Sunshine State Surge Top Wings, First Five

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Sunshine State Surge took place this past weekend at Wellington Sports Academy, and a lot of great basketball was played, where a number of prospects stood out for their efforts and play. Let's take a closer look at some of the wings who came to play and made a name for themselves over the 2-day event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Elyas Daubin","_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":"","_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":"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-69fa2362a5a79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daubin has the makings of a high-level prospect. He has great length and athleticism, which allows him to guard multiple positions on defense, and is an excellent rebounder on both ends of the floor. He handles the ball very well, and is smart with the rock, not forcing anything and taking what the defense give him. Keep an eye on this kid as he matures and continues to develop his game, as he is a prospect with major upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3620865"],"_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-69fa2362a5ad3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong-bodied, physical prospect, Garcia, plays the game with energy and emotion, and will do whatever it takes to get the win. He can score on all 3-levels, but excels when attacking the basket and finishing through contact. He's an excellent rebounder who positions himself well on the floor and uses his body to his advantage. Garcia did a little bit of everything for his X-men Elite squad this past weekend, and came home with the championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3625198"],"_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-69fa2362a5b02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Guillaume was one of the more impressive prospects from the weekend. A do it all type of player, he has elite athleticism and excellent leaping ability. He is quick off the floor and a huge asset on the boards. He has great handles and the ability to attack the basket, where he can finish through contact at the rim, but also shoots it a high rate from behind the arc. Guillaume has a ton of upside and should be on every coach's radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3627471"],"_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-69fa2362a5b29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Merreles is an excellent two-way player who affects the game in a number of ways. He has a long wingspan and gets his hands in the passing lanes, where he has knack for getting steals and turning defense into offense. He is very efficient in the transition game, but is also a smart player who is efficient in the half court set. He moves well without the ball and has a nice soft stroke from the outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3010116"],"_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-69fa2362a5b4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A super athletic and fast player, Russell, has the makings of a high-level prospect. He has great size and strength and plays the game fast yet under control. Defensively, he can guard any position on the court and never backs down from an assignment. He thrives in the transition game, and has the ability to create his own shot, whether attacking the paint or knocking down the jumper. Russell has great potential and is a prospect to monitor as he continues to fine tune his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
