Team Preview: Napoleon

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Napoleon is a very interesting team. They have some well established talent combined with some skilled youth with upside. There seems to be excitement about the direction of the program and the possibilities for the team this season and beyond. They return a handful of starters from the perimeter, wing and the paint. These veterans will look to improve on last year. Looking at the variety of skill sets on the roster, I think that this is a program on the rise this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">ROSTER</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tyler Nall</strong> (2026, 6-4)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"4 year varsity player for us who has a chance to hit 1000 points this year.
