<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the last stretch, several players have put together strong runs that demand attention, impacting games on both ends of the floor. From guards controlling pace and creating offense, to wings and bigs finishing plays, defending, and making winning reads, these performances have gone beyond the box score. The consistency, shot-making, and defensive activity shown during this span highlight real growth and confidence. Each of these players has helped tilt games in their team's favor through competitiveness, feel, and execution. Below is a look at the recent top performers who are elevating their play and trending in the right direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3178750"],"_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-698df16190c9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moody is a quick, dynamic guard who consistently puts pressure on the defense with his speed and change of pace. He does a strong job finishing around the rim, using body control and touch to score through contact. As a scorer, he can create his own shot at multiple levels while staying aggressive within the flow of the offense. His playmaking stands out, as he reads help defenders well and delivers timely passes to keep teammates involved. Moody's ability to make plays off the bounce forces defenses to pick their poison. He brings energy, competitiveness, and composure to the backcourt. Overall, he's an essential piece whose impact goes beyond the box score and directly contributes to winning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2485359"],"_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-698df16190d4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hiller is a high-upside big whose game continues to trend in a major way. He finishes efficiently around the basket, using touch, length, and improving strength to convert through traffic. As his athleticism continues to come along, he's becoming more explosive and impactful on both ends of the floor. Hiller is a lethal scorer in the paint who consistently capitalizes on deep seals and rim opportunities. His ability to score with efficiency makes him a constant matchup problem for opposing bigs. The growth in his physical tools has elevated his overall ceiling. At his position, he's firmly establishing himself as one of the best sophomores in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1729827"],"_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-698df16190dc4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Powell is a true three-level scorer who can impact the game from anywhere on the floor. He has the ability to heat up quickly, yet never looks rushed or out of control with the ball in his hands. His shot-making comes within the flow, showing patience and strong decision-making. Defensively, Powell can guard multiple positions thanks to his length, effort, and understanding of team concepts. He competes on that end and takes pride in making things difficult for opposing scorers. The combination of scoring versatility and defensive reliability makes him valuable in winning situations. He's a player whose trajectory continues to trend upward and one that scouta should keep a close eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3142678"],"_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-698df16190e3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryant is a heady point guard who consistently controls the game with his feel and poise. He does an excellent job finding teammates, delivering the ball on time and in the right spots. Offensively, he gets to his spots with purpose, using angles and pace rather than forcing the action. His decision-making stands out, as he values possessions and keeps the offense organized. Brynt also rebounds the ball well for his position, showing toughness and anticipation. He impacts the game in multiple areas without needing high usage. Overall, his ability to make smart plays with the basketball makes him a steady and reliable floor general.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2479977"],"_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-698df16190eb0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garutti is a versatile wing who consistently impacts the game on both ends of the floor. He brings a winning presence through his effort, physicality, and willingness to do the dirty work. Offensively, he can score in a variety of ways while staying within the team concept. On the glass, he's capable of producing double-doubles by attacking rebounds with toughness and instincts. His recent 22-point, 10-rebound performance highlighted his ability to take over stretches of a game. Defensively, he competes and uses his size to disrupt plays and finish possessions. Garutti's all-around production and consistency make him a wing that directly contributes to winning basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
