Isaac is shifty and just a problem to guard. He can work both ways and pull up on a dime. He is working his way up the rankings and his name continues to grow. If Landry is on the schedule, Coach will need a team plan to slow Isaac down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2947703"],"_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-6976f690e8c3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kinchen is part of the tough guard group in the deep 2029 class. He is on a team full of top guards in the state, so minutes will be scarce for him, but on the flip side of that he is learning from some of the best. He is a big guard with all of the skills required to be a top player in the state, but when he gets minutes he makes the most of them. Watch out for this rising star. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2883493"],"_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-6976f690e8c8c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith has continued his growth and development and is leading Simsboro right now to an impressive season. Smith is one of the best scorers in the state and he does it with ease. His three point shot is is best attribute, but he is also efficient at getting to his spots and pulling up. His strength is coming along making him more dangerous at the rim, and he has even put down some dunks this season. If Simsboro is on the schedule, go ahead and pencil Smith in for buckets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2935616"],"_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-6976f690e8cd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Months ago when I first saw Bright, the potential was clear and I predicted his skills would translate to immediate Varisty play. Bright is getting big minutes and producing at Northshore in a big way. His job is to knock down shots, and he seems to come thru at the right time. He is a savvy ball handler, and had no problem adjusting to the speed of Varsity play or the physicality. Bright is one to watch and a for sure bucket in the 2029 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2257910"],"_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-6976f690e8d24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Right now Landon is leading Anacoco is points and assists, but the overall impact is winning. He is built like a post player, but handles the ball like a PG, shoots like an SG and works in the post like a PF. That is pretty OK for a freshman. His team is currently ranked #23 in the state with a record of 22-3 and two of those losses coming to top 5A schools. Pencil Landon in for a top spot in the rankings and a bright future. College coaches will line up for this versatile big man, that just might keep on growing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These guys can flat out score the ball. This is not about size, but the skill and the gift to just flat out score the ball. They can do it anywhere on the court and they are good at it. These are the young guys that will shape the future of Louisiana basketball.
