--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morgan is a 6'7” center that jumped on our radar over the summer with a strong June for his high school team.  On a team dominated by guards during the live periods he showed he can be the muscle inside as an enforcer and physical presence.  He showed that and much more on Saturday.  It started with his ability to knock down shots from distance with consistency.  We didn't see that at all in June and he was excellent at knocking down the long ball as a stretch big man.  Also was effective as a take from the mid-post where he would win with a couple dribbles finishing at the cup.  More mobile on both ends than I originally thought.  Rebounds in his area and plays with a high-motor.  Will get a massive bump in the next update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more physically impressive wings in the 2026 class Abushunab has nice size, strength, and athleticism.  Physical downhill slasher that finishes well at the cup.  Can score from all three levels with his three point shooting, mid-range turnaround, and get to the rack.  When he wants to lock in on the defensive end he can be an impact player there as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Istvanik is a skilled wing that plays with a high basketball IQ.  Like how he cuts off the ball and has a knack for moving to the right spots.  Often times that is getting in positions where he can let the three ball fly.  Shows some athleticism and can knock in pull up jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCullum is the versatile piece that brings a little bit of everything for the Raiders.  He is a defender that can check bigs, wings, and switch on to guards when asked.  Small ball four brings versatility and a nose for the basketball.  Has some potential as a shooter and is quick to the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'10” senior lead guard has a lot of speed to his game.  Like what he brings as a floor general that can push in the open floor with his head up to make a play.  Has blow by ability in one on one situations as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This senior shooting guard had a strong camp.  He is a well known name, but has continued to progress including having an excellent outing on Saturday.  He was looked at early in his career as a plus three point shooter that could knock them down at a high level off the catch.  That is still true!  He has added so much more to his game however with his crafty handle and toughness being able to get to the charity stripe.  Runs the floor hard and really competes on the defensive end!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This was my first look at the 2026 6'6” small forward.  Hahn has excellent size and moves pretty well defensively on the perimeter.  Sound three point shooter being able to knock in several in the game we caught along with getting on the offensive glass for put backs.</p> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lee was the first player in the gym and he left an impression with his play!  The Prosser wing stands at 6'5”.  Junior has a long and lanky frame with plus athleticism.  Utilized that with a quick second jump on the offensive glass, finished dump offs around the hoop, had a nice euro step, and we were super impressed with his connectivity as a secondary playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maciaga brings good perimeter size to the table at 6'4” in the 2027 class.  He makes his money with his ability to shoot the rock from the perimeter!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
