Section 7 Qualifier: Players to Watch Pt. 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Section 7 Qualifier is almost here, and with it comes a chance for Arizona prospects to make their mark. Some will be stepping into new roles, while others will take on more responsibility — whether it's leading vocally, setting the tone on the court, or anchoring their teams when it matters most. With more responsibility comes more pressure, but these players are built for it. Here's a look at some names to keep an eye on during this year's qualifier weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2432565"],"_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-6837ecd1dc5db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic guard who can rack up points in a variety of ways. Uses footwork and creativity to shake defenders, connects from long range with confidence, and finishes strong through traffic. He plays with purpose and makes it tough for opponents to settle in defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2291976"],"_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-6837ecd1dc66a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming off a strong sophomore season where he led his team in scoring with 14.6 points per game and shot an impressive 55% from three, he'll look to pick up right where he left off. The lefty plays at his own pace and rarely gets sped up. He keeps defenses honest with his change of speeds and ability to relocate without the ball, constantly finding open space for quality looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2432454"],"_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-6837ecd1dc6b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fast-paced play maker who thrives in the open floor with speed, bounce, and control. He plays with creativity and constantly keeps defenders off balance by pushing the tempo. At the rim, he finishes with athletic touch and doesn't shy away from contact. His ability to create transition offense and pressure defenses makes him a serious weapon — especially in a high-energy setting like Section 7.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598402"],"_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-6837ecd1dc706"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A polished guard with tight control and great awareness. He's dependable from beyond the arc, hitting shots off movement or set feet with a smooth, quick release. Without the ball, he's constantly on the move — finding soft spots in the defense and staying shot-ready. His ability to read the floor and make sound decisions gives him real value heading into Section 7, where disciplined guards who can space the floor and make plays are at a premium.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2330560"],"_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-6837ecd1dc752"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The lefty stretch four is set to be a key piece for Mesquite this summer and into next season. He brings a versatile offensive skill set — capable of facing up and attacking from the perimeter, operating in the post, and finishing around the rim with soft touch. He also runs the floor well for his size, giving Mesquite a mobile front court option heading into Section 7.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
