<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we continue our preseason preview series with a look at <em>Wings to Watch</em> out of New Hampshire.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five upperclassmen wings that we expect will have strong seasons on the hardwood.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568381"],"_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-692a427256e1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Torres, a junior wing out of <em>Trinity High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 14.4 points per game and helped lead his team to a 14-4 record. Arguably the most versatile defender in the state, he's a long and athletic 6'4" wing that can defend any position on the floor. He's a two-way rebounder, flies up and down the floor in transition, and continues to improve his consistency as a perimeter shooter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2451429"],"_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-692a427256ea0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan, a senior wing out of <em>Windham High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 10.2 points per game and helped lead his team to a 10-8 record. He's got good size on the wing, can knock down shots in bunches from behind the arc, and has developed as an all-around scorer in the half-court. He shows an understanding of how to use screens to get open and can make tough shots in the mid-range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2553824"],"_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-692a427256f05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hickman, a senior wing out of <em>Souhegan High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 14.6 points per game and helped lead his team to an 8-10 record. A terrific off-ball mover, he's an instinctive cutter that uses his length to score at the rim, while also showing the ability to use screens to get open for perimeter jumpers. He's a willing ball-mover, does a nice job of running the floor in transition, and can make plays for others off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2465143"],"_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-692a427256f65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stanley, a senior wing out of <em>Keene High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 12.9 points per game and helped lead his team to a 13-5 record. Another terrific defender, he is a plus athlete with good instincts in passing lanes and a motor that never turns off. He is one of the better rebounding wings in the state, is hard to guard when he gets downhill off the bounce, and has continued to improve his playmaking in the half-court.</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":"Landon Ellsmore","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bedford","_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-692a427257046"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellsmore, a senior wing out of <em>Bedford High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 13.8 points per game and helped lead his team to a 15-3 record. A big, ball-handling decision maker, he does a great job of making things easier for his teammates in the half-court. He has good vision, uses changes of speeds to keep defenders off balance, and has proven to be a capable multi-level scorer too. Defensively, he can guard up and down a position and does a great job in rotation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tomorrow, we'll wrap up our time in New Hampshire with a look at the <em>Forwards to Watch</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
