<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players are steadily making a name for themselves with the way they continue to produce and impact games.

He impacts the game on both ends of the floor, bringing consistent effort defensively while also producing offensively in multiple ways. Whether it's scoring, rebounding, facilitating, or making the extra hustle play, he finds ways to fill up the stat sheet and contribute to winning. His versatility allows him to adapt to different roles, and his all-around skill set makes him a constant presence throughout the game.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3148660"],"_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-69c4b13b2113d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3148660' first='William' last='Buckner'] is a highly skilled player whose offensive game stands out right away. He has a smooth, confident shooting stroke and can knock down shots from multiple spots on the floor. What really separates him, though, is his handle—he's able to control the ball with precision, create his own shot, and break down defenders off the dribble. His combination of shooting ability and ball-handling makes him a tough cover and a consistent scoring threat.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2867181' first='Courtland' last='Gray']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c4b13b21215"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Courtland is a strong presence in the paint, bringing a physical edge that makes him tough to deal with down low. As a lefty, he gives defenders a different look and uses it well to finish around the rim. He embraces contact, rebounds hard, and isn't afraid to do the dirty work inside. His size and toughness allow him to control space, and he consistently impacts the game with his physical style of play.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2740276"],"_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-69c4b13b2128c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parker is a small, lefty guard who makes a big impact with his speed and shot-making ability. He's quick off the bounce, using his burst to get past defenders and create opportunities for himself. His ability to knock down shots, especially off the dribble, makes him a constant threat on the perimeter. As a lefty, he brings a unique angle that can be tough to guard, and his quickness allows him to keep defenses on their heels.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
