[player_tooltip player_id='1278435' first='Junior' last='County'] has all of the skills needed to compete at the next level. From his 6'5" frame to his tight handle, he profiles as an offensive engine type player at the next level. County reminds me of a player like Andrew Nembhard. He's unbelievably consistent on his jumpshot. With a balanced release it allows him to knockdown shots in transition and off balance in the half-court. He likes to get up and run while keeping his teammates involved as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2898841"],"_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-68d88e59d7b5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sularski is a crafty lefty who plays at his own pace at all times. Never a rushed play from him. He's got international experience which is extremely helpful with how the game is played in 2025. He doesn't pop off the screen athletically, but he sure does in terms of poise and court vision. He will excel in the college game with his 3pt shot primed for the extra step back, his IQ, and ability to make the right play over and over. Excited to see this kid's future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278502"],"_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-68d88e59d7ba4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like many Olympus guards before him, [player_tooltip player_id='1278502' first='Gavin' last='Lowe'] is absolutely knockdown from three. He has a knack for beating his man off the dribble with one swoop and instantly getting to his spot whether it's a tough layup or a turnaround in the mid-range. Not to mention he averaged 5.6 APG and 2.6 SPG along with his 22 PPG as a Junior. [player_tooltip player_id='1278502' first='Gavin' last='Lowe'] does everything a winning player needs, and he'll be going for a 3rd straight State Championship for the Titans. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1724360"],"_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-68d88e59d7bea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shewell is one of the most athletic prospects in the state. He has lots of potential to hone his ball skills and become a real problem at the next level. He's got the size and athleticism as is to be a solid defensive player and could still be growing going into his junior season. Look for improvement to his ball handle, leading to easier opportunities for himself to score at the rim and overall confidence on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1724358"],"_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-68d88e59d7c2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A young kid with lots of time to develop. Already though, he looks like someone to keep an eye on. At 6'3" and handling on-ball duties the sky is the limit for this player. He was able to play over 10 minutes a game on a 21-4 Orem team as a freshman last season. He's in a good club program with [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'] and they have a great project on their hands here. Troy will continue to improve and only time will tell where he ends up at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
