A dual-sport athlete with excellent timing, he could be a much-needed glass cleaner if he focuses on rebounding. Defensively, he displays good help-side rotations.

A move from the upper 30s in three-point percentage to the 50s is within reach. His improved shooting will not only elevate his own stock but also benefit a team fresh off a 20-win season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6'2 G Derek Peterson, Bingham High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Peterson is another dual-sport athlete, leveraging his volleyball experience, which has directly enhanced his rebounding ability.

His most impressive attribute is his consistent rhythm when shooting, even when operating beyond the arc in pick-and-roll situations. He can get to the rim and is an under-the-radar prospect who should rise. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6'0 PG [player_tooltip player_id='2446881' first='Carter' last='Milbourn'], Riverton High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Milbourn is an exceptional shooter with a knack for breaking down zones. He excels at running the baseline and consistently knocks down shots from beyond the arc, whether it's from the top of the key or the wings.

He is poised for a significant breakout this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
