This group of rising sophomores impressed with their skill level, perimeter play, and ability to impact the game in a variety of ways throughout the travel season. In this article, we break down the newest additions between 50-59 and what helped each prospect find their way onto the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3582720"],"_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-6a199f4d77b95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slotting in at the top of the list and #50 in the May Rankings Update is [player_tooltip player_id='3582720' first='Thomas' last='Lee']. Lee turned some heads with his play for [program_tooltip program_id='2231960' first='Big' last='Shots SC'] Premier this spring and should take a step forward with an increasingly talented Midland Valley program in the winter. Thomas has good size to play on the wings right now, but if he adds an inch or two and continues to improve his shot, he could be a next-level talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3597208"],"_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-6a199f4d77be7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaden is a new prospect whom I became familiar with during the first part of the AAU season. He can do a little bit of everything to impact winning, including multi-positional defending, two-way rebounding, and scoring in the paint in transition and the half-court. He's got some intriguing physical tools to his game as well, but I don't have his best position nailed down at this early stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2959657"],"_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-6a199f4d77c19"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker was his school's second leading scorer last season at 10.6 points per game and helps make up an exciting 2029 duo for North Myrtle Beach High School and NMB Warriors. Mason is a good shooter in multiple situations: off the catch, on the move, on pull-ups, and in the mid-range. He also has a feel for the big moment, which he showed in my first look at him back in early May. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3597193"],"_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-6a199f4d77c47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Down to the Lowcountry, three Charleston-area youngsters round out the 50s. [player_tooltip player_id='3597193' first='Miles' last='Fullen'] is the first of the three, another very talented 2029 out of Wando High School. Miles is one of the better shooters outside the Top 50, and when he gets hot, he's as good as anyone in the entire rising sophomore class. If he hits another growth spurt, he will catch the eye of college coaches quickly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3582733"],"_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-6a199f4d77c81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This Oceanside Collegiate and [program_tooltip program_id='2842739' first='843' last='Tough'] Shooting Guard checks in at #58 for his debut in the Prep Hoops South Carolina Class of 2029 Rankings. I've been impressed with Hayden's perimeter shooting on multiple occasions, including the first time I saw him this year in Columbia. He can be efficient with low or high volume, and will be used on designed sets to get good looks from behind the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3582732"],"_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-6a199f4d77cac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3582732' first='Cole' last='Rambo'] caps off this list of new additions. Rambo is teammates with Thorn for school and club, and he's slightly more capable of making plays off the dribble. He can play either position in the backcourt because of his shooting and playmaking ability. Cole does have an unconventional release on his shot, but he's proven to be a capable shooter from three throughout the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
