<p class="text-gray-700">Weismiller's shooting display has been nothing short of lights out. His ability to bury shots off the catch makes him a serious perimeter threat, but he's also shown comfort using an escape dribble to sidestep closeouts and stay in rhythm. Expect his stock to keep rising as a high-volume, high-efficiency sniper.<br></p>

His consistency from deep has been remarkable, and his willingness to make the extra pass hints at developing playmaking ability. A three-level scoring threat with an advanced feel for the game, Alberich is one to track.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">At 6-4, Settles is physical inside, a strong rebounder, and capable of scoring from anywhere. His smooth jumper from deep makes him tough to guard, and he brings the kind of energy and intensity that sets the tone for his team. As he continues to develop, Settles is shaping up to be one of Venice's key leaders.<br></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Holmes isn't the loudest player on the court, but his game speaks volumes. A crafty guard with three-level scoring ability, he's been an intriguing riser in the 2027 class.
