<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were 7 Top Freshmen Performers</h2>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2759176' first='Trevin' last='Davis'] Liberty</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger wing with real skill. He shoots it effortlessly from the three point line with a pure stroke. He also has a high level mid-range pull-up off the dribble. What is maybe his most underrated skill is how hard he plays. He rebounds in and out of his area and plays the right way. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2842403' first='Malik' last='Frazier'] Bourgade Catholic</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A scoring point guard with a little size. He has a good handle and high feel for a lead guard. He will score with the floater game and hit the three off the catch with some range. He has a smaller frame but has good length to pester his opponents on the ball defensively. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2947347' first='Braylon' last='Hartley'] Ironwood</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger real point guard who is trying to make plays for his teammates. He has advanced court vision and plays from the neck up. He can score with threes off the catch plus get downhill to the basket. When he shoots it well, it opens up other parts of his game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949118' first='Jayden' last='Hollie'] Deer Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A very long and lean combo guard with good defense and offensive skills. He uses his wingspan to keep defenders in front of him and get deflections plus will score it. He has a good handle and can pull-up from mid to the three. He scores with floaters and has a super quick release with his three off the catch. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2947346' first='Giovanni' last='Nielsen'] Deer Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another very long guard is more of a two-way scorer. He is a plus rebounder with good springs out of his area to score on put backs. He will push the ball up ahead unselfishly and score getting downhill with impressive body control plus shoot the three. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2759167' first='Taylan' last='Owens'] Canyon View (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A very fast and super shifty scoring point guard. He can score it with step back or catch threes and cuts off the ball to score. He can get downhill or hit from mid. He is a good passer with perfect lob passes and needle threaders. No one will be surprised if he takes over the lead spot at Canyon View sooner rather than later. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2767903' first='Jacobi' last='Thompson II'] Arcadia</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A two-way wing forward plays hard on both sides of the court. He is a supreme athlete and is very graceful in the air and he seems like he is hanging up there for a minute with his high flying dunks. He will hit the three, get downhill and score it around the basket. He also locks in on defense using his length, quicker twitch to cover defenders and rebounds plus block shots. </p>
