The 6'6 junior wasted no time getting comfortable in his new threads, scoring 20 or more points multiple times at the beginning of the year. He then kept it rolling the rest of the season, skirting around defenders regularly on his way to the cup and consistently doing damage from the free throw line. He then helped the Cougars cap off their playoff run with two big-time performances in the NIAA 5A semifinal and final. Look for him to continue to make noise with Team WhyNot during the AAU circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2111894"],"_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-69bb54b936326"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stock riser alert! [player_tooltip player_id='2111894' first='Tyler' last='Merto'] ascends to #2 from #5. He earns the new ranking thanks to his high-impact play on both offense and defense for Desert Pines. On offense, he proved that he can score inside at will if he wants to, utilizing his footwork, frame, and strength. But he's also lethal with his mid-range jumper, and he shot an impressive 35% from downtown. On the other end of the court, he will swat shots out of bounds and can get physical against taller forwards, making him a very well-rounded prospect overall. Catch him running with Prominent Elite this spring/summer, where he'll look to pick up his first offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2086139"],"_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-69bb54b9363a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bishop Gorman point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2086139' first='Tyler' last='Johnson'] is still in the #3 spot. He was very effective for them on offense thanks to his elite burst, elusiveness, and vertical. He burned defenders time and time again and flushed down dunks while making tough finishes too. The pressure he put on defenses at times was palpable, and he absolutely helped them win some close games because of it. He was also a playmaker on defense, picking off passes, coming up with loose balls, and grabbing rebounds. All in all, he played with purpose every time he was on the court, and his competitiveness was evident.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1945831"],"_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-69bb54b93641a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1945831' first='Ty'jir' last='Broxie'] hasn't moved from the #4 slot. The versatile forward is built to overpower opponents in the paint and can go right through them when attacking. He also has multiple moves in his bag to counter and will dunk it on opponents who try to jump with him. His athleticism and height also pose problems for his matchup on defense, as he isn't an easy guy to gain ground on or get around. Broxie notably posted 5 double-doubles this season and looks poised for a strong spring/summer with the Oakland Soldiers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1965124"],"_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-69bb54b936492"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1965124' first='Jayvion' last='Wall'] rises to #5 from #6. He's a very dynamic scorer who can deceive opponents with his creative handles and athleticism. Defenders have a rough time anticipating his next move, and he's typically able to find pay dirt when he wants to. Wall can pull up from beyond the arc as well and is a "problem," to say the least, if he's feeling it. His entertaining and slick play had a lot to do with him averaging 25.4 PPG. Wall isn't just an offensive prospect though, and he can block shots on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
