<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group of scorers has emerged as some of the top shooters around, each bringing a unique weapon that stretches defenses to their breaking point. Whether it's deep-range snipers who can heat up in an instant, versatile wings who can rise up over defenders, or crafty guards who create space with ease, they all share the same dangerous ability to change a game with their shooting. Their confidence, mechanics, and willingness to take—and make—big shots make them players opponents have to game-plan for every night. When these shooters get rolling, it's not just impressive—it's nearly impossible to stop.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2958211"],"_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-69214938aea5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2958211' first='Hans' last='Patagoc'] has quickly built a reputation as a defensive anchor who can also light up the scoreboard when his team needs it. Known primarily for his toughness and discipline as a guard, he showed just how versatile his game can be when he erupted for 26 points, adding 7 rebounds and 5 assists in a standout performance. That kind of all-around effort highlights his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor—locking down opponents on defense while confidently creating offense for himself and his teammates. With outings like that, Patagoc is proving he's far more than just a stopper—he's a legitimate two-way threat.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Christian Flournoy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69214938aeb11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christian Flournoy may come from a homeschool background, but he plays with the confidence and polish of a seasoned gym rat. He's the kind of player who finds a way to impact every part of the game, stuffing the stat sheet with points, rebounds, assists, and hustle plays that don't always show up in the box score. Whether he's knocking down shots, setting up teammates, or outworking opponents for loose balls, Flournoy's versatility and drive stand out. His unique path hasn't slowed him down—in fact, it's helped shape him into a focused, well-rounded competitor who shows up every game ready to produce.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2624977"],"_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-69214938aeb5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2624977' first='Gage' last='Stepich'] has firmly established himself as a deadly shooter, and his recent performance made that reputation impossible to ignore. In a blistering two-minute stretch, he buried four threes—an eruption that instantly swung the momentum and showcased just how dangerous he can be when he finds his rhythm. Stepich's quick release, deep range, and fearless confidence make him a constant threat the moment he crosses half court. When he gets hot, defenses have little hope of slowing him down, and that explosive run of four triples is the perfect example of the spark he brings to any game.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2198640"],"_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-69214938aeb9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2198640' first='Gavin' last='Green'] is a natural scorer who thrives even without the ball in his hands. His timing, spacing, and instinctive feel for the game allow him to slip into open gaps, curl off screens, and make himself constantly available as a scoring option. Whether he's cutting to the rim, relocating to the corner, or finding soft spots in the defense, Green's off-ball movement creates easy opportunities for both him and his teammates. Combine that with his confident finishing and smooth shooting touch, and he becomes the kind of player who can quietly rack up points simply by outsmarting defenders and staying active on every possession.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_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-69214938aebdf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556352"],"_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-69214938aec1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matt Dale brings a rare blend of size and shooting touch that makes him a matchup problem every time he steps on the floor. At 6'5”, he has the length to shoot over smaller defenders and the mobility to stretch bigger ones out to the perimeter. His smooth, confident stroke forces defenses to extend far beyond their comfort zone, opening up the floor for his team and creating driving lanes for others. Whether he's spotting up, trailing in transition, or stepping into rhythm jumpers, Dale's shooting ability gives his offense a reliable, high-impact weapon that's tough for opponents to contain.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
