<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players, all returning all-state athletes, are off to a strong start this season and are showing why they earned such recognition. Each brings their unique strengths to the team—whether it's scoring, playmaking, leadership, or dominance in the paint—making them a formidable group on the court. With their experience and talent, they're poised to have a standout season and continue building on their impressive careers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209777"],"_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-69365940a0fd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2209777' first='Ian' last='Premer'] stands tall at 6'6”, using his size and strength to impose his will on the court. He is an extremely physical presence, never shying away from contact and consistently outmuscling opponents in the paint. Whether fighting for rebounds, finishing through defenders, or protecting the rim, Premer plays with toughness and authority. His ability to dominate inside makes him a constant factor around the basket and a matchup problem for anyone tasked with guarding him.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2211348"],"_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-69365940a1034"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelan is a lethal shooter who can change a game in a heartbeat. With a smooth, confident stroke and deep range, he puts constant pressure on the defense and makes scoring look effortless. When he finds his rhythm, 30-plus points come quickly as he knocks down shots from anywhere on the floor. His ability to get hot fast forces opponents to adjust immediately, because leaving Kelan even a step of space is an easy mistake that turns into points.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2211343"],"_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-69365940a107e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaevon Bonner has established himself as a reliable and effective scorer for Seaman, showing the skill and confidence needed to lead the offense. He has a strong feel for creating his own shot and capitalizes on scoring opportunities when they present themselves. As he prepares for his senior year, Bonner is poised to take a big step forward, with the potential to increase his production and impact on the game. With continued growth and leadership, he's looking ready to make his final season his most productive yet.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2211346"],"_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-69365940a10c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rocco is a true leader for Kapaun, setting the tone for his team with both his performance and poise on the court. As a great playmaker, he has a sharp basketball IQ and consistently puts teammates in the right spots to succeed. At the same time, he's a reliable scorer who can take over when the moment calls for it. Rocco's ability to balance leadership, scoring, and playmaking makes him the engine of the team and a player Kapaun can trust in any situation.<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":"Blaise Dailan","_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-69365940a1109"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blaise is a versatile player who excels in every facet of the game. With his ability to shoot consistently from long range, score in a variety of ways, defend tenaciously, and create opportunities for his teammates, he brings a complete skill set to the court. His all-around talent makes him a key contributor on both ends of the floor and a player opponents have to game-plan around.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These players, all returning all-state athletes, are off to a strong start this season and are showing why they earned such recognition. Each brings their unique strengths to the team—whether it's scoring, playmaking, leadership, or dominance in the paint—making them a formidable group on the court. With their experience and talent, they're poised to have a standout season and continue building on their impressive careers.
