<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article I feature more guards that have climbed up in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each of them played on varsity and I was a fan of how they performed this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2635490"],"_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-67db8c04f3d7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous rank 52</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2635490' first='Grayson' last='Williams'] is a skilled shooter who can drain shots from just about anywhere on the court. He has a mid-range jumper in his bag and gets tough shots around the rim to go in. Williams can also make plays on the defensive end, and pushes transition with his speed when there's an opportunity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2024-2025 Season Stats - 7 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2449393"],"_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-67db8c04f3e25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous rank #90</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2449393' first='Eli' last='Benna'] impressed me back in January with his passing and defensive abilities. He has great court vision that allows him to make passes that perfectly set up his teammates for easy buckets. Benna also gives it his all on the defensive end, which sometimes leads to him coming up with a steal. Benna can can be an efficient scorer as well and his top scoring output of the season came against Jesuit. He dropped 18 points that game and shot 8 of 10 from the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024-2025 Season Stats - 9.5 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 4.5 APG, 1.3 SPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2468405"],"_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-67db8c04f3e96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous rank #74</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2468405' first='Amari' last='Hinds'] is up 32 spots in the new rankings. The Wildcats guard has some handles, which allows him to get to his spots. I'm also a fan of his space and how he decelerates at times to create separation. As a defender, Hinds marks his man well and battles for rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Best game - 17 points vs Somerset Losee (6-8 FG)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024-2025 Season Stats - 6.7 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 1.2 APG, 1 SPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478675"],"_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-67db8c04f3efe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous rank #67</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ricky Bunch Jr. was a standout performer for Mojave a couple of times this season. He came off for the bench for them and provided quality minutes by connecting on shots from beyond the arc on offense. Bunch Jr. was a difference maker on defense as well. His high energy and active hands consistently frustrated his opponents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024-2025 Season Stats - 4.2 PPG, 1.7 RPG, .9 SPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2449483"],"_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-67db8c04f3f68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous rank #92</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2449483' first='Aaron' last='Westphal'] contributed in multiple ways for Bishop Manogue this past season. He shot 40% from 3 (23 of 57) and 62% on his 2-point shots. Westphal also found his teammates a couple of times a game for open looks. As a defender, he also came up with quite a few blocks for the Miners, posting 18 total in 27 games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024-2025 Season Stats - 6.9 PPG, 3 RPG, 2.3 APG, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
