<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've got some new forwards in the 2026 rankings, including [player_tooltip player_id='2418885' first='Devan' last='Christion'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2249644' first='Ziare' last='Smith']. Both guys were previously in Arizona, but made the move to Las Vegas this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2640816"],"_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-6758a130c2ed9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Omar is an incredible athlete who should only continue to improve as he gets more experience against elite competition. Despite his height, he is a forward that runs the floor very well and collects a ton of rebounds. He also has some shot blocking ability and very few guys try to drive against him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2418885"],"_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-6758a130c2f6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christion was previously in Arizona, but is now at Clark High School. The junior stands at 6'8 and comes up with blocks consistently. He is a force on offense as well, and can make post moves to get lay-ups or dunks. Christion also does a great job of using his wingspan to get second chance points for his team when he grabs offensive rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2249644"],"_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-6758a130c2fd3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2249644' first='Ziare' last='Smith'] joins the rankings and is in the #40 position. His top skills are blocking shots and rebounding. The junior can also throw down some nasty dunks that can shift the momentum for his team. The biggest thing he'll need to work on going forward is getting to his spots and his footwork in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2461217"],"_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-6758a130c301a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At the moment I have [player_tooltip player_id='2461217' first='King' last='Raleigh'] at #74. Raleigh is a very long small-forward who can really fill it up on the offensive end when he gets going. He is capable of knocking down both 3's and pull-up 2's. On defense, he can deflect passes and disrupts shots. I'm looking forward to seeing how he impacts Boulder City's team this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2468399"],"_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-6758a130c305f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2468399' first='Donovan' last='Smith'] caught my eye when I was at the Las Vegas High School practice a few weeks ago. He displayed some decent shooting and his athleticism was also evident. If he can perform well in his role for the Wildcats this season, he may be another guy that warrants a higher ranking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
