on one, the guard has no trouble getting physical one on one. Following 9 points per game averages last season with some key names departing, Avdic will have a newfound role within Bear Creek's context. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1577234"],"_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-672f91dcdeaad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Washington has found success inside the arc, at his best while attacking the rim. A gritty two-way guard who embraces contact on either end of the floor, he has carved out a serviceable niche with Fountain-Fort Carson. With the ball on string alongside a quick first step to take advantage of lackluster defense, opposing defenses will have to play conservatively one on one. Defensively, the guard takes away space early, forcing his opponent into chaotic circumstances from the jump. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
