<p class="text-gray-700">The athletic Chadwick has room to grow his game. He's been a consistent prospect on the court, contributing in different ways. He has improving guard skills, plays well on both sides of the ball. He's a good handler, a ball mover, can play multiple positions at this level. He has good lift on the jump shot, he finishes at the rim including dunks. He defends, and rebounds.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Fresh off a CIF DI State Finals appearance, Merolla brings intensity and hard play to the court. At 6'3 he has an improving skill set we'll see more of going forward. He scraps for loose balls, and rebounds, he doesn't mind mixing it up in the paint. He has strong drives to the basket, he has a jump shot, can hit the 3 at times. He averaged 11.3ppg, 4.9r, his numbers should tick up with more shot opportunities.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Malm makes the biggest move into the top 75, coming in at 55, from 97. The 6'8 Forward shows a wide range of improving skills for his size. He's an excellent passer/ball mover, often finds cutters, and shooters. He's got decent post footwork. He's shown 3pt range, can hit the short jumper. He's long getting stronger. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Consistent and productive describes Tran. He has good guard skills, takes care of the ball, makes good decisions, moves the ball. He can generate a basket with good drives, and short pull up jumpers. He's a good help defender in good position, he has the foot speed to stick with ball handlers. Almost 10pts a game.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">There's a good chance Dodge will move up in the rankings with a good Spring and Summer showing. He has good size and skills to be productive with the ball in his hands. He's a good driver and passer, can finish around the basket. He hit short corner jumpers, finished good along the baseline, has shown 3pt range. We'll see more. 11.7pts, 4.7r.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Clark had somewhat of a breakout season. He's understanding the game better, making decisions on whether to shoot or pass. He's using his improving skill set to be a factor on the court. He has the ability to generate points using strong, and fearless drives to the basket, he has the body to handle contact. He'll get a rebound, run and finish strong in transition.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">A quality point guard who does a solid job of running things up top, distributing the basketball, he could be a pass first type. We know he has the tools to produce a bucket. A solid body with good leverage working his way for paint, and mid-range jumpers. He puts pressure on a defender in transition. He can defend on ball. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">A long wing forward played well towards the last half of the season. We saw improved dribble drives with balance, and strides from the corners, and perimeter, A kick out or getting it closer to the rim. He's finish inside with length and extra effort. We saw a short corner jumper, and corner 3's. His production, and numbers should tick up. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A quality point guard fresh on a CIF D II Championship. He does a good job of controlling pace, keeping his dribble, and setting the offense in half-court sets. He's an excellent driver with good passing skills looking for his shooters, and dump offs for assists. </p>
