<p class="text-gray-700">We have to give it to Flowers, he has taken on a larger role and done so in stride, with efficient shotmaking from all three levels. Adding strength while maintaining consistency in the jump shot, he has taken on the primary role, Legend goes as far as Flowers can will them this season after posting 19.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Matchem is a spark off the bench, making strides within Mountain Vista's lineups throughout January. Clearly one of the better inside the arc shotmakers and free throw creators within that 2027 class, the guard has shown value off the initial drive as needed. Up to 6.2 points per game on 70% inside the arc, his stock is rising while posting 10+ points in three of his last five games. The immediate creation out of his first step alone makes him a dangerous downhill scoring option, set to keep progressing as a decisionmaker through the season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lane has been a success story with Highlands Ranch, bringing a smooth handle and shotmaking abilities to elevate his game as needed. Taking on more and more scoring opportunities of late, this group is relying upon the sophomore guard heavily, an early sign that he is set to be one of the better up and coming perimeter playmakers in this class at 12.4 points per game for the 7-7 team. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brown's sharpshooting from distance has been imperative for Chaparral's wealth of perimeter playmakers and opportunities to score off the ball. Remaining a versatile defensive option thanks to his positional size and relentless motor, he fits in like a glove into this formidable group within the 6A context. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Valentine is a pivotal name within Rock Canyon's rotations, a physical forward who has a knack for grabbing rebounds. His effectiveness in the paint both as a rebounder and timely help defender are imperative towards maintaining consistency in the paint, particularly against the variety of physical frontcourt opponents within this Continental League. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Walkowiak continues to provide steady offense with this group, a knockdown shooter who has the clutch gene in him. Comfortable hitting key shots after a drought, his short in-game memory makes him a threatening perimeter shot taker at this stage. Not to mention his above average strength as a freshman allows him to compete at the point of attack or on the glass, certainly a name to follow to creep up in minutes played. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">When Hawkins is on, there is little opposing defenses can do, given his range and ability to quickly plant his feet ror jumpers. Bringing great strength as a backcourt athlete, the shooting guard knows his role and can bring you back into games when needed. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Baldwin's two-way impact remains a bright spot for Douglas County, particularly how he has maximized his athletic tools on either end. Particularly as an above the rim athlete, whether swatting away shots or throwing down dunks, he is always an exciting name to follow. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nuss continues to give this group all he has, albeit within a rebuild season he has remained a bright spot as a dependable perimeter shooter. His consistency will be crucial as they step into league play, which is no easy feat against the wealth of talent in their matchups. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Graham's facilitating has been helpful in setting up shotmakers, looking to set up scorers in their comfort zone. Among the more efficient scorers for this Castle View group, he has firmly been their second best offensive contributor, relied upon heavily within the half court. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gilloth has proven himself as an efficient paint scorer who already processes the game very quickly, if needed to make a passing read. Bringing the size and strength to back down backcourt opponents as needed, he is being relied upon more and more as the season goes by with Heritage.</p>
