His athleticism stands out and he does a solid job of keeping his eye on the hoops when he's amongst the trees. Jefferson is a quality defender as well, coming up with 2.6 SPG for the Desert Shields. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Additional 2025-2026 Season Stats - 11.6 PPG, 2.1 APG, 2.5 RPG, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3576793"],"_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-69cefb4ed2937"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3576793' first='Logan' last='Tabb'] is another new guard on the board.

He is a 6'5 prospect who joined CIVICA Academy this past season and played forward for them. He's hard to miss given his size, and he also has a long wingspan. His length allows him to get to the hoop in just a stride or two, and he has a high release point. With his size, the upside is there, and he has the potential to be a stock riser moving forward.. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3576795"],"_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-69cefb4ed29cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3576795' first='Kenyon' last='Mitchell'] is a floor general over at Faith Lutheran.

Mitchell's acceleration skills help him facilitate shots for others as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3576682"],"_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-69cefb4ed2a13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3576682' first='Terrance' last='Holmes'] is an emerging name to know due to his athleticism, IQ, and ability to run the show. He is very quick for a freshman, and he leverages that shiftiness to protect the rock or set up his shots. Holmes is also the type of player who gets after it on defense and can stifle his matchup with his twitchiness and ball pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025-2026 Season Stats - 3.5 PPG, .6 RPG, .7 APG, .4 SPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3560416"],"_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-69cefb4ed2a53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3560416' first='Brycen' last='Scobie'] makes his presence felt on offense with his shooting and transition play.
