<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo is fast approaching, and with it comes a stage built for the state's top talent to prove exactly why they belong among the best. This is a chance to go head to head with elite competition, showcase the work put in over the summer, and elevate their game to an entirely new level. For some it could be the moment that solidifies their status. For others it's the breakout performance that puts their name on the map.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Use my code LopezHoops25 for $10 off registration <a href="https://events.prephoops.com/e/1616/register/the-expo-colorado">https://events.prephoops.com/e/1616/register/the-expo-colorado</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2895998"],"_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-68a5b85dc1e59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Otesa already shows a confident stroke from deep and does a good job of finding his spots within the offense. The Expo could elevate his game by diversifying how he creates those looks with the ball in his hands. Whether that's tightening his handle to get into shots off the bounce, or adding more movement without the ball to free himself for catch and shoot opportunities. Expanding his finishing package at the rim would also keep defenders honest, forcing them to play him tighter and opening even more chances from three</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2395324"],"_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-68a5b85dc1ed3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Evans brings a strong defensive presence and has already shown he can score at all three levels. The Expo is the place he can take the next step by refining his shot selection and becoming more efficient in his scoring. Adding more playmaking like using his speed to collapse defenses and set up teammates, would make him even more dynamic. If he continues to lock in on defense while showing he can create for others as well as himself, he'll raise his stock as a complete two way guard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2737263"],"_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-68a5b85dc1f27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Myles brings the energy every possession and he's scrappy, fights for everything, and finds ways to impact the game while putting points on the board. He could expand his game by sharpening his perimeter shooting to complement his hustle plays, making him even harder to guard at The Expo. Developing a more consistent handle to create his own looks and opening up playmaking opportunities for teammates would round out his style. If he continues to combine his grit with more polish on the offensive end, he'll stand out as a complete difference maker</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622290"],"_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-68a5b85dc1f76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mbadinga already leverages his size, length, and frame well to establish position down low and score inside. The Expo is the perfect chance to show his expanded game by showcasing polished footwork and touch around the rim making him more efficient in traffic. Combining that with his already reliable mid range jumper and face up move would show the layers of his offense and force defenders to guard him beyond the paint. If he continues to anchor inside while showing flashes of versatility on the perimeter, he'll continue to quickly draw attention as a big with massive upside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2550787"],"_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-68a5b85dc1fc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dixon has shown he can stretch the floor with his shooting and provide valuable spacing. His game could elevate at The Expo by working on creating shots off the dribble while continuing to excel on catch and shoot looks. Adding more consistency while attacking closeouts, finishing at the rim or pulling up in the mid range would make him a more complete scoring threat. If he continues to knock down threes while showing versatility in how he gets his points, he'll raise his profile as more than just a floor spacer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
