<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are the most notable guards from this particular league, featuring high volume scorers primarily inside the arc, although there are a few noteworthy shooters too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767279"],"_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-67a687b166c0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brotherns gets downhill about as well as anyone in this league, bringing a quick first step and strength to deal with aggressive point of attack defenses. Adept attacing opponents off of the rip, there are not many backcourt names who solely focus on attempts in the paint while being so dpeendbale on those attempts. Him and Walker are an excellent 1-2 punch for this group, bringing smart decision making and dynamic shotmaking as needed to propel themselves or the rest of this team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2401515"],"_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-67a687b166c65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Starks does a great job getting downhill, bringing a quick first step and the dependable handle to get to the rim through contact. At his best with the right hand, the guard gets downhill at will, comfortable drawing fouls as needed. Bringing smooth footwork to generate space as needed, the guard is a dynamic scoring threat who has been essential towards generating consistent offense. Like so many of these Sand Creek names, the guard holds up on the defensive end, bringing active hands at all times to disrupt the opposing offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767276"],"_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-67a687b166ca8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker is a skilled shotmaker who brings a quick release and handle to score from all three levels. Not needing much space at all to operate for another shot attempt, he is not wavered by an immediate contest in his face. Effective operating out of ball screens, the guard draws plenty of pressure at the point of attack, capable of hitting the slip screen if doubled. Firmly in the top-3 within the Colorado Springs Metro League, The Classical Academy is no easy out given their high IQ perimeter playmaking. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2386588"],"_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-67a687b166ce6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mullenix is a serviceable playmaker within the offensive flow, quick to read the floor for kick outs or rolling teammates. His quick instincts go on both ends of the floor, bringing quick hands to deflect passes and cause chaos. Most often operating in driving lanes out of handoffs, he brings a fairly strong frame to maximize his looks against mismatches along the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1799630"],"_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-67a687b166d4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Potts has found success as a lead guard who gets downhill at will, bringing a quick first step and the necessary handle to deal with opposing perimeter defenses. Capable of creating space in the mid-range, he continues to provide consistent scoring off the dribble. Especially effective scoring from anywhere inside the arc, there are not many guards down in this region who are as unpredictable one on one as Potts. When needed to play off-ball, he is active in passing lanes to create steals and generate fast breaks as needed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2120966"],"_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-67a687b166d92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cook deserves praise for his efficiency inside the arc, bringing soft touch and smooth footwork to score through opposing contests. An assertive downhill scorer, the guard is at his best operating off of rips, comfortable taking it all the way to the rack or putting up a floater in the face of contests. He keeps his head up while on the attack, capable of finding the cutter or open kickout as needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

These are the most notable guards from this particular league, featuring high volume scorers primarily inside the arc, although there are a few noteworthy shooters too.
