<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article I feature the 5 players who are just outside the top 10 at the moment. But that could change in a matter of time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374256"],"_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-6a4ea404ca55c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2374256' first='Clark' last='Elliott'] is positioned just outside the top at #11. He's been making some noise with Prominent Elite this spring and summer thanks to his scoring prowess. He's the type of guard who can score from all 3 levels, and is quite assertive when he starts to feel it. He can also push the pace in transition and he will splash dish it off if the defense collapses. Expect him to continue to fight for a top ten spot, as he has one of the better shooting strokes in the class of 2028 here in Nevada. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2371122"],"_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-6a4ea404ca5fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gianni McGhee takes ahold of the #12 spot after moving back into Nevada. He is almost always utilizing his burst to shake defenders, and also decelerates on a dime if he needs to. In addition to his efficient movement, he has a smoother jumper in his bad and will drain 3's off the dribble. His anticipation and instincts also allow him to get opponents to overplay him. Which opens the door for him to get to the rim occasionally or set up teammates. On the other end of the court, he uses his quickness to mark his man. And he helps his forwards out by finding the ball after rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2434274"],"_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-6a4ea404ca6c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2434274' first='Elizjah' last='Scott'] sits at #13 right now in the latest 2028 rankings. He has the ability to get downhill, and absorbs contact quite well when he looks to finish. He also knocks down corner and wing 3's if he's left uncovered, plus he makes trips to the free throw line frequently. Defensively, he competes with intensity and it's evident that he takes pride in not letting his matchup score. Expect him to be a real difference maker for the Mater East Knights this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633812"],"_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-6a4ea404ca73c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sierra Vista combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2633812' first='Tristian' last='Porter'] lands in the #14 slot. He is notably impactful on offense, where he is a threat to score in bunches. Many of his buckets come from perimeter. He is a catch and shoot guy, never hesitating much if has time and room. However he also gets in the paint every so often. As a defender, his length is his best asset. Look for him to be a leader in the scoring department for the Mountain Lions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2634164"],"_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-6a4ea404ca66f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden has moved up to #15 after the update. He is a do it all guard that makes the most of his downhill drives and transition opportunities. He'll also connect on shots from the outside, and he slashes to the middle for mid range jumpers. When it comes to his defense, he is capable of causing turnovers via block or steal. And he can take it the rest of the way if he picks his opponent's pocket. Overall, there's a lot to like and he's quite athletic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
