#RockyMountainMayhem: 17U Glue Guys Who Came Up Huge on Day 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every roster needs several glue guys. These players aren't always the flashiest, but they sure know how to make the right decisions and gel their team together through high effort and communication. Let's talk about it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175387"],"_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-6806b1978f182"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2175387' first='Kaden' last='Northrup'] exudes confidence and energy on the hardwood at all times.

When he's on the bench, you'll find Northrup always motivating his teammates and staying locked into the game. The 2025 guard is exactly what the Morgan Dawgs need this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2452189"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2844586,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6806b1978f1f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2452189' first='Jesse' last='Klinger'] is constantly locked in throughout every game he plays in.

A rebounding guard, Burton doesn't hesitate to follow his shot and crash the boards.

Lucas puts an emphasis on attacking the basket and elevating with defenders to earn trips to the free throw line. Rebounding comes second nature to Lucas, who always crashes the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
