2028s in Prime Position to Make an Impact Next Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Entering their first year as upperclassmen, these rising juniors are likely to be on a lot more radars come this time next year:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2451394"],"_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-6a297f0b08103"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chase is a speedy guard who can get things done in a hurry on the offensive side of the ball when given the opportunity. He's extremely comfortable shooting off the dribble and has great balance and footwork when doing so. With a mass exodus of seniors leaving Clinton County, Chase will likely be relied on to lead the ship on all fronts for the Bulldogs and is capable of doing so.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2395870"],"_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-6a297f0b083bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">JD operated well as PG1 for Coach Sutton as a sophomore and will be expected to do so next season too. With the departure of Fern Creek's leading scorer due to graduation, however, he'll be relied upon to help fill the void. Luckily, he has the tools necessary to become a double-digit scorer for the Tigers. He's extremely crafty as a facilitator, creates for himself and for teammates at a high level, and is a confident shooter from deep. Don't be surprised if he's one of the best guards in the 6th region next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532049"],"_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-6a297f0b081f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Charlie has a high-level understanding of the game. He's extremely deceptive off the dribble and has the type of wiggle that can leave defenders looking lost. He played in every game for the Bears last season and should be a more significant rotation piece in the near future. His 17U reps with [program_tooltip program_id='2414167' first='502' last='Elite'] this summer will serve him well in the feat along with his confidence. Expect a lot more people to be familiar with his name come this time next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2826349"],"_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-6a297f0b08317"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">DaJuan is one of Jtown's best kept secrets. He can score, he can handle the ball, he can facilitate... all the attributes needed for a varsity-level guard. He mainly operated as a catch-and-shoot threat for the Chargers last season and did so at a high clip (40% 3fg). While his shooting will surely come in handy next season, his squad's success will be heavily reliant on his ability to get it done in a variety of ways on the offensive side of the ball. DaJuan has the goods necessary for a breakout season come December. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2966590"],"_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-6a297729cd1f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avery is on the cusp of a high impact season for the Panthers. His confidence, more than anything, could be the most significant factor in his ability to contribute. With key pieces lost to graduation, they'll need efficient shooters and solid defenders to step up, and Avery could be the guy. He shot nearly 40% from three last season and flashed abilities to finish through traffic. If he can match up to the physicality at the varsity level on a consistent basis, Avery could turn a lot of heads next season.</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":"Jonah Brady","_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Western","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_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-6a297729cd2b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kentucky's 2028 class is so loaded that there are high level ballers still going under the radar, Jonah being one of them. He was the second leading scorer last season for a Western squad that will look very different come December thanks to graduation. His 43/39/80 shooting splits, however, indicate that Jonah is primed to flourish with more reps. He's a three-level scorer who has the skill, strength, and confidence necessary to have huge breakout season when the time comes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
