An underrated athlete, the 5-foot-10 shooting guard can finish with both hands at the rim and throw down the occasional dunk. The 1st Team All-Conference hooper seemingly floats through the air, using a high gather to leap and bound to the basket before going up with soft touch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With an unorthodox jumper, Oberg is a threat to shoot from the outside, but can also step into the mid-range and knock it down. </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":"Brennan Lindner","_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":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pleasanton","_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-68d335eb3327d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A star on the gridiron, Brennan Lindner receives the majority of his attention from college programs for his performance as a football player for Pleasanton. A multi-sport star, though, the combo guard averaged 20.8 points per contest last season on the hardwood.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical, irritant of a defender, Lindner uses his muscle and length to poke the ball away and get out on fast breaks for easy layups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2519375"],"_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-68d335eb332de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Just a freshman last season, [player_tooltip player_id='2519375' first='Yahya' last='Harris'] of Twin Loup was among the leading scorers in Class D1, averaging 18.6 points per game. Already one of the more physically developed players on his team, Harris more than looks the part of a future college hooper. With a long frame that he uses in shot creation on the perimeter, as a defender and to throw down dunks in transition, Harris has the physical gifts to become one of the better players in the state of Nebraska over the next few seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a youngster, Harris will need to work on his consistency in all facets of his game, but he is setting himself up for quite the high school career. </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":"Ben Heirigs","_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":"5'11u0022","_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":"St. Patrick's","_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-68d335eb33370"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With text book form, Ben Heirigs is one of the best shooters in the state of Nebraska. A volume shooter who launched nearly 200 threes in 25 games last season -- almost eight per contest -- Heirigs is knockdown from deep. Shooting 41% and making 78 triples last season, opposing teams should know to keep close out on three-point shots when it comes to Heirigs, and run him off the line if they can.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sneaky creator for others, don't let Heirigs' 2.3 assists per game fool you, either.

A natural on the hardwood, Nash commands the offense for the Dragons with confidence all over the court. A smooth ball-handler that can weave through traffic with the ball on a string and finish at the cup, Nash isn't easy to stop when he has the rock in his hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Looking to eclipse the 1,000-points mark his senior season, Nash has the ability to shoot off-the-dribble or off-the-catch, and his long frame and high release make his jumpers difficult to defend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
