A shooter with a quick release, Siems has a perpetual green light to shoot the rock. A ball-handler that can create for himself on the perimeter and when attacking the basket, Siems uses his long range and vision to spread things out for Tri County's offense and create for others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A volume shooter that put up 464 attempts from the field last season, Siems has some pretty solid shooting percentages, too, all things considered. He shot 55% from two and 32% from three last year, while making 77% of his free throws. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2967415,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Isaac Couch","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Yutan","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Hoffman Hoops","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68cd75fcae469"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Deceptively athletic with unique body control and the ball on a string, Isaac Couch uses his handle to weave through opposing defenses and finish with either hand. He has the ability to shoot and create for others, but his main calling card on the court is his ability to put the ball on the floor, use footwork and create for himself. That's exactly how he comes in second in Class C2, averaging 17.5 ppg last season for Yutan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's not an elite athlete or a high flyer that goes for dunks, but Couch's awareness of where he's at on the court and his ability to find a way to the rim without turning the ball over is what separates him from other high school hoopers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gavin Baker","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bergan Catholic","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68cd75fcae54b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A star receiver on the gridiron for Bergan Catholic, Gavin Baker takes his football skills and athleticism to the basketball court, too, as he averaged 17.2 ppg last season for the Knights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-foot-6, Baker is one of the bigger players in Class C2, and he plays like it. A lob threat that also uses floaters and unblockable, turnaround hooks in the lane for easy buckets. A smooth stroke from three, too, opposing defenders have to account for his ability to shoot from the outside. Baker uses a nice shot-fake on the perimeter to take one dribble and get to the cup for easy layups over smaller defenders, too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2617609"],"_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-68cd75fcae60b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another big man in a small class, [player_tooltip player_id='2617609' first='Grady' last='Bresson'] comes in just behind Baker, averaging 17 ppg in 2024-25 for Friend High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>More of a versatile player that can put the ball on the deck and shoot from the outside on a consistent basis, Bresson is more of a wing, as opposed to a true big in the front court. Long with soft touch around the rim that extends to the perimeter, Bresson can shoot the three and is a smooth athlete that throws down a solid dunk from time to time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like <a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/07/the-x-files-unidentified-2027s/">David Gardner said</a> when identifying up-and-coming 2027s in the summer of 2024, "Bresson understands positioning which leads to high activity on the glass, creating plenty of high-percentage put-back opportunities."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Eli Jaixen","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"ALC","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68cd75fcae6f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seemingly a combination of Siems and Couch while also being a year younger, Eli Jaixen is an intriguing combo guard that has a strong handle, can create for himself and shoot from three with a smooth jumper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaixen has an understanding of angles to attack the basket, plus a high basketball IQ that affords him opportunities to find open teammates around the basket before opposing defenses can make their rotations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaixen's confidence as a ball-handler and shooter, along with his ability to create for others could soon have him in a similar role to Siems.
