<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Within the top 60-50 hoopers in the class of 2026, we see explosiveness and consistency among this group.

Through distributing the ball and creating space for himself, Smith oozes confidence and poise on the floor. Able to knock down threes at a proficient rate and capitalize by the rim, there are truly no limits to Smith's ceiling this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2460097"],"_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-68ffcef23b462"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2460097' first='Isaiah' last='Lucas'] leads his team despite what the scoreboard says, which speaks volumes to his demeanor on and off the hardwood. Lucas makes emphatic cuts to the basket and threads through defenses for buckets. Good luck scoring on Lucas, because his quickness and wingspan allow him to tally up plenty of steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1799812"],"_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-68ffcef23b4ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1799812' first='Max' last='Roselle'] takes his game above the rim, slashing to the cup and scoring with ease. The 6'7 forward prioritizes ball security and constantly makes good decisions with the rock. When Roselle is in triple threat, he can rip through and burst to the basket without being nervous to absorb contact. Roselle will thrive at Timnath this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175384"],"_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-68ffcef23b4ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2175384' first='Jeremiah' last='Starr'] is an electric 2-way guard who takes pride in his defense and torches his matchup on offense. Within a few dribbles, Star is ready to fire away at his spot. A three-point specialist, Starr always has the green light from his coach to let it fly from downtown. As quick and shifty as Starr is, opportunities will be knocking at his door in no time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622249"],"_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-6900ccaa7fe1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1622249' first='John' last='Elbe'] is a key piece of the puzzle on University's squad. Taking care of the glass and elevating the tempo in transition makes Elbe the perfect forward to have. Elbe thrives in the paint on both ends of the hardwood, utilizing his 6'5 frame to get wherever he wants. Look for Elbe to continue to dominate the game in a multitude of ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
