<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With all the high quality players and teams in action tonight, I decided to give you 5 MORE players to watch tonight!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at "5 Players To Watch - 1/6" below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2026/01/5-players-to-watch-1-6/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2026/01/5-players-to-watch-1-6/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1806404"],"_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-695d0f39da2e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This one seems pretty obvious. The frontrunner for Mr. Basketball is a pretty easy choice for a player to watch. This could be a fun matchup too as Torbert tests his elite athleticism and skills against a tough and physical DeWitt squad. It should be fun to see him try to get out in the open floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2446082"],"_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-695d0f39da36a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is coming off an impressive showing at a showcase event and looks to continue his high level hoops against a skilled ATAP team. He's been scoring by the boatload and may have to do so again tonight. Brown is quickly proving to be an explosive wing and an up and coming prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140507"],"_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-695d0f39da3c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Benton Harbor will try to stay undefeated tonight when they travel to Portage Central. Hobbs has been lights out this season and will have a say in the outcome of this game. He's been dynamic with his passing, hitting teammates with accuracy even in tight windows. Hobbs has been terrific in transition, flat out beating opponents down the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140484"],"_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-695d0f39da410"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hairston is having a statement making season and will look to keep his foot on the gas against Berkley tonight. He's been a big time scoring threat for a talented Royal Oak team. It seems like Hairston has been above 20 points more than not. Of he can get north of 20 against Berkley, their chances of a W seem strong.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2489453"],"_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-695d0f39da45f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bloomfield Hills, featuring Wayne State commit [player_tooltip player_id='2489453' first='Da'ron' last='Mason'], will play at Lake Orion tonight. Mason has had some huge scoring nights, putting up I believe as many as 33 in a game this season. But he hasn't just been a scorer. Mason has shown his ability to create and distribute as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

With all the high quality players and teams in action tonight, I decided to give you 5 MORE players to watch tonight!
