<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>High flyers are built to get up and attack the rim without hesitation, and today, these players took it to a whole new level. Not only did they soar above the rim, but some of them did it on both ends of the court. Whether it was finishing dunks, acrobatic layups or shutting down drives with blocks, these athletes showed why they're the ones you don't want to miss when it comes to aerial attacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2828234"],"_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-67f2757c557a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nordenson has got the size and hops to match up with anyone on the court. Offensively he went up strong time after time with easy layups and dunks. Though his defense was on another level, and it played a huge role in his team's perfect 2-0 start. Opponents trying to drive the ball inside on him might want to reconsider he's not the guy you want to challenge. He swatted away multiple shots today and was a force on the boards, grabbing everything in sight. Simply put, he was everywhere, making it tough for the other team to get anything going in the paint</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398735"],"_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-67f2757c5581a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wells energy and hustle today were absolutely electric—it was like watching a guy who never stops moving. He's got some serious hops able to get up there with the best of them, and he was relentlessly attacking the rim in all 3 games. Whether it was coming off the corner or slicing to the basket, he did it with such quickness and authority that defenders just couldn't keep up. Every time he made a move it felt like he was about to make something happen, and it made him nearly impossible to stop today</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2819823"],"_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-67f2757c55863"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tannahill was playing way above the rim in all three of his games today. His size was on full display no one could stop him on either end of the floor. He was relentless, getting up and finishing strong at the rim time and time again, making it look easy. On defense, he was a nightmare for anyone trying to drive to the basket. Every time an opponent thought they had a clear path, Tannahill was there, blocking shots or just making things way more difficult. He really dominated the game today and showed why he's such a force on both ends</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2328948"],"_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-67f2757c558a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gebhardt was a constant force around the rim today, making his presence felt on both ends of the floor. His defensive play was off the charts, leading to several fast-break opportunities where he got to attack the rim with full force. He wasn't just finishing easy layups either—he pulled off some seriously impressive, acrobatic finishes at the basket. Despite not being the biggest guy out there, he showed no fear, soaring over defenders much taller than him with ease. It was incredible to watch how he kept attacking and making plays all day long</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2138430"],"_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":"","_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-67f2757c5593b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When it comes to high flyers, Cobb's name is one that has to be mentioned every time. Today, he kept proving just how athletic and skilled he is. He moves toward the basket like it's nothing, and we saw him throw down some huge dunks, including one off a fast break where his teammate lobbed it up perfectly, and Cobb finished with a dunk that sent the crowd into absolute hysteria. He was always looking to make a big play, and whether it was attacking the rim or finding an opportunity to throw down another highlight, he was relentless all day. Simply put, Cobb was the guy everyone was talking about after today's games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

High flyers are built to get up and attack the rim without hesitation, and today, these players took it to a whole new level. Not only did they soar above the rim, but some of them did it on both ends of the court. Whether it was finishing dunks, acrobatic layups or shutting down drives with blocks, these athletes showed why they're the ones you don't want to miss when it comes to aerial attacks.
