Who Rose in June? Teams and Players That Made Their Mark

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Death, Taxes, and Olympus is Still Good</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If there is one thing I have learned from moving to Utah 17+ years ago, it is that it does not matter who Olympus has; they will find a way, and they will develop someone to take over the scoring. With one of the best seasons in recent memory, Gavin Lowe has moved on to the college level as he is now at Weber State University. This time around, the Titans will look to Davian Lazarus, who will take over the scoring, and with a solid amount of experience, he will have some good players under his wing that will be important pieces around him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look for players like James Jackson and Kirabo Nadauld to step up for them as they look to complete another 20-win season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mat Barnes will enter year 34 and is 23 wins away from winning his 600th game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Steady and Ready to Produce</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2673550"],"_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-6a4457fd47026"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When it comes to players that are efficient and will produce one way or another, Tolman is near the top of the list regardless of class. He impacts the game with his high-motor rebounding. He is a ball mover, and he just plays hard all the time. He brings a lot of grit to the floor, and that is what makes him stand out when other players might be flashier or scoring a ton of points. Tolman hits the floor ready to work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Davis: Building With Their Youth</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the past, Davis has always had a heavy rotation of seniors, but this group they have coming up is full of hungry underclassmen who are ready to make a push to play. Bode Sparrow has just committed to Oklahoma for football, and he will be amazing on the field, but he will also be a great leader on the hardwood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players that will be solid and that are ready to make some noise are:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graham Moultrie</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owen Barney</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke Wray</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cole Klaumann</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player Ready to Blow Up</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2274390"],"_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-6a4457fd4709a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talk about a kid who has trusted the process and bet on himself.
