<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 4A/3A City League has hit the ground running as we head into the new year, and the race is already taking shape. These are the players who will swing tight games, fill up the box score and ultimately decide who's standing at the top when it's all said and done. From consistent production to game changing moments, this group is setting the tone for the league and they're the must know names moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2472483"],"_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-695c2e99eeef2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor has been an absolute nightmare for Denver West this season and has firmly established himself as one of the top players in his league. Averaging 14.1 points and 11 rebounds per game, his length creates constant matchup problems on both ends of the floor. He scores effectively inside and out, finishes through contact and stretches defenses with his touch. Defensively his toughness and activity set the tone, controlling the glass and impacting possessions with physicality, effort and consistency every night</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2297878"],"_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-695c2e99eef8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sekue has established himself as one of the top players to watch in the league, building on the buzz he created this summer and delivering every night this season. Averaging 11 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists, his all around production jumps off the page. He's a big, active matchup problem who plays above the rim, finishes with force and can stretch the floor with his three point shooting. What truly separates him is his vision and passing, consistently elevating teammates while impacting games on both ends for Denver West</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2410486"],"_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-695c2e99eeff5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cowans continues to emerge as one of the top players in the league for Denver West, consistently impacting games with his scoring and edge. Averaging 10.1 points per game, he stretches defenses with his range and shows a strong feel for getting to his spots. He drives hard and plays through contact, and once he gets rolling his confidence and aggressiveness elevate. Add in his active, disruptive defense and Cowans competitiveness and toughness make him a matchup problem and a true difference maker</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2827096"],"_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-695c2e99ef053"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooks may only be a freshman, but he's already established himself as one of the top players in the league at Lincoln. His scoring ability is well beyond his years, with 49 points and 7.7 assists per game average, showing his impact as both a scorer and playmaker. He's a true do it all offensive threat, knocking down tough threes with defenders in his face and attacking the rim with confidence. Brooks' poise, skill and competitiveness make him a special talent and a player everyone needs to know</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2766509"],"_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-695c2e99ef0b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carpenter continues to show night in night out why he's one of the top players in the league with a dominant start to the season for Manuel. Averaging 20.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, he impacts the game at every level. He's a polished shooter who can create his own shot off the dribble and consistently make tough shots under pressure. His vision allows him to read defenses and make the right play, while his rebounding adds extra value. Carpenter's skill set and consistency make him a constant problem for opponents</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2766495"],"_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-695c2e99ef112"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tomita has taken a major leap in his senior season at DSST College View, jumping across the stat sheet and establishing himself as one of the league's top players. Averaging 19.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, he's a reliable scorer who can hurt defenses with his jumper and three point shooting. He's trustworthy with the ball, makes smart decisions and delivers in big moments. Tomita's growth, efficiency and poise have made him a go to option and a constant offensive threat</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1877578"],"_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-695c2e99ef175"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zink has capped an outstanding career at Kennedy by getting his 1,000 points while becoming the school's all time leading scorer, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. Off to a hot start averaging 18.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4 assists, he continues to prove why he's one of the league's best. He's a knockdown three point shooter with elite ball control, consistently gets himself open and makes smart reads with his vision. An excellent ball handler and proven scorer, Zink impacts winning in every way</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
