Small School Producers: Northern Front Range

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These backcourt and wing presences have been imperative towards leading their programs through competitive performances at the 3A and under classes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2294759"],"_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-67a14df4011f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christiansen is on a short list of guards in the North Front Range posting 20+ points and 4+ assists, not to mention an efficient percentage from the floor. A consistent shooter from distance too, the guard has few holes in his offensive game, providing shotmaking and ball handling abilities to be effective against most defenses. Lyons is 5-2 in league play, in large part from Christiansen orchestrating this offense. Another aspect of his routine production comes on the defensive side, bringing a relentless attitude in passing lanes, always flying around to create fast breaks when possible. Bringing quick instincts to not just get the ball in passing lanes, but at the point of attack, the guard has been sensational early on within a winning context.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2762163"],"_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-67a14df401262"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lundy has been one of the more efficient volume shooters at 3A or lower, a key weapon for Heritage Christian over the course of their season. Elevating his percentages from 31 to 41% from last season to the current, he has made strides in the face of incoming contests. Bringing a quicker release that years prior, he has found ways to solidify his role this season. If needed to take it to the rack, he looks to push the pace in transition as much as possible.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2762170"],"_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-67a14df4012aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hermsen looks to pressure the paint, an effective balance with Lundy's skillset. A functional downhill scorer who keeps his head up for the next pass, the guard is a versatile offensive weapon depending on how the defense plays him. Comfortable skipping it or sending bullets to baseline slashers, the guard has worked to set up teammates in the perfect location as needed.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2762174"],"_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-67a14df4012ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rodgriguez brings good size as a system scorer at 6'3, comfortable attacking the rim off the rip, adept at getting to his spots within a few dribbles. Efficient with his offensive looks, he works to get opportunities off-ball just as much as on-ball, comfortably reading the defense to pressure the rim for whatever opportunities needed. His motor is relentless, bringing the physical tools to play the 5 as needed or slide up to a wing spot based on opposing matchups.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2762175"],"_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-67a14df401333"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Powell lives around the rim, at 6'3 he has the necessary size and strength to attack the paint at will, comfortably scoring through contests as needed. Effective pushing the pace off a defensive rebound, the guard has quick footwork to create advantages around the basket, either with the left or right hand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2762178"],"_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-67a14df401376"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sarchet is another tall guard who has done well to both pressure the rim and read opposing defenses for the next pass, comfortable seeing the floor at this level. Effectively making the extra read more often than not, the guard's height advantage has allowed him to get passes over the top of his immediate defender. Union Colony Prep currently sits at 8-7 on the season, in large part from their duo of guards boasting high motors and diverse skill sets within the 3A context.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
