These freshman talents can put up points in a hurry, making them ones to watch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2918874"],"_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-6944bd4a029b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2918874' first='Cai' last='Corbin'] is now sitting in the #10 spot in the latest rankings update. He is a dynamic guard who contributes on offense by getting in the paint. From there he can either make a tough finish, or drop it off to one of his forwards for an easy bucket. Corbin also has a jumper in his bag and uses his speed to get to his spots. While on defense, Corbin is known for being disruptive. As he comes up with steals and makes deflections fairly often.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2919441"],"_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-6944bd4a02a2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2919441' first='Amari' last='Carroll'] climbs from #14 to #12 in the 2029 rankings.

Carroll consistently finds open looks, and his reliable stroke allows him to knock down most of his attempts. If you haven't seen him play yet, he's entertaining, and he still has room to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3243698"],"_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-6944bd4a02a77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3243698' first='Key'Otti' last='Evans'] has broken into the 2029 rankings at #13. He's a high-level scorer who can attack the basket with his burst, while keeping his eyes up to find teammates if the defense collapses. Evans also connects from beyond the arc, capable of draining multiple triples in a game. On defense, he's a hustler who uses his instincts to create turnovers. With his skill set, he could easily become a stock riser moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2960924"],"_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-6944bd4a02abd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2960924' first='Kairey' last='Sampaio'] first caught my attention at The Hoop Gods Camp, and he continued to make an impact with Foothill's Varsity team this fall. He uses his acceleration and frame to attack the paint and consistently finds ways to score in traffic. As a defender, Sampaio shows promise and should continue to develop as he gains experience against older competition. Overall, there's a lot to like and he'll definitely be a player to monitor these next few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3243661"],"_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-6944bd4a02b03"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3243661' first='Jacob' last='Jackson'] is a part of Sunrise Mountain's stellar freshman class. He notched 6 triples in a game just a couple of months ago, and you can tell that he puts in the work outside of practice. I also like how he knows to find open space by moving off ball and he can connect from way out if he has a really good look at it. Expect him to continue to make a name for himself this high school season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
