Grassroots: Weekend Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is that time of the year as the grassroots season is just getting started, and several players have already made a strong early impression. Below are some of those standouts who have shined in their respective tournaments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374347"],"_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-69c9fd63a1dc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McMorran made his [program_tooltip program_id='3510287' first='Utah' last='Prospects EYBL'] debut and did not disappoint. He is a fluid, three-level scorer and playmaker. His shooting ability in the simple catch-and-shoot was great, and he is a ball mover who can dribble into his shots. With such a solid outside shooting game, he often gets bad closeouts that lead to attacks at the rim. With a variety of finishing moves on display this weekend at The War Before the Storm in Texas, this kid is going to be fun to watch, and he fits in well with this 2028 group out in Utah. He currently holds 2 Division 1 offers and look fo rthat number to explode after the spring and summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1724367"],"_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-69cadf853afad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1724367' first='Saxon' last='Young'] and the [program_tooltip program_id='2272999' first='Salt' last='Lake Rebels'] attended the Recruit Look event, and Young has continued his strong play from the high school season, which has certainly turned heads. He was among the best players this past weekend, displaying explosive drives off the dribble. His clutch shooting, timely scoring, and playmaking were all on full display.

He is a lengthy guard that is starting to fill into his frame. He is showing some explosiveness and he is just getting started. Blackett had a great showing at The War Before The Storm in Dallas, Texas. His rim-attacking ability was impressive, and he was playing above the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2521701"],"_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-69cadf853b063"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zimmerman has the potential to make a significant impact this upcoming high school season.
