The 6-foot-3 guard continues getting stronger physically, and it's paying dividends for his ability to play against other scholarship level guards, especially on the defensive end. Furthermore, I've seen too many ridiculous shooting performances from him to not believe that he's one of the best shooters in the region. Even though his shot looks a bit odd, it goes in with amazing consistency. He should be a key cog for KUA this season and will probably garner some low scholarship and high level D3 looks depending on how he plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2874981"],"_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-68b87db28af12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+26</strong> (#116 to #90)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spinoso will always be one of my favorite players in New England, and college coaches at the scholarship level are finally starting to come around. The 6-foot-5 wing/big man is undersized, but his strength and toughness allows him to guard up and contend with plodding bigs -- he's one of the best post defenders for his size out there. However, he has the quickness and agility offensively to cause lots of problems for opposing forwards, especially with his ability to operate out of the high post and create for himself and others. After a great AAU season with Crown and a good summer with Cheshire, Spinoso's stock is rising quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2762124"],"_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-68b87db28af65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+14</strong> (#151 to #137)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cantave continues to make big strides in his game as time goes on. Last season at Brooks, he brought athleticism and toughness on the defensive end, but his offensive skills were only just coming along. Now, though he's still in the process of figuring everything out, his touch and finishing skills around the rim are much improved and he's a lot more comfortable using footwork in the paint. He's even working on an outside shot that if he can continue to develop, could really open up his game. He should start for Brooks this season and be a key cog in their front court -- he's a high level D3 player if I had to guess.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2818561"],"_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-68b87db28afb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+26</strong> (#56 to #30)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Okpara had a breakout year for Wilbraham and Monson last season, and he continued his development into the AAU season with Middlesex Magic. The 6-foot-7 forward has ridiculously long arms, which allows him to compete with opposing bigs on the offensive and defensive glass and on the defensive end. Offensively, Okpara has an excellent handle and very good agility for his size, and he's an amazing downcourt driver. These skills will likely earn him a scholarship at the D1 or D2 level, and he should be one of Wilbraham's best players this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2553728"],"_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-68b87db28b027"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+34</strong> #157 to #123</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoffmaster is one of my favorite players in New England and probably doesn't get the recognition he deserves because of the fact that he isn't as a prep powerhouse. However, after an amazing summer with the Middlesex Magic, the 6-foot-3 wing needed to rise in our rankings. He doesn't have an offensive weakness and has great versatility on that end as a result of his shooting ability, handle, and passing ability. Hoffmaster should be Concord Academy's best player this season and will play high level D3 ball if I had to guess. I think he could even get some low scholarship looks because of his ability to play around great players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2546943"],"_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-68b87db28b074"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+30</strong> (#113 to #83)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caldarella rises in the rankings after a big time AAU season for BCRI in which he was one of their most impressive players. The 6-foot-3 guard initially burst onto the scene because of his three point shooting ability, but he has a lot more to his game the more you watch. Like all BCRI players, he moves well without the ball and is incredibly unselfish, but he can also create for himself and others out of the pick and roll if he really needs to. He has solid positional size and despite not being a freak athlete, he has above average strength and the fundamentals to make up for it. He's a high D3 player or perhaps even a low scholarship player in my book, and he should get lots of looks on a great Cheshire team this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
