<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article I feature five 2029's who have been turning heads regularly this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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-697c0133bcd46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2919441' first='Amari' last='Carroll']'s shooting has been too much for many defenses to contain this year. The 2029 combo guard is averaging 17.3 PPG and has dropped at least 20 points in 10 of the Mountaineers' 22 games thus far. He has a textbook release and consistently gets his feet set, which helps him stay steady from shot to shot. He'll also keep firing with no lack of confidence. In addition to his marksmanship, he's a team player who contributes by playing hard on defense and hitting teammates when they have the better look.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Additional Season Stats - 3.0 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.2 SPG, 50 3PM<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":"CJ Paige","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Legacy ","_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-697c0133bcaa5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">CJ Paige is another offensive threat for the Legacy Longhorns that teams have to worry about. He's capable of blowing by defenders when they get out of position, and he'll also finish tough, contested layups among forwards. Paige's season-high is 24 points, which came against Cimarron, and he's had a few other notable performances as well. Look for him to potentially make some noise in the playoffs for the Longhorns.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2918902"],"_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-697c0133bcc31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alyo Hawkins has taken the reins of the Sunrise Mountain offense and helped them become a very strong unit. He makes sure the ball keeps moving and hands out five assists per game. He can also create his own shot off the dribble, knocking down both jumpers and three-pointers, or going all the way to the cup when there's a lack of help defense. On the other end of the floor, Hawkins Jr. can be disruptive, using his effort and active hands to frustrate opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stats - 15.3 PPG, 5.0 APG, 3.4 RPG, 1.6 SPG, .5 BPG, 34 3PM</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3243676"],"_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-697c0133bcb6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3243676' first='Myles' last='Hooks'] is a two-way prospect who leverages his energy, IQ, and athleticism to impact the game. Offensively, he's an effective slasher who attacks gaps with purpose, and he can also make perimeter shots when left open. On the defensive end, Hooks covers ground quickly with his foot speed. Allowing him to generate deflections, jump passing lanes, and pile up steals. All in all, his versatility makes him a 2029 worth knowing. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 5.9 PPG, 1.4 RPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2624906"],"_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-697c0133bccc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2624906' first='Damari' last='Sawall'] has put together an impressive season from a statistical standpoint, leading Mater East in scoring at 15.1 points per game while also averaging 5.3 assists. Those numbers reflect his strong feel for the game and advanced court vision. Beyond his ability to facilitate the offense, Sawall consistently tracks down rebounds and typically comes away with at least one steal per contest. Making him a very solid all around player who continues to improve. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Additional Stats - 15 3PM, 4.9 RPG, 1.1 SPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
