Five 2027s Who Could Breakout in Class 1A This Winter

Coming off a solid junior year in which he averaged 7.2 points and 3.4 rebounds on 53% shooting, largely off the bench, it wouldn't be a shocker to see him double his scoring and rebounding output as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3620747"],"_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-6a3203db60b50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leach started 21 games for the Comets as a junior, but was usually the fourth or fifth option when he was on the floor. An athletic 6-2 forward who can run the floor, shoot it comfortably out to about 15 feet, and pound the glass on both ends of the floor, he'll step into a much larger role in his senior year following the graduations of their top four scorers. Look for Leach to emerge as one of the best players in the River Valley Conference this winter.</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":"Carter Frank","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Earlham","_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-6a3203db60bf2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Frank is a fantastic athlete who is tough as nails, pulling down a team-high 8.4 rebounds per game as a junior despite being listed at just 5-10. He was good as a junior, scoring 8.3 points to go with his rebounding numbers, but with the graduations of three of the top five scorers from last year's team, Frank will have a chance to star as a senior and averaging a double-double with points and rebounds as a 5-10 guard isn't out of the question.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3343991"],"_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-6a3203db60c3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harris was really solid as the third or fourth option for the Nikes as a junior, averaging 9.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game on 52% shooting. Following the graduation of star guard Shay Stephens, and three of the top six scorers overall graduated, ample opportunity will open up for Harris and a few other standout returnees to thrive. He's an athletic, physical guard who can play bully ball and get to the rim off the dribble as well as dominate games on the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2406217"],"_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-6a3203db60c83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fiery competitor who handles the ball well and can set his teammates up at a high level, Pottebaum posted a 2.03 assist-to-turnover ratio as a junior and will have the ball in his hands even more as a senior following the graduations of a pair of double-figure scorers. He's a solid on-ball defender with a high IQ who could see his numbers drastically improve in his final go-around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
