By being more physical and pushing opponents off their lines to force them towards help, he has the potential to significantly improve his defense this upcoming season. His innate ability to locate the ball and contribute to rebounding are valuable assets, especially considering his drive to the basket. Capitalizing on open spaces and getting touches on the ball can lead to easy scoring opportunities and defensive stops. As an offensive player, Bagley excels as a ball mover, consistently delivering well-timed passes that lead to assists. He has the potential to make a significant impact on the state rankings overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2400409"],"_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-68af11400ce3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cardon possesses exceptional court instincts, frequently making astute decisions to secure tips and steals. His remarkable speed allows him to navigate the court swiftly with the ball, a characteristic that places him among the fastest players. Undervalued for his ability to create his own shots, he executes smooth and quick maneuvers that get him open looks. Cardon's tireless effort and relentless drives to the basket are noteworthy. He is poised to become a "stat stuffer," excelling in various aspects of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2951709"],"_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-68af11400ceaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Putzke might be one of the better players you haven't heard of. He's a bigger guard, but he moves like a smaller one. The way he can get from one side to the other on crossovers, all while maintaining control, is impressive. He shoots the ball well enough to play on the perimeter, but he also has the strength to work inside. He will be among some of the risers with potential this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2951711"],"_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-68af11400cf17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Look for Sione Su'a to play with a lot of energy and speed. Similar to his older brother, Su'a is built to do it all, including rebounding, defending, and being an offensive spark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2400671' first='Krew' last='Asay']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2218123' first='Korver' last='Pace']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2612667' first='Azan' last='Afridi']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2317902' first='Urban' last='Baldwin']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
