Cham will play a critical role in that process as the 6-foot-5 wing possesses explosive athleticism around the rim that jumps out at you when he's in the open floor. He gave hints of what was to come in warm-ups throwing down windmill dunks with relative ease. I was pleased to see there's much more to his game though, and throughout the weekend he showed some touch from the mid-range and plenty of defensive tools that make him one of the more intriguing prospect in the Baltimore County Public School landscape.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2722759"],"_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-6a3aa9b54b75c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ogolla spent the weekend teeing off from beyond the arc. Another off-ball guard/wing that I was introduced to thanks to this event, the 6-foot-5 rising junior is primed for a big season with Maret. As you scan the roster, they have a couple of guys who are capable of hanging a crooked number in the scoring column, but if I had to bet on it, Ogolla will consistently lead that effort as they look to make a splash in a very competitive MAC conference this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3268747"],"_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-6a3aa9b54b801"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pallotti enters the 2026-27 season with a roster that no opposition will be excited about playing against. A slew of guards/wings ranging from 6'1"-6'4" who thrive getting downhill, playing a physical brand of basketball and dig their heels in defensively, I'd expect them to pull off a few upsets in the MIAA A Conference this winter. Hill showed off his ability not only to get to the rim, but finish with either hand to evade opposing shot blockers. He drew his fair share of fouls on the way to the cup as he's good at establishing an advantage and using his brute frame to initiate the bump on his defender. Defensively he'll toggle between multiple positions and be able to play up a position or two thanks to his strong frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3598598"],"_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-6a3aa9b54b8a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Overlea and New Town will be in position to battle it out in the county for supremacy and the Titans made their presence known in loud fashion at the event this weekend. Fenwick joined the team last season and provided an immediate scoring punch in the backcourt as a guard who can also initiate the offense while picking his spots. He brings a high level of confidence and moxie to the court and on Saturday, buried three's off the bounce that allowed New Town to establish and maintain a commanding lead against Marriotts Ridge. He can attack closeouts and play off two in the paint where he's a threat to score or find guys like 2027 Josh Jones cutting to the rim for dunks. If he can continue to match the energy on the offensive end to the defensive side, New Town will have one of the more impactful lead guards you'll find in Baltimore County this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3570825"],"_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-6a3aa9b54b93a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright is an under-the-radar prospect in Howard County playing for Atholton who, after a productive sophomore season, should really emerge as one of the main guys for the Raiders. He's a shifty guard in space who can beat his man off the dribble and does a nice job of processing the rotating defense on the weak side to quickly find the open teammate. He's a threat stopping on a dime for pull-ups, looks to jump passing lanes defensively and sees the floor well in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
