He is a hybrid ball player with the capabilities to play the 1-3. Even though he is comfortable and most impressive when he is on the ball while picking his spots to score. He is an elite three point shooter and high level competitor. Wilson is a highly sought after next level prospect and this will be a big summer for him leading up to his Junior Season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532096"],"_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-69e91919352b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dantzler has already shifted from a player with potential to a player that produces. His ability to make things happen on the court is where his hoop value lies. He is a shifty creator with all of the basic things required for a point guard. He plays with high IQ and pace, along with understanding how to read defensive sets and adjust to different basketball situations. His acknowledgement as District MVP in one of the toughest districts in the state is a clear nod to his performance. He is a big shot maker that plays the game with supreme confidence. This will be a big summer, and coaches will be impressed with his overall, all-around game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2881483"],"_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-69e9191935303"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2881483' first='Joshua' last='Kelly'] made his name as a consistent role player for the state champion Lincoln Prep Panthers. Kelly was a key piece playoff run earning minutes as an underclassman and producing in key moments. Kelly is a downhill player that rebounds and defends at a high level. Next season look for Kelly to take on more responsibility and increase his production on a team that looks to repeat at Lincoln Prep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532098"],"_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-69e9191935347"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2532098' first='Kaden' last='Jackson'] is a player with all of the basic tools to be a next level player. He has a strong frame and locks in defensively which will earn him more minutes in the future. He is an active player with a developing three point shot and great on court energy. This will be an important summer for Jackson. His summer gains could earn him some deserved recognition and next season minutes in High School. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2883100"],"_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-69e9191935391"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2883100' first='Adynn' last='Salsberry'] could be one of the fastest growing names in the 2028 Class based on his overall potential and current skill set. His ability to make shots could take his high school team back to the days of New Living Word domination. He is long with a nice mid-range and developing three point shot. He rebounds the ball at a high level as well as plays the game with a high intensity that generally leads to winning. Keep an eye on Salsberry. His development is already paying off in production. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That wraps up our first glance at the updated 2028 rankings, but we are far from finished.
