The six-foot-six-inch Wayzata forward surged with strong play against so many strong opponents with his defense and rebounding. The left-handed shooter made key blocks versus Hopkins in the section finals and in the state championship game. McBeth has shown ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter and is a better athlete than he seems to let on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/1882157045648167339">https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/1882157045648167339</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381222"],"_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-67eec19ada0c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2381222' first='Deng' last='Lueth'] (Joseph) - Lueth is a six-foot-eleven-inch center from Rochester John Marshall and he will be playing AAU in the spring with [program_tooltip program_id='2455790' first='Howard' last='Pulley'] Hoops. Lueth is a big in the middle of the floor who's always willing to go after defending the basket, and a strong rebounder. Lueth's big advantage is size, others can't move him out of the way easily as he showed off at state versus #2 ranked 2025 senior [player_tooltip player_id='1310206' first='Tommy' last='Ahneman'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/1904533917459267825">https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/1904533917459267825</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2405212"],"_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-67eec19ada15c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2405212' first='Tommy' last='Auge'] - Auge is a six-foot-ten inch center from Shakopee who's a good rebounder and shot blocker.
