PAC League Week 2: Kyler’s Player Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's finally June which means it is time to take a break from some AAU action and get back to high school play for the month. One of the bigger leagues in the state each year is always the loaded PAC league and week two has wrapped up. Prep Hoops Indiana was out to catch some of the action and saw some talented prospects over there. Here are some quick player notes from the players that stood out to me.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2266896"],"_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-68497764b86e2"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Shot blocking skills were on display.
