Up and Coming 2026 Prospects: Granite Peak League

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These junior guards and wings have had newfound success for their programs, all of which are competitive teams in their own right. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2082743"],"_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-6782d0c0466a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owen has gotten more comfortable over his past four games, putting up double digits in each matchup alongside a 27 point performance against a very competitive Silver Creek program. Bringing good length and quickness at 6'3, his downhill scoring aggression and the budding three point jumper have allowed him to succeed within Erie's offensive flow. Arguably his best attribute is the willingness to draw fouls, excellent at leveraging his defender's positioning against them for numerous free throws. Owen's defensive value has taken ticks up too, more comfortable holding his own at the point of attack versus both backcourt positions. Certainly an x-factor for that program, his continued progression will be worth following, although his stock is rising of late. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2415263"],"_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-6782d0c046707"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although starting the season a little later than usual with Frederick, he has leapt into the start of the season with immense confidence to score the ball. Dependable at contributing jumpers off the catch or to read the defense to attack the closeout, the scoring guard is already among the most dependable offensive options for that team of late. Part of his impact has come from the off-ball activity, willing to relocate whenever possible once his defenders take their eyes off of him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478528"],"_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-6782d0c04674d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lombrano has been excellent for Longmont to start the season, leading them in points (11.3), assists (2.6), and three point percentage (41%). A well rounded guard who is quickly solidifying himself as a key name not only in that program, but within the Granite Peaks League, the guard has found success impacting the game in many areas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2693495"],"_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-6782d0c04678f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although Silver Creek is among the most well balanced offensive rosters in the state, with six names posting between 11 and 5 points per game, [player_tooltip player_id='2693495' first='Blake' last='Gorr'] has taken on the key role on both ends for them. Leading this group in points (10.4), assists (2.5), and steals (2.5) per game, he has found his niche through superb decisionmaking on either end of the floor. Bringing quick processing speeds to recognize openings in the lane, he does a great job pressuring the rim to draw two for the next play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478490"],"_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-6782d0c0467d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis has added a different style of play to Fairview's offense, providing consistent downhill scoring opportunities for that group time and time again. Bringing a quick first step and willingness to draw contact, his impact has played a significant role in creating great looks for shooters or cutters. Second in that group for assists per game at 3.1 per game, his decision making paired with the backcourt size has made him a unique downhill playmaker worth following at the 6A level. Defensively, he continues to leverage the frame to compete at the point of attack, capable of guarding wings and forwards due to his low center of gravity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2725422"],"_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-6782d0c046811"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Falzone continues to shoot the rock at an especially efficient clip at 48%, which makes him a must follow name given his size advantages at 6'4. Few forwards in this class possess this efficiency from deep, as one of the most effective floor spacers at this stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
