<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the top high school basketball prospects, highlighting their standout skills, potential, and what makes them players to watch in the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2228083"],"_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-6798632108f6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lane is a player who can rebound and start the break. In transition, he shows off his athleticism, finishing above the rim with ease. He can score from anywhere on the floor, whether it's attacking the rim, hitting mid-range shots, or draining spot up and off the dribble threes. His defensive instincts and timing allow him to effectively block shots. He's an underrated passer in the halfcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021891"],"_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-6798632108fdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Young is a dynamic player with a ton of untapped potential. His ability to rebound and play the middle of the paint/lane as a guard is impressive. He often shows his consistent ability to get to the rim and use his touch 15 feet and in. His agility and ball-handling stand out, while his off-ball positioning also adds to his effectiveness. Defensively, he uses his quickness and for the most part, can guard any spot on the floor.<br><br><br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2736561"],"_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-6798632109024"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noah approaches the game defensively creating problems for opponents while maintaining control and position. Offensively, he's a scorer, using smart footwork and fundamentals to finish around the rim. He brings nonstop energy every game with his physicality. He's a decent rebounder and a reliable shooter when not attacking the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021824"],"_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-679863210906a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cy is a reliable spot-up option, he's a threat from the inside and out. In the post, his solid footwork keeps him effective, even when tightly guarded. As a slasher, he uses power moves to finish strong in the paint. He uses his size and strength defensively and he switches well on defense using his agility. He's a relentless player that hustles on both ends and he's an extremely underrated facilitator who can pass from the middle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2422333"],"_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-67986321090cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cal Jr. is the only freshman on the list, and it's easy to see why. He's already a top-tier ball handler with a high basketball IQ. A true point guard, he has a knack for reading the game, anticipating plays, and creating angles to keep defenses off balance. He can score efficiently at all three levels and does a great job of picking his spots, showcasing both a strong shot IQ and unselfish playmaking. What stands out the most is his upside—his instincts and ability are already impressive, and once he adds more size, he's going to be even tougher to handle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the top high school basketball prospects, highlighting their standout skills, potential, and what makes them players to watch in the coming years.
