He's a highly underrecruited guard who knows how to finish tough around the rim given his athleticism. He does well running the floor in transition for easy scores in the paint and continues to develop his game as a perimeter threat and playmaker. He's been an impressive piece in the QEA Regional rotation with his ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2303320"],"_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-67aa4111d00b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Edgerton has emerged a new leader in the 2027 rankings at Crossroads Christian as they head into the NCISAA State Playoffs. He's leading the way with 17.5 points per game on 54 percent shooting from the floor and does well to take what the defense gives him for easy scores. He's also shown he can do other things and keep teammates involved with 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He'll be an intriguing target to keep an eye on this grassroots cycle as he develops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2232905"],"_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-67aa4111d0127"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson is a guard with sneaky bounce which he utilizes to finish around the rim but that's not all he can do at 6-foot. He's shown he can rebound and defend as well as he kicks off the NCISAA Playoffs averaging 12.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He's faced some quality competition this season which should help elevate his game in the playoffs when they kick off on Tuesday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2144767"],"_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-67aa4111d0198"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vaughn has a big learning curve to adjust to this varsity season given the senior guards ahead of him but it should do him a ton of good as he continues to develop at Weddington. He's a high-IQ combo guard who can knock down shots on he perimeter and run the show just as well as a playmaking presence. He'll be one to watch for [program_tooltip program_id='2078473' first='CC' last='Elite'] this summer on the PhenomHoops League stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2299981"],"_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-67aa4111d0207"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hines is a rising name to get to know at Hunt in the Wilson area in the 2027 rankings. He's filling up the stat sheet in a variety of ways in his sophomore year, producing 13.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. At 6-foot-4, he's a prospect who's shown he's willing to fly around defensively to do whatever is needed to help his team win. He's a versatile guard to get to know in North Carolina.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2509104"],"_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-67aa4111d0277"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is another guard that's just scratching the surface of what he can do as both a scoring and playmaking presence at CB Aycock. He's one of their leading names on the varsity stage this season with 10.7 points per game this season. As he finds his consistency in the backcourt, look for him to really grow in the class as a DII/DIII prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
