His performance at the NBPA Top 100 Camp earned him MVP honors, solidifying his reputation as a game-changer. With elite athleticism, skill, and leadership, he's shown he's easily a top 5 player in the country. Mingo's rise is no fluke—he delivers on the biggest stages, every time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466505"],"_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-68d8032634e52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swann has emerged as another major stock riser with his explosive play and high motor. An athletic slasher, he constantly puts pressure on defenses with his quick first step and finishing ability. He can heat up in a hurry, capable of putting up points in bunches when he finds his rhythm. Swann's versatility and energy make him a dangerous weapon on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2349988"],"_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-68d8032634ea2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White is a smooth scorer who makes the game look effortless with his polished offensive skill set. He plays at a controlled, deliberate pace, never rushed and always in command. His high basketball IQ shows in his decision-making and ability to read the defense. White consistently finds smart ways to impact the game, whether he's creating for himself or setting up teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2207292"],"_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-68d8032634f06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fields is a confident playmaker who can both score and facilitate at a high level. With experience as a lead guard, he understands how to control the tempo and get his team into the right sets. He reads the floor well, making smart decisions whether he's attacking the rim or finding open teammates. Fields brings poise and leadership to the backcourt, making him a reliable presence in big moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1729832"],"_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-68d8032634f50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jervis is a lethal offensive threat with the ability to score at all three levels. He can knock down shots from deep, create off the dribble in the mid-range, and finish strong at the rim. His scoring versatility keeps defenders guessing and opens up the floor for his teammates. Jervis consistently shows the confidence and skill set of a go-to option in any offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
