Nevada Live: Rising Senior Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LAS VEGAS — Many of the best high school basketball teams and prospects from California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah made the trip to Vegas for the inaugural Nevada Live Invitational. More than 120 programs packed the Las Vegas Basketball Center - and surrounding high school gyms - to play in front of college coaches in the final scholastic live viewing period of June. Below we break down the class of 2027 prospects who raised their stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2613096"],"_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-6a415e94eefa7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sabir impressed with his dynamic shooting, slashing and driving abilities in transition and half-court offense. The wiry-strong 6-foot-5 guard flashed his deep range consistency off the catch and off the bounce, attacked the rim on straight-line drives and scored through contact around the rim. Sabir has a good chance to sneak into low major Division 1 recruitment conversations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3638392"],"_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-6a415e94ef01c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miles is trending up among Southern California wings with his combination of size, length and a smooth dribble, pass and shoot skill-set. At 6-feet-6, Miles is best when getting into rhythm jumpers off the bounce where he uses his elevation and high release point to shoot over the top of closeouts. The San Diego-based senior is one of the top long-term prospects in that region and has a ton of upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2436266"],"_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-6a415e94ef069"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When locked in, Sanders is one of the most physical and productive wings/forwards in SoCal's 2027 class and he was all that and more at Nevada Live. At 6-feet-4 and with a strong 200-plus pound frame, he was effective in face-up situations where he used his explosive first step and physicality to initiate, absorb and finish through contact in the paint. Sanders is also an underrated passer, active offense and defensive rebounder and versatile perimeter and interior defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2435366"],"_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-6a415e94ef0b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holden's combination of shot-making, defensive toughness and improved on-ball creating for teammates helped lead Harvard-Westlake into the championship game of the Wayne Newton bracket. The 6-foot-2 combo guard took over late in a tight semifinal win over Damien where his pull-up jumper - from three and mid-range, going either way - propelled the Wolverines into the title game. Holden is as solid as they come as a decision-maker, leader and competitor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2815160"],"_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-6a415e94ef0f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conerly has always been one of the more gifted basketball athletes in the 2027 class and now he has become a feature piece after transferring to Bosco from Inglewood. The wiry and smooth 6-foot-6 wing was at his best in transition where he used his fluidity, length and explosiveness to slash to the rim and score on high percentage buckets. The Braves have a brand new team, and have taken some lumps this summer, but Conerly has shown improved feel, pace and decision-making with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2435388"],"_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-6a415e94ef14a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams' impact on winning cannot be understated though it often is because he's not the feature offensive player on a very good Crespi team. The 6-foot-3 wing is a jack-of-all-trades type of prospect whose willingness to defend multiple positions, rebound in and out of his area and operate offensively as a slasher and finisher makes the Celts a really tough out in any game. Williams has been given more responsibility as a ball handler this summer and it has increased his playmaking abilities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2837425"],"_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-6a415e94ef191"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owoborode is among the underrated big men in the state and he showed his defensive and rebounding value at Nevada Live. He was active on the offensive and defensive glass, flashed some defensive versatility and was effective in screen, roll and finish offense. Owoborode is not a featured piece but is a guy who gets things done on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3681160,"_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-6a415e94ef1e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rutledge is one of the most consistent spot-up shooters in all of Southern California who is flying under-the-radar. The 6-foot-5 wing has good positional size, fundamental shooting mechanics with a a fluid and quick release. Rutledge's ability to stretch the floor with consistency should be valued by coaches at the four-year level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
