<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5A Region 7 features a strong group of players who consistently contribute at a high level. This article highlights some of the top performers in the region and the roles they play for their teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1809908"],"_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-69682ef06c2bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Behnke is a solid guard at Wasatch who fits in nicely as a secondary scorer and playmaker next to teammate and top recruit [player_tooltip player_id='1786751' first='JJ' last='Serre']. He's averaging almost 18 PPG and is a consistent threat from outside with a smooth jumper. He's not a big guard standing at 6'0", but so far this season it's not been a problem and with a 14-1 record as a team he could have a bid for all-region team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278448"],"_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-69682ef06c332"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dean is already committed to BYU but it's hard not to mention him here. The best player in the region and super fun to watch. He flies around everywhere on the court and opposing coaches have to be locked in on him all night long. He can do it all. He can attack the rim with ease at this level but could use some improvement on his jump shot and ball handle in the offseason to really help his game open up in college. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278449"],"_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-69682ef06c37b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hansen plays a similar role to [player_tooltip player_id='1809908' first='Carsen' last='Behnke'] who I mentioned before. He leads the team in scoring at the moment and has a great synergy with star big man [player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'], combining for nearly 39 PPG. He's got good range from outside and knocks down three 3's per contest. Runs the offense thoroughly and doesn't cough up many turnovers. He recently put up 28 points against Olympus and 30 against Layton Christian in back-to-back games. Excited to see how this team does in region play and the playoffs. High ceiling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2306605"],"_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-69682ef06c3be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elite speed and control for a guard at this level. It's hard for anyone in the region to contain a player of his caliber. He's got great crossovers to get by his defender and finishes really well at the basket. He also does a great job of bringing fire to the court and getting off to a hot start and that shows in his teammate's effort early as well. Sets his guys up great and can lead an offense at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3175664"],"_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-6968329d31824"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solomon doesn't have the counting stats of a lot of these players on my list, but he's the main point of offense for a well-coached and balanced team in Maple Mountain. I think there's more value to leading a winning team than meets the eye, and Krommenhoek has been a solid all-around threat for them. He leads the team in scoring, and triples, over doubling the total of the next player. He keeps things moving as their lead assist guy as well and is imperative to what their coach wants to do schematically. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
