<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The West Valley has a bunch of hidden and under-the-radar talent that I was able to view all summer long.

He is a very mobile big that can run the floor really well. Nick has a solid handle for his size and can get to the bucket and finish strong at the rim. He has a solid jump shot as well to keep defenders honest. Defensively he blocks shots by the rim and he can even switch on to perimeter players when needed. Nick can have a really strong year for a young DE squad that will be pushing for a playoff spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2574815"],"_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-6914ae3d30e70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another bigger kid in the West Valley that has loads of potential. Garrison is very lengthy and athletic forward. His ability to finish above the rim is one of his strongest tools. He can get out and run lanes on the break and is a real lob threat. Garrison can shoot the 3 at a solid clip. He plays the passing lanes well and is a good weak side shot blocker. Garrison had a really good summer guarding bigger guys in the post as he showed off his toughness and work ethic. This young man should have next level interest with his god given abilities he puts on display.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1956217"],"_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-6914ae3d30ee2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">PJ is a very athletic wing that likes to get to his spots. His favorite place to create and score is from the midrange. He has nice rise to his jumper and a nice shooting stroke that even extends out to the three. PJ is a plus defender that thrives on this side of the ball. He uses his long wing span to get in passing lanes and block shots. His offensive game improved over the summer as he became more assertive and confident in his scoring ability. He has a chance to take a big leap in scoring as Canyon View graduated their 3 top scorers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2434650"],"_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-6914ae3d30f53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashton plays the game at his own pace. He does not get sped up by the defense and always seems to be under control. He is used as a shooter on his team that can knock down the corner 3. He can score around the rim really well with his size and athleticism. Ashton is an underrated passer and sees the court really well especially on the break. He is a solid defender and also a really good rebounder. Ashton was the 3rd leading scorer on Dysart last year and it looks like he will take a leap this year. I expect him to be a big part of Dysart's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3066766"],"_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-6914ae3d30fc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Atanga is a extremely hard working big. He is best skill on the floor is rebounding on both sides of the ball. On the defensive side he boxes out really well and is strong when he grabs the ball. Atanga always gives his team extra possessions with his offensive rebounding and being active on the inside. He finishes around the rim well and uses his strength to his advantage. He has a solid handle that can get him out of trouble if needed and a good jumper from the midrange. Atanga works well with his team as he embraces his role and does what is needed of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2714914"],"_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-6914c2489c883"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kueth is a very long and athletic forward that has loads of potential. He uses his length to read passing lanes and sits in gaps to stop drives. He is also a solid shot blocker when he plays aggressive on the defensive end. Offensively he has a good looking jumper that has improved over the off season. He uses his long frame to get to the bucket and finish with finesse at the rim. He is a very versatile player that can play the 2-4. Kueth is just a really solid player on the offensive end as he was the 3rd leading scorer for his team last year. He will be a major part for a young DE team that is trying to make a name for themselves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
