He carves out space with deep post seals and has a natural feel for high-low positioning, making him a reliable target in the halfcourt. His passing ability stands out at his size, delivering crisp bounce passes and soft-touch feeds to cutters and shooters. Jordan plays with patience and balance, absorbing contact to finish around the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2419528"],"_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-68b4ba7a10f29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Broome is a blur in the open floor, using his quick first step and natural burst to beat defenders in transition. His strength allows him to absorb contact and still convert difficult finishes at the rim. With the confidence to score from anywhere, he thrives pulling up off the dribble and has extended his range beyond the arc. Defensively, Broome's instincts shine—he anticipates passing lanes and consistently generates steals that fuel his fast-break game. As a rebounder, he wastes no time, immediately pushing the tempo with a grab-and-go mentality. His blend of speed, toughness, and scoring versatility make him one of the more dynamic guards in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2523976"],"_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-68b4ba7a10f74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is a unique inside-out presence with a strong blend of size and touch. At 250 pounds, the point-forward knows how to use his body to carve out deep position, while his nimble footwork gives him reliable scoring moves inside. A left-handed post, Brown's go-to is a smooth hook shot, but he also shows playmaking ability as a connector at the high post, reading the defense and finding cutters. He communicates well on the defensive end, particularly when helping teammates navigate screens. With his combination of strength, soft touch, and basketball IQ, Brown projects as a player who can anchor the paint while also elevating those around him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2879788"],"_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-68b4ba7a10fb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now at Houston County after transferring from Howard, Stephens is an athletic, high-energy forward who finds ways to impact the game in multiple areas. He's aggressive when attacking the basket, finishing through contact with strength while also showing flashes of perimeter touch. His ability to put the ball on the floor gives him versatility in how he scores. Stephens' motor on the glass and willingness to defend multiple positions have begun to draw attention from D-I programs, and with continued development of his outside shooting, his stock will only rise further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2046367"],"_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-68b4ba7a10ff7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Knight is a big left-handed guard who brings a football player's toughness to the basketball court. A dynamic athlete, he blends speed and strength to get downhill, holding his line and absorbing contact on drives. He has begun to add consistency to his outside shot, giving him another layer to his offensive game. Defensively, his physicality and competitive edge make him a tough assignment for opposing guards. Already holding multiple D-I football offers as a wide receiver, Knight's athletic profile and toughness translate seamlessly to basketball, making him an intriguing two-sport standout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
