<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Top Standouts from the 17U Slam Blue Division : </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3475974"],"_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-6a0379a7e723e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Luca was the leading scorer in the entire 17U division, averaging an impressive 29.0 PPG throughout the weekend. Pure scorer with a shooter's mentality and the confidence to take over games offensively. Exploded for a game-high 33 points and had multiple stretches where he simply looked unstoppable. Can fill it up from deep range with consistency and puts constant pressure on defenses with his shot-making ability. Tough competitor who plays to win and embraces big moments. One of the most productive offensive performers at the event.<br><br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2085879"],"_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-6a0379a7e72b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryce was the second leading scorer in the division, averaging 25.3 PPG while consistently producing at a high level. At 6'4”/6'5”, he plays much bigger than his size and brings a strong, physical presence on the floor. Uses his wide, powerful frame to finish around the basket and consistently overpowers defenders, even against taller matchups. Built like a football player, he bullies his way to the rim through contact and creates steady production in the paint. Strong low-post scorer who rebounds the ball with force and competes with toughness on every possession.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also showed advanced passing ability and a good feel for the game, making plays for teammates when defenses collapsed. Solid agility for his size and a competitive edge that stands out. Overall, a tough, versatile guard/wing who impacts the game in multiple ways and continues to trend as a strong Division I or 2 prospect.</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":"Brendan Murphy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_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":"TN United 17","_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-6a0379a7e7374"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brendan is a dynamic scoring guard who finished as the third leading scorer in the division at 21.3 PPG. Shows a strong feel for the game and plays with natural shot-creation ability, using his handle and quickness to generate consistent offense. Effective creating off the bounce with good agility and burst to get to his spots. Shoots the ball at a high level from three with confident, efficient mechanics and strong shooting instincts. Tough competitor who competes on both ends and consistently impacts the game as a perimeter scoring threat. One of the more impressive shooting guards in the division with the ability to stretch defenses and score in bunches. Solid mid-major prospect who will continue to draw attention from college coaches during the live period with performances like this.</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":"Baylor Roach","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_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":"DB Elite","_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-6a0379a7e7410"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baylor averaged 20.0 PPG throughout the weekend and consistently impacted the game as a steady offensive presence. Possesses a high basketball IQ and plays with good pace and decision-making. Scores effectively in transition and shows the ability to create off the dribble, keeping pressure on defenses in multiple ways. Reliable perimeter scorer who understands how to operate within the flow of the game and contribute in key moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2523970"],"_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-6a0379a7e7468"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elijuwon is a quick, dynamic lead guard who averaged 19.3 PPG over the weekend. Plays with pace and confidence as a primary ball-handler, consistently putting pressure on defenses. Has a quick, compact release that allows him to get shots off efficiently, especially in rhythm situations. Solid lead guard who can score in bunches and set the tone offensively while controlling tempo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
