The talented left-handed point guard ran the show for his team while leading them to a great deal of success. During the high school season at Wapahani, Bell is known as a big time scorer. However, he really showcased his playmaking ability as a true floor general for [program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game'] this past weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471421"],"_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-6810ea719bdc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marshall was a consistent top performer for [program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] - UA Rise 17u at the Windy City War. The 6'3" guard from Columbia City is a very versatile scorer on the perimeter. His outside shooting ability puts a lot of pressure on opposing defenses and helps to spread the floor. However, he also has the ball handling ability to attack closeouts and drive in a straight line to the rim. He had success doing both throughout the weekend as his team went 2-2 against a very high level of competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1738845"],"_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-6810ea719be31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A high-upside guard in Indiana's Class of 2026, Pardon played well consistently for [program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] - UA Rise at the Windy City War. The athletic 6'2" point guard started the weekend off with a team-leading 15 points in a 20-point win over the Illinois Ho[program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last='']tars. He then went on to score in double-figures in both games on Sunday as well.

He showcased his pure scoring ability at the Windy City War putting up a team-high 18 points in a 69-60 win over 1 Dream Basketball on Saturday afternoon. Pokorney has great positional size and is a high-percentage jump shooter. The way he scores the basketball will translate smoothly to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398995"],"_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-6810ea719bf01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scholl is a walking double-double. Fresh off of averaging 16.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game for a Northridge High School team that went 21-4 on the season, the 6'6" big man put up 13 points and 8 rebounds in a Saturday afternoon victory for [program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game'].

Now, he appears to pick up right where he left off for [program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] - UA Rise. The long, athletic guard was a double-figure scorer in three of their four games this past weekend at the Windy City War. Wilson's ability to play either guard spot and bring some havoc creation to the perimeter defensively makes him an interesting college prospect to follow this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
