Potential MVP Candidates: Northwest Conference

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The season is coming up very soon and it's never too late for some MVP predictions. Here I will start with the NWC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2622822' first='Caleb' last='Greenland']</strong></em> - 2026 - Lakewood HS - Caleb was one of the top players in the conference last season, leading Lakewood to the conference title. Greenland is a fundamental wing who consistently gets buckets when playing off two feet and always gets teammates involved. Greenland could win the MVP in the conference. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2392727' first='Dawson' last='Hintz']</em></strong> - 2027 - Lynden Christian HS - Dawson is extremely athletic on the court, throwing down big dunks in transition and elevating high off his jumpers. Hintz is going to thrive with the ball in his hands, being able to get to his spots and play elite defense. He could very well win the MVP in the conference given he will get up a lot of shots and score almost 20 a night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729681' first='Spencer' last='Adams'] </strong></em>- 2026 - Lynden HS - Spencer is going to be stepping into a bigger role for Lynden. Last year he was a key shooter for the Lions, knocking down deep shots consistently for his squad. The team will have Adams handle the ball more as he did in the summer but he showed unselfish behavior, getting his teammates involved often. He is going to have a bigger role for this team next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2457277' first='Kaden' last='Veldman']</em> </strong>- 2027 - Lynden Christian HS - Kaden is a monster on both ends, dominating in the paint and being able to block shots with ease. Veldman reads opposing players easily, being able to block shots often and rebound very well by using his strength. His jumper has continued to improve, being able to hit mid-range jumpers nicely. After he gets a consistent deep shot, he'll be a bigger threat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2457283' first='Ethan' last='DeJong']</strong></em> - 2026 - Sedro-Woolley HS - Ethan is one of players who will get the most "momentum" for winning the conference MVP. DeJong scores from all 3 levels, being able to hit off-balance jumpers and get deep in the paint. He hits the deep shot at a high percentage, letting it fly with no hesitation. He runs the court in transition, throwing down big dunks over opposing players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
