<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The game today is built on the three point shot, but the game also needs players that can slash and get to the rim. This job is for the wing guys. The guys with length, that can handle the ball and get down hill. They make right plays and can knock down the mid range shots as well as the three ball, but if they have a lane will finish at the rim. These are the wing players. Here are some of the wing players to watch around the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132741"],"_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-69797dee6c028"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">D'Jaun Tanner has grown past his 6'2 listing and added a lot to his game and most notable is his shot making ability and overall athleticism. Tanner is a sleeper in the 2027 class and has increased his trajectory through improvement and motor. Watching him at Northwest High school was an eye opener and coaches looking for an athletic wing can trust DJ as a next level prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2951114"],"_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-69797dee6c0ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coleman continues to show he is an elite prospect in the state by showcasing his skill and overall athleticism. He is a shooter with next level hops and a high motor. Coleman is an energy player and that translates to all programs at the next level. Look for him to make more noise heading into District play because he is peaking at the right time of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679470"],"_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-69797dee6c109"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith is recognized as a top player in North Louisiana for his overall athleticism, basketball IQ, ability to make shots and his in game production. This season he has channeled his skills to be more efficient and added facilitating to his game. He is a high school wing, but at the next level he could easily transition to point guard. He check all the boxes for coaches still looking to fill their college rosters. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2935587"],"_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-69797dee6c1a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burns is another active high flyer in the state with a high motor and upside. Burns has a solid handle, and trusted mid range shot which is perfect for wing play. At LCCP he plays in the post, but he can easily transition to the 2 or 3 at the next level. Energy, upside, and production define his game and LCCP could be a scary team to face in the playoffs with Burns and his high level of play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2307980"],"_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-69797dee6c1fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Washington rounds out the list of wing players today and his game is built on pure energy, effort, motor and athleticism. He is a rim running wing that affects the game on both ends because he plays so hard. He has filled out his frame and anyone trying to control him has to deal with his upper body, that easily absorbs contact and his elite jumping ability. Add to that his nice mid range jumper and you have a certified problem to deal with. Dunham could be a sleeper in their Division, and Washington is a key piece to their success. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
