<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the season officially wrapped up, it's a good time to spotlight some players who consistently performed and flew a bit under the radar. These are guys who made a real impact and have earned a closer look moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466079"],"_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-67f5cfc13eb96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more impressive guards I've seen this season. A well-rounded player who can get to his spots just about any time he wants. He's a confident and shifty ball handler who doesn't get rattled under pressure and isn't easily bumped off his dribble. Makes good reads out of the pick &amp; roll—knows how to use the screen to create space for himself or make timely passes to the roller or short pop option. He gets solid lift on his mid-range jumper and can knock down the three ball effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> One of my top unsigned seniors—he brings a lot to the table and is definitely a prospect to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466075"],"_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-67f5cfc13ec01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most exciting players I've seen this season. Plays with a ton of joy and confidence—you can feel his presence when he's on the floor. A strong on-ball defender who moves his feet well and takes pride in getting stops. He plays with no fear and is a true shot maker. When he scores, it's loud—he brings energy and momentum to his team. Can score it on all three levels and isn't shy about stepping up in big moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1873684"],"_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-67f5cfc13ec4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A knockdown shooter from deep, he shot 41% from 3 this season, and it wasn't just on low volume—he consistently took and made tough shots, both off the catch and off the dribble. He's comfortable spotting up in the corners, relocating to open space, or rising up off a ball screen. Defenses had to account for him beyond the arc at all times, which opened up driving lanes and created space for his teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2552769"],"_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-67f5cfc13ec8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He was impactful on both ends of the floor this season for Apollo. A reliable shot maker who brought consistency to their offense, and a tough, engaged defender who took pride in getting stops. Whether it was knocking down timely jumpers or locking in on a key match-up, he showed up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470115"],"_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-67f5cfc13ecd2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A supreme athlete who brings a ton of versatility to the floor. He doesn't need to score to impact the game—his presence is felt in so many ways. A consistent lob threat in transition, he puts pressure on defenses simply by running the lane with purpose. He rebounds well on both ends and offers strong rim protection with his timing and bounce. Another one of my top unsigned seniors—he absolutely deserves some looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2763998"],"_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-67f5cfc13ed16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong ball handler who can impact the game in multiple ways—whether it's knocking down threes, hitting mid-range jumpers, or getting downhill and attacking the rim. He makes smart reads in transition and shows good decision-making in the half-court, keeping the offense flowing. With all the tools already in place, and a strong off-season of work, he's poised to have a really good junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1950116"],"_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-67f5cfc13ed57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Showed his value as a reliable floor spacer this season. He consistently hit threes, especially from the corners and wings, with a quick, repeatable release. Played with good feel off the ball—moved well to open spots and took advantage of defensive lapses. Made the most of drive-and-kick opportunities and showed he can be a consistent threat when left open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

With the season officially wrapped up, it's a good time to spotlight some players who consistently performed and flew a bit under the radar. These are guys who made a real impact and have earned a closer look moving forward.
