The 6'2-6'3 wing is an athletic slasher who can fly up the floor in transition, or beat his man off the dribble from the wing. Even with his speed, he does a great job of scanning the floor while driving, allowing him to locate open teammates around the basket when help defenders step up. Added in a transition dunk and a big time block off the backboard to finish the game with 19 points and 5 assists on 7-11 shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2116495"],"_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-67ae4495ae8af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cahlil just keeps things simple, and when you combine that with an explosive 6'2 frame, it allows him to produce with a high level of consistency. He definitely has the skillset to go and get an isolation bucket, but instead focuses on scoring within the offense. Against Madison West he excelled at beating his defender with backdoor cuts, or sprinting his lane in transition for easy looks at the rim. Has the touch to finish from difficult angles with either hand. Defensively he can guard a number of spots, as he moves his feet well laterally and has some length at 6'2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2399871"],"_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-67ae4495ae8f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Justin's outside shot wasn't falling, but he made up for it with his finishing and effort on the glass. Dominican was missing their main shot blocking threat, so Justin made it a priority to get to the rim for high percentage looks. He shot 9-14 on his looks from inside the arc, while also earning a few trips to the free throw line. His effort on the glass was impressive as well, as the 6'3 guard kept some possessions alive on offense, and was able to secure rebounds in a crowd defensively. He finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds while playing every minute of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Payton Laabs","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Germantown","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ae4495ae987"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Payton is a pure shooter for this Germantown team. Against Madison West, he was finding pockets of space out on the perimeter, and always seemed to have his hands and feet ready to shoot when the ball came his way. Showed a quick trigger as he knocked down 5 of his 6 attempts from beyond the arc on his way to 15 points in the win. It was a breakout game for the 2026 guard who came into the night averaging about 2 ppg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2224508"],"_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-67ae4495ae9cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With no [player_tooltip player_id='1351718' first='Aaron' last='Womack'], a lot of Dominican's offense on Tuesday night was being generated by Demitrius Taylor. The 5'9 guard is so quick with the ball in his hands, and was able to get into dangerous areas off the dribble to create for himself or his teammates. Has the vision to locate the open man with a kickout pass, or dump off pass around the basket. Showed good touch to finish over size with a floater, but was also fearless going right into defenders at the rim. Finished with 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists in the loss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2224532"],"_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-67ae4495aea0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sam added to an already impressive junior season, with 24 points and 9 rebounds in a win over Dominican. At around 6'4, there isn't much the 2026 guard doesn't do. The lefty is shooting 44% from three, he can defend most spots on the floor, has above-the-rim athleticism, and can create for his teammates when called upon. He's done a nice job of adding some strength to his frame, and that allowed him to go right at Dominican defenders last night to finish at the rim. One thing that always seems to stick out with Sam is the intensity and effort he plays with. You can tell he simply wants to win, and doesn't go out playing for individual numbers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874983"],"_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-67ae4495aea47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kyon is another player on this list who doesn't over-complicate things, and instead makes the smart read leading to efficient performances. At 6'1 he has some length out on the perimeter, with the strength needed to play through contact around the rim. He did a great job of picking his moments to attack off the dribble, while also finding ways to get out in the open floor for transition finishes. He was Dominican's most efficient scoring option on the night, ending the game with 16 points on 7-11 shooting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
