<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The holiday season is filled with great traditions for many. Waking up to presents under the tree is definitely one of those. There are some talented basketball players that would make great gifts under the tree for a coach at the next level. We're going to take a look at some sophomores that would be exciting "presents under the tree" for college programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can read "Presents Under The Tree - Juniors" below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2024/12/presents-under-the-tree-juniors/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2024/12/presents-under-the-tree-juniors/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2378345"],"_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-676ac231b0c53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reynolds is a star on the rise and part of an incredibly talented young East Kentwood roster. Reynolds has some explosion off the ground and can finish above the rim with 1 hand. I like the way he handles the ball. He moves it quick and with control and keeps his bounce low and protected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140466"],"_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-676ac231b0d39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've always really liked what Walters brings to the table and I think he could end up a great addition to a program at the next level. He can flat out shoot the ball nd is especially dangerous off the catch. Walters has a quick first step when attacking straight line to his right and he's a solid finisher on that side as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2446088"],"_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-676ac231b0df3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hunter is a VERY intriguing prospect that could pay huge dividends at the next level. His frame isn't an every day occurrence and as he adds muscle, his game can and should continue to take off. Right now, Hunter seems to be on a very solid growth of game trajectory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2434102"],"_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-676ac231b0ead"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a player that coaches will want to have on their radar. You can't teach size and strength, and he has both of those. Williams is comfortable as a post presence and is willing to do his work on the block and under the rim. I've come away impressed with his ability to defend the paint. Williams uses his strength to gain defensive position and makes post entry passes very difficult.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2442131"],"_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-676ac231b0f62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nemmers is a post player that could be a great addition at the next level someday. There's a lot to like and a lot of upside to his game. Nemmers is probably an underrated overall athlete that seems to move well for his height and age. He's not afraid to use his size defensively and this allows him to play physical defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The holiday season is filled with great traditions for many. Waking up to presents under the tree is definitely one of those. There are some talented basketball players that would make great gifts under the tree for a coach at the next level. We're going to take a look at some sophomores that would be exciting "presents under the tree" for college programs.
