Here's some players ready to shine in the bigger stage on the AAU level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2380117"],"_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-67e5a21d0dceb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Here is a player who is ready to have a big, big summer. Waite-Kellar dominates the paint on both ends, being able to block shots often and seal defenders when trying to get buckets on the offensive side. He runs the court well in transition, moving like a wing but having the strength as a post player. He looked great during Perseverance during their first tournament at the Auburn Fieldhouse last weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2622811"],"_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-67e5a21d0dd65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaleb had a big season for Eastlake, elevating his mid-range game and becoming a more well-rounded scorer from all 3 levels. He claimed the 4A KingCo Mountain League MVP as he improved on both ends. He can work from the wing or the high post, being able to create off the dribble well and find his spots to knock down his jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2464769"],"_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-67e5a21d0ddd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ty played great for the Lions this season and played big minutes. He was strong in the paint, having a solid base and being able to explode to get the rebound. He uses his body well when attacking through traffic or defending the paint, doing whatever to help his teammates get a stop and win the game. He provides energy on the court with his athleticism and confidence. He will be relied on quite a bit next year for the Lions and I think being with Sammamish Select this summer will get him ready for the workload.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685496"],"_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-67e5a21d0de24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last season when Jerome was a sophomore, he led Lummi to the state tournament and had high expectations. Unfortunately, Toby got hurt during their first game and shocked the Blackhawks. Toby worked hard to get back on the court and was going 100% by September after the season. This year, he had a massive junior year. He won the 1B boys player of the year and even lead Lummi back to the top by claiming the state championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
