<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moving onto a new segment of ten hoopers, here are a handful of guys who I believe will take over this season and become "it-factors" on their squad.

Making the most of his 6'4 frame, Chavez takes care of rebounds and accelerates the pace in transition. Taking command of Flatirons Academy this fall, watch Chavez continue to let it rain and dominate the competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1903589"],"_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-68f6cd74978ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1903589' first='Payson' last='Land'] is an all-around asset to have on your team. Confusing defenders is Land's specialty, and a fine-tuned jumpshot means the 6'6' forward can't be stopped with the ball in his hands. Opportunities come easy for Land, who makes sure his teammates are involved and thriving. A high energy hooper who loves the game, Land will enjoy a massive volume increase this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2393198"],"_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-68f6cd7497921"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2393198' first='Hudson' last='Rooney'] flies around the court and causes havoc on both ends of the hardwood. Defensively, Rooney slides his feet quickly and clamps up his assignment on the perimeter. Rooney has improved immensely over the summer, coming off a successful campaign with the [program_tooltip program_id='2075463' first='Elevation' last='Flyers']. On a stacked Mountain Vista team, Rooney should have no problem making plays oncemore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175392"],"_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-68f6cd7497975"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2175392' first='Nick' last='Glatfelter'] is an explosive forward who wastes no time getting busy scoring the ball. Able to connect across all three levels on offense, Glatfelters dynamic play style makes him the center of attention for opposing coaches. In clutch situations, Glatfelter remaisn unphased and ready for any given moment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1764297"],"_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-68f6cd74979bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1764297' first='Jeilo' last='Hamenyimana'] is among the top scoring point guards in his class. The 5'9 star can burst past defenders and protect the ball effectively. Crashing the glass is Hamenyimana's specialty, as he seeks out second chance points. Knocking down three-point bombs with confidence is another aspect of Hamenyimana's game that impresses me. Keep Jeilo on your radar this year as he continues to succeed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
