<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PH NorCal has completed our last rankings for the class of 2025. These are prospects we've covered for multiple seasons, and we still find new prospects. Here at PH NorCal it is our goal to find prospects who can play college level basketball. In our updated and final rankings for 2025 we have approximately 25 newcomers. One checks in at 50, another gets into the top 100. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2724275"],"_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-67d8c58c827d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malm checks in as our top ranked newcomer at 50. A 6'8 long wiry prospect with expanding skills. He moves well, handles in open court pushing, and looking to make a play with his passing, or length using long strides to reach the paint for jumpers, or go all the way to the rim. He'll use a dribble or two for mid-range shots. He spots up well around the perimeter for 3's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2779832"],"_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-67d8d3753a5ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson is a 3 sport athlete. Standing 6'6 with a strong body, and good movement. He played a key role in his teams success on the court this season. His aggressive play in the paint on both ends of the court was noticeable. He was a dominant rebounder, scored with power moves. He used 1 and 2 dribble drives to score around the rim. He's a good court runner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2805156"],"_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-67d8d3753a648"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fresh off a D IV State Championship. We first saw Nyikos during the teams late season play-off run. He's probably bigger than his listed size. He's a fast playing guard that likes to get the ball up court in a hurry. He's aggressive on drives to the basket handling contact with his solid body. He works well in a drive and kick offense. He'll drop 3's from around the perimeter, help rebound.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2770788"],"_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-67d8d3753a68e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He plays to his strengths, doesn't try to force things. He's good around the bucket using his foot work to generate points. He works the high, mid, and low post. His ball movement is good. He rebounds at a good rate. He doesn't have long range consistency, but he can hit the short jumper, and put it on the floor to attack from the baseline, and other areas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2779834"],"_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-67d8d3753a6ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's an aggressive, and fast guard with handles to create his scoring opportunities. He's a point guard that has shown the patience to run a teams offense up top. He has that burst to get by defenders, he'll drive and kick, or dump it off. He's hard to handle in open court. He has a jump shot for mid-range, and 3's he can hit around the perimeter. He has quick feet to stay close to ball handlers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
