<p class="text-gray-700">Noah utilizes his minutes well on the floor playing with the starting or bench unit. He is a slithery guard that gets to the cup from the perimeter in a flash. I am always impressed with Sulaiman's effort and defensive skill. He compliments the Boys' Latin guard knit well with his decision-making and defensive prowess. He has secured valuable minutes on a rolling Laker team that has caught a lot of attention this season. Noah continues to be a reliable guard that can score and maneuver through the defense and make plays on both ends. Played very well on the team's championship run at the Gov Challenge late December. Noah is a quickly-developing PG that has nothing but time to continue to improve.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Reggie has a true knack for scoring the ball. He can put tin a variety of ways. Knockdown shooter if left with space beyond the arc. Gets to the basket with a smooth tight handle and can finish strong. Leads the offense with command at the 1 and plays an efficient style of basketball. His offensive tenacity is something that can transcend to the next level if he can find consistent time within the tough St. Frances guard unit. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jordan may have one of the higher upsides out of the 2028 class of guards. Leading scorer on the team putting up 19 a game in his first HS season. Electrifying scorer from all 3 levels on the floor, and heats up in a hurry. Jordan creates for himself well off the dribble and in isolation, capable of stepping back or pulling up, and will beat his defender to the lane for a layup at the rim. Caught the attention of our scout team over the summer and has continued to put up strong numbers through the season. [player_tooltip player_id='2705135' first='Jordan' last='Fox'] is a name to know and keep tabs on out at Avalon School.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Malachi is a force inside the paint and inhabits some nice skill on the ball. His impact in the paint defensively is huge for Coolidge when he's in the game. He can contest well without fouling and takes pride in allowing paint scores. Malachi has had a few games over 10 points already in his young Coolidge career and plays with more and more confidence each time out. I am excited to see how the young big develops his game over time, as he has some nice natural skill that can't be taught at his size. Earned himself a spot in the rankings this go round and will be sure to expand on that as he continues to show his impact as a reliable 2-way big.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Semaj is a solid 3&D option for SMCA off the bench in his first season on varsity. He's had a few big games for the Mustangs this season and should only ramp up his momentum in the years to come. He can be relied upon to provide consistent 3pt shooting and max effort. Semaj is active on the glass and defensively. Can create some plays off the dribble and makes some good reads. Will be interesting to see more of him as his role increases.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Has a true natural feel for the game and is a leader for a young Avalon roster. Luke's approach and execution usually match when he's on the court. His defense is always solid on the ball and he is a real factor off-ball when he's on the perimeter due to the way he reads the passing lanes. Luke can shoot the 3-ball consistently and will pull off the dribble if he feels the defender sleeping. Sturdy frame that helps him absorb contact on his drives and he doesn't force his attacks to the rim. Reads the defense as a point guard and picks his spots to score while facilitating the rock. 2-way player who is putting together a very solid freshmen season against some respectable opponents.</p>
