His mechanics and willingness to pull up off the dribble separate him from most guards his age. As his frame develops, the combination of outside shooting and playmaking vision could make him a dual-threat guard who forces defenses to pick their poison.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2574521"],"_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-68dc74bb2abeb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stobaugh plays with a steady hand and a shooter's mentality. He thrives as a floor spacer, consistently finding his spots on the perimeter and stepping into shots with balance and confidence. His ability to stay patient within the offense makes him a valuable piece. With added strength and defending, he projects as a reliable catch-and-shoot guard who can stretch defenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2877816"],"_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-68dc74bb2ac46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lanier is an intriguing young combo guard with a smooth outside stroke. He's shown flashes of deep range and the ability to rise over defenders, giving him a natural scoring advantage. His willingness to find open windows on the perimeter shows a developing understanding of spacing. If he continues to refine his handle and decision-making, Lanier has the tools to become a perimeter scorer who can play on or off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2825995"],"_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-68dc74bb2acb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pritchett is a smart guard who likes to let it fly from beyond the arc. His release off kick-outs makes him a constant threat to opposing defenses. He's comfortable from the wing or the corner, and his shooting ability ensures he can fit alongside ball-dominant players. As his shot selection sharpens and his playmaking grows, Pritchett projects as a guard who can provide instant spacing and outside shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2460604"],"_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-68dc74bb2ad0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooper stands out as one of the well-known shooters in the 2028 class. His mechanics are repeatable with a range that already extends beyond the high school line. He thrives as a catch-and-shoot option but shows the ball-handling ability to add side-step and pull-up variety, which will make him even harder to defend. With continued growth in shot creation and off-ball movement, he has the upside to emerge as a premier perimeter scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
