<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These big men are the true masters of the paint, each dominating in their own way with an unrelenting presence. From Ethan, the towering 7-footer who controls the post and protects the rim with authority, to Jamarkus, whose relentless rebounding and help-side shot-blocking disrupt any offensive flow, they all impose their will inside. Parker, a 6'8 lefty, keeps defenses on edge with his unique combination of size and skill, mixing powerful post moves with the finesse of a perimeter player. Meanwhile, Amalachi, a relentless rim runner, uses his speed and athleticism to finish around the basket, making him a constant threat in transition. Together, these players own the paint, making it their domain and ensuring that anyone who ventures inside faces a difficult challenge.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209778"],"_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-6757d4de00bdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ethan is a towering 7-foot center who dominates the paint with his imposing presence and skillful play. His size and strength make him a formidable force on both ends of the court, whether he's swatting away shots with ease on defense or overpowering opponents in the low post on offense. Ethan's footwork and touch around the rim are exceptional, allowing him to finish with authority or finesse. He commands respect in the rebounding battle, often securing second-chance points for his team. With his ability to control the game inside, Ethan is the anchor every team dreams of having.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588339"],"_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-6757d4de00c3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amalachi is a relentless center for Heights who excels at rim-running with unmatched energy and determination. His speed and hustle in transition make him a constant threat, often beating defenders down the floor for easy buckets. Amalachi's ability to finish strong at the rim, paired with his explosive athleticism, keeps defenses on high alert. On top of his offensive presence, his effort in getting back on defense adds another layer of value to his game. With his tireless motor and commitment to dominating in transition, Amalachi is the heartbeat of Heights' up-tempo style of play.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588350"],"_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-6757d4de00c81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parker is a versatile 6'8 big for Southeast who uses his left-handed playstyle to keep defenses guessing. His unique ability to attack from multiple angles, combined with his size and agility, makes him a tough matchup in the post and on the perimeter. Parker has a smooth touch with his left hand, whether finishing around the rim or stepping out to knock down mid-range shots. His basketball IQ and footwork allow him to exploit mismatches, while his defensive awareness ensures he's a factor on the other end of the court. Parker's combination of size, skill, and creativity makes him a key weapon for Southeast.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2431254"],"_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-6757d4de00cc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jamarkus is a powerful big man known for his relentless rebounding and shot-blocking ability. He has a natural instinct for crashing the boards, consistently securing both offensive and defensive rebounds with tenacity. His presence in the paint is felt not only through his rebounding but also his exceptional timing on help-side blocks, where he serves as a shot deterrent, altering or rejecting attempts at the rim. Jamarkus' defensive awareness allows him to protect the basket while maintaining a dominant role on the glass, making him a key contributor to his team's success on both ends of the floor.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2197853"],"_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-6757d4de00d12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2197853' first='Noah' last='Hill'] is an elite player around the rim, showcasing a remarkable ability to finish through contact and score efficiently in the paint. His strong frame and excellent footwork allow him to maneuver past defenders, while his soft touch makes him a consistent threat on layups, dunks, and put-backs. Whether it's in transition or in half-court sets, Noah excels at creating opportunities for himself near the basket, often converting difficult shots with ease. His poise and athleticism around the rim make him one of the most dangerous finishers in the game, and he consistently demands attention from opposing defenses.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
