Rising Underclassmen Shooters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 25/26 season is in full swing, and this group of young shooters is proving that the work always shows. Every player on this list has clearly spent countless hours sharpening their shot. That dedication is already paying off, as they're making real contributions for their programs as underclassmen. Give them space or drop your hand, and they'll make you pay — these shooters are ready and confident.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2975154"],"_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-695fee28cce70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2975154' first='Carlito' last='Garley'] is a high-effort player who consistently looks for ways to impact the game. His work ethic has been evident throughout the season. He is a capable three-level scorer with reliable shooting mechanics. Defenders cannot leave him open or close out late, because he will make them pay. His shooting range extends well beyond the arc, and he is confident taking shots within the flow of the offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carlito does not need high volume to be effective and can get hot quickly. He has split time between JV and varsity this season and has shown he can compete at the varsity level when given opportunities. He recently knocked down his first varsity jumper, a strong indicator of continued offensive growth and confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2893635"],"_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-695fee28cced7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2893635' first='Carlos-Rey' last='Madrid']</strong> is typically known as a high-level defensive player and relentless hustle guy. This season, he has shown clear evolution in his overall game. His offensive abilities have been on full display to close out the 2025 calendar year, as he has been playing with a noticeable chip on his shoulder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He is making sure he is known as more than just an effort player. While he has always been effective scoring in the paint, he has added the ability to shoot off the dribble and consistently knock down three-point shots. Carlos-Rey already runs the floor hard in transition, but with these new layers to his game, defenses can no longer simply take away the lane — they now have to close out and contest his shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2893001"],"_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-695fee28ccf2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2893001' first='B'Angelo' last='Mason'] is spending countless hours in the gym refining his shot.

Matching his work ethic on both ends of the floor is turning B'Angelo into a true 3-and-D threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When defenders play off him or help to double his teammates, he is a strong catch-and-shoot option. He has clearly put significant time into his footwork and quick-release mechanics. When the defense closes out hard, he also has the ability to put the ball on the floor and knock down pull-up shots in the midrange.</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":"Kingston Luu","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_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":"Albuquerque Academy","_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-695fee28ccfdf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kingston Luu is a spark-plug player whose energy and intensity are matched by his ability to get open and knock down shots. During a game in December, he showcased his range by hitting a half-court shot to end the quarter. His motor allows him to run defenders off screens and consistently get to his spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The more he shoots, the better he gets. Whether inside or beyond the arc, Kingston is a scoring threat.

He is a calm, composed player who has worked his way into becoming a consistent offensive contributor. He does a good job of getting his shots from strong scoring positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He is not a volume shooter, but rather a player who scores efficiently with limited touches. As the season progresses, Iosefo is expected to take on increased scoring responsibility. Leave him open from three and he will knock it down. Force him to drive and he will finish at the rim, and if you foul him, he will make you pay at the free-throw line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
