Uttech has games of 30 points, 16 rebounds, four steals, and two blocks against Brewster, and 25 points, 13 rebounds, two steals, and one block against Colville. He's a big double-double threat with his size, increased strength, and work on the glass. He's continued to show the ability to affect the game inside and out as a stretch forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2626178"],"_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-6960363d1e8be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We didn't get to see a ton of Heide in action last season, but what we've seen this season has been enough to warrant a big bump in the rankings for the Mount Si post. He's got some legit size at 6-foot-10, has a decent frame and strength, and has shown he can be a big force around the paint on both ends. He has been doing all you ask from a true big man, setting hard screens, rim running in transition, attacking the glass on both ends, getting big in the middle defensively, and playing strong through each phase of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2375278"],"_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-6960363d1e916"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crews has been a big riser in the early parts of the season, showcasing how he can affect the game all over the court and really make his teammates better from the point. He's got the quickness and burst to get constant penetration, and he does well to see and evaluate his options while attacking the paint. Has the range to be an efficient shooter from deep, and plays with a pace that helps him get into gaps and attack the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140814"],"_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-6960363d1e97a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Central Valley big man has been a key force for them inside as they jump out to an 8-3 start with wins over Gonzaga Prep and Mead. Lippoldt has really improved his strength, mobility, and finishing inside, showing he can finish with some power as well as knock down some shots outside the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2039431"],"_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-6960363d1e9db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Patton has really turned it up this winter as a reliable offensive threat who is working for good shots and can score from each level. His pull-up jumper has been super effective with his ability to stop on a dime and rise up, but he's also picking his spots well from deep and making hard, controlled drives. He's a big reason Prairie is off to such a good start.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140829"],"_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-6960363d1ea2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Renton has been a tough team all season, and White-Kelley has been a big improver, helping them compete on a nightly basis. He's a long wing with some good bounce who can pick up multiple positions defensively, rebound at a good rate, and score going to the hoop, but his outside shot has been a big development for him to balance out his game and open some more things up to the hoop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140813"],"_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-6960363d1ea83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buol is another big improver from the early part of the winter season who has caught our eye. He's jumped into Olympia's starting five and made a big impact with his length, athleticism, and aggressive play. He's shown an improved handle and change of speeds to get to his spots and be a factor finishing at the rim, while also improving his jumpshot and being able to score from more spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
