He has a true scorer's mentality from the perimeter, understanding where his spots are and working off actions to consistently get quality looks. His long frame allows him to shoot comfortably over contests, making him a difficult matchup when coming off screens or relocating off the ball. Hilldale also shows a high IQ, reading defenders well and creating space without needing much separation. While his shooting stands out most, his footwork and touch give him the ability to attack downhill and finish when defenders overplay the jumper. With his combination of size, shooting, and feel for the game, he's a prospect with a lot of upside. </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":3635178,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Bear Bridges","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_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":"Atlanta Select ","_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-6a028b364ebd9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bear Bridges is a dynamic perimeter threat who excels playing out of ball screen situations. He reads defensive coverages well and takes advantage whenever defenders give him space, especially by going under screens. Bridges is comfortable shooting from long range and has shown the ability to consistently knock down shots from the outside. Off the the ball, he does a great job relocating, using screens, and setting screens to create clean looks. His feel for spacing and timing stands out, allowing him to impact the game without needing the ball in his hands every possession. With his shooting ability and understanding of the game, he has the tools to be a tough matchup for defenses moving forward. Definitely a prospect to watch as he continues through his high school career. <br><br><br><br></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":3635191,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Will Truewind","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_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":"Elite 1 Basketball","_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-6a028b364ec91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Truewind fits the mold of a valuable 3-and-D player with polished shooting mechanics and the ability to catch fire from deep. He has a strong feel for moving without the ball, using screens effectively and finding open windows along the perimeter to create quality shots. Beyond his scoring, he keeps the offense flowing by making smart extra passes and understanding how to play within the system. His basketball IQ and awareness consistently stand out on both ends of the floor. When his shot is falling, he can quickly shift momentum and provide a major spark for his team. With his skill set and understanding of the game, he projects as a player who can contribute at the college level and is definitely a prospect worth tracking moving forward.</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":3635216,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Dillon Robinson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Willow Spring High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"[program_tooltip program_id='2078500' first='Garner' last='Road'] 3SSB ","_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-6a028b364ed79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson is a dangerous scorer who consistently keeps defenses stretched with his shooting ability. He stays ready to fire on the catch and needs very little time or space to get his shot off, making him a dangerous option from beyond the arc. Robinson shoots with confidence and has the kind of range that forces defenders to stay attached at all times. He also brings toughness and effort on the glass, battling for rebounds and creating extra possessions with his activity level. Athletically, he's capable of much more than just shooting, showing the ability to finish above the rim and attack through contact when driving to the basket. His combination of shooting, physicality, and energy makes him a valuable two way piece who impacts winning in multiple ways.</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":3635231,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Owen Hancock","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Wesleyan Christian Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"[program_tooltip program_id='2399240' first='Dub' last='Salem']","_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-6a028b364ee29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hancock is the type of shooter who has that swag and confidence. He's a dangerous off-ball scorer with deep range, a fast release, and constant movement that keeps defenders chasing all possession long. With the ball in his hands he's a point guard with a tight handle and great feel for evaluating the floor to find advantages. He shows his high level shooting doing little things like being shot-ready, finding the seams fast, and great footwork going both ways. His willingness to fire without hesitation forces defenses to stay extended well beyond the arc. Even with tight coverage, he has the mechanics and confidence to knock down tough perimeter shots. Players with his combination of movement shooting, range, and scoring mentality are tough to contain.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

It's been a fun spring with plenty of guys showing the ability to light it up from beyond the arc. Here are a few players I think are flying under the radar and proving to be some of the top shooters in the South.
