Fuller plays with great pace, attacking angles, and generating paint touches for his team on a regular basis. Fuller's ability to get to his spots was a key factor in the Hopp Rays' success, opening up great scoring opportunities for his teammates via cuts and open putback lanes. With a sweet form from outside, look for Tyler to continue his development into a reliable offensive weapon in the years to come.</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":"Chandler Shelton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2031","_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":"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":"X-Men","_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-69fa2af20c63f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Class of 2031 Chandler Shelton was an imposing presence in the paint, holding it down for his X-Men squad to secure the 14U championship. At 6'5, Shelton has phenomenal size and length capable of altering shots at the rim. Chandler also utilizes his length well on the offensive end, whether it be rising up into an elevated pull-up or a baby hook with great touch. Shelton's leaping ability was also a sight to behold with the young man rising up for numerous dunks even through traffic. With his size and fearlessness, best be sure to keep an eye out for Chandler as a potential top prospect in years to come.</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":"Grant Ranglin","_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":"6'0u0022","_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":"Dr. Joaquin Garcia","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Hoop Dynasty ","_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-69fa2af20c684"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grant Ranglin dropped 23 points in his third game at the Sunshine State Surge, knocking down a total of 5 3's in the contest vs. Alabama Muscle. Ranglin has a pure stroke from beyond the arc, capable of knocking down shots both off the catch and off the dribble. Grant was the primary creator for his Hoop Dynasty 16U squad, getting to the rim and finding the open man on a consistent basis. With good size and long arms at the point guard position, Ranglin is a tough matchup for opposing 1s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3555655"],"_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-69fa2af20c6b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After an underwhelming day 1 for Alabama Muscle 16U, [player_tooltip player_id='3555655' first='Zaccheus' last='King'] led his squad to a strong day two, finishing 2-0. King was everywhere on both ends of the floor, contributing as the primary scorer, facilitator, and getting active on the glass. Despite being undersized, King is fearless at the rim, not afraid of attacking taller defenders. At the rim, Zaccheus utilizes a variety of finesse and power finishes, which he can execute with either hand, making him a tough man to match up with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3270754"],"_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-69fa2af20c6d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the final game of day, 1 Josiah Cochran finished with a total of 18 points, in which he showcased his proficiency for attacking the rim with aggression. As a wing, Cochran is a player who excels in the open court, attacking 1on1 matchups with powerful drives and finishes above the rim. Even when matched up against bigger opposition, Cochran's stays with a foot on the gas, looking to drive and make plays in the paint. With continued strength training, Cochran's ability to serve as a slasher will only continue to grow, making him a prospect to certainly keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
