Rocky Mountain Mayhem – Players With Most Upside

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#PHRockyMountainMayhem </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The event was held at the NoCO Sports Complex in Windsor, Colorado and these players were determined to be the highest upside from the ones that this scout was able to view. Each one of these players could end up being recruitable if they work and then the cards fall just right. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I enjoy each of their particular games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622235"],"_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-6805c08b15813"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Probably the player currently that was the highest ranked at the event and the one with the highest upside to his game. At this event, I was able to watch him over the course of two games. He can do a lot within each game he plays. When his team needs a bucket, they go to him in the post area where he can have good to solid footwork. His vision either out of the post area or the top of the offense is on the plus side and I would grade out very good for this tournament. He can shoot it on the perimeter and can hit big shots with a hand in the face. He is able to find his outside shots with ease. This weekend I saw a better approach on defense than in other games I have watched this season. He was able to comfortably switch to smaller players when needed. He worked around screens to effectively stop opponent's drives. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2817085"],"_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-6805c08b15874"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A high-end athlete in this tournament who moves around the court well. He can be active on both ends of the court, but more so on the defensive end. Like the way he plays within the 3-point arch, where with work, he could be a force. Like his chance to make leaps and bounds in his improvement this summer. If he does, he can be recruitable. The one maybe with the most potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2816838"],"_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-6805c08b158bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 6'8" shooter can be a very desirable piece to any roster. So by stating this, he has a solid foundation to start with. If he can shoot the long ball at a 38-40% clip and then get stronger, he could be the one with the most scouts hovering around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2506226"],"_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-6805c08b15901"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This rising junior is also a prospect who has a good foundation to begin his varsity career with. A player who is 6'5" and can handle the rock for his team. A guard who tries to look for and then set up his teammates is a valuable piece to most rosters. I felt his dribble drives were on the plus side for this event. In one of the two games I watched, he had a really strong half by tallying 14 points for his club so the kid can fill the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2414505"],"_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-6805c08b15944"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A young wing prospect that we all should keep an eye on in the coming varsity years. This junior to be, looks to be a legitimate 6'5" and with that certainly looks the part of a ball player. He can shoot it a bit, and I continuously saw his teammates look for him to make plays. More so, he was always looking to make plays where he was consistently playing at the rim while trying to grab boards. Liked his hops and gets up off the ground quickly. He probably had the play of the tournament Friday night. Cutting baseline from left to right, handles a tough pass in traffic and under the hoop, gets up quickly for a twisting reverse slam with authority. Call me impressed and wanting more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Names to Know</strong>: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>River Sawyer |2026 | 6'3" | Wing | Cheyenne East | [program_tooltip program_id='2440900' first='24MD' last='Team Daum'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1622249' first='John' last='Elbe'] | 2026 | 6'5" | Wing | University | [program_tooltip program_id='2440900' first='24MD' last='Team Daum'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jevon Guess | 2025 | 6'5" | PF | Morgan Dawgs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2395351' first='Andrew' last='Ward'] | 2027 | 6'2" | G | Holy Family | [program_tooltip program_id='2078368' first='Colorado' last='Titans'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
