<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are some 2027 guard college coaches need to get introduced to before the grassroots season starts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2201953"],"_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-695e6c81c2fbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson impresses with his ability to dance with the ball in his hands and is very captivating when he is dribbling around in the half-court. He is a volume threat from behind arc and was able to connect on a plethora of chances from deep. Johnson can play on or off the basketball. He does a great job doubling as a defender and can turn that into offense for his team. He is a prospect who is someone who will be a priority for low majors in need of a guard who can make shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2344521"],"_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-695e6c81c3045"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gordon impressed with his do it all game. He was a threat to score from behind the arc and connect on his fair share of attempts from deep. He also has the ability to play above the rim and loves to make loud plays. I like the way he can connect with teammates and finds them for scoring chances. Gordon uses his small stature to be a magnet for stealsHe will see a ton of traction at the mid plus and high major level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2327613"],"_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-6964ff06d2573"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Knight is a stat sheet stuffing point guard who contributes to all facets of the game. He applies great ball pressure and turns defense to offense on a frequent basis. He can score from behind the arc but needs to work on his efficiency. Knight does a nice job finding ways to touch the paint and has nice touch around the bucket. I also like the way he can create offensive chances for teammates. He should see recruitment at the low major level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2786693"],"_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-6964ff06d25d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Branson does a nice job finding the bucket in different ways. He does a nice job playing in the half-court and breaks the game down with ease. I like the way he is able to seek out contact when navigating to the bucket. Branson spends a lot of time at the charity stripe and makes the most of his chances from there. He is a capable shooter from deep and can make shots if left open. I like his timing on the defensive end that allows him to collect steals. Branson tracks as a scholarship prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2201947"],"_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-6964ff06d2627"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really like the way Gonzalez impacts the game. He is a threat to play on or off the basketball. Gonzalez is in good spots on the floor to secure rebounds. He also has no issues creating offensive chances for himself and others. I want to see him be a more consistent threat from deep think that is the one thing that holds him back as a prospect. He will see a ton of traction at the low to mid division one level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2202022"],"_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-6964ff06d2673"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mauro does a good job existing in multi-guard lineups he shows the ability to play on or off the basketball. I like how the southpaw can change gears with ease and doesn't let the game get too fast for him. He has no problem converting from deep and if he gets into a groove look out. Mauro is able to take what the defense gives him on a frequent basis and has a nice in-between game. Mauro should see more recruitment at the division one level over the next several months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3345536"],"_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-6964ff06d26be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Basic has a crisp handle and keeps the ball on a string. He is a threat to make shots off the basketball from deep and has extended range. I like that he has no qualms about using his in-between game when needed. Basic is effective at the foul line and converts on his chances. He has no issues pushing the ball up the floor and finding shooters. Basic struggles on the defensive end and needs to improve his foot speed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2454539"],"_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-6964ff06d2719"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Desire is an all-around floor general who does a nice job stuffing the stat sheet with his play. He is a threat to convert shots from deep when playing off the basketball. He is in good spots on the floor to collect rebounds. Desire's pesky defense allows him to collect steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
