Expect Burns to power the backcourt and set the tone on both ends. He is a dynamic shooter with a scorer's mentality and a strong motor. Kaleb thrives in isolation sets, using quick hips and a confident handle to create space, and he's equally dangerous off the catch or bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2986180"],"_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-68e70f5df2ac7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">1 half of Searcy's frontcourt duo. If King adds more mobility and face-up polish, he'll be a nightly mismatch. A solid interior presence with rebounding instincts. King plays the paint with strength and timing, and his mid-post game continues to evolve. He's a reliable two-way forward who plays with purpose.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2986168"],"_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-68e70f5df2b14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Valley View benefits from his adaptability. As he sharpens his defensive prowess and assertiveness, Manchester could emerge as a top-tier lead guard. A versatile guard with size, vision, and a smooth shooting stroke. Manchester can initiate offense or play off-ball, and his ability to read defenses makes him even more heady.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2986122"],"_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-68e70f5df2b5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sylvan Hills needs his size on the wing, defending, and playmaking. With improved shot consistency, Jones could be one of the state's most under-the-radar point guards. A high-energy hustle guy with burst and toughness, especially through contact on both ends. Jones thrives in transition as a connector who elevates teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2986104"],"_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-68e70f5df2bb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mayflower's identity starts with his scoring touch. If Credit expands his arsenal, he'll be a leader who wins possessions and games. A tough, compact guard who plays with grit and control. Trebreh excels at working the perimeter for outside catch-and-shoot looks, making smart reads, and playing with intensity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
