Battle in Seattle: 2028 Rising Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a recap of some of the top rising 2028 guards I got to watch at the Battle in Seattle at the beginning of the month. Watch out for these players as we get ready for next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2954844"],"_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-6a64f9c1d99d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Depell is a pretty poised and hard-working point guard who will do whatever is needed. He played a big role with Selah throughout this past winter season, and then stepped right into another big role with Seattle Select's 16u UAA team. He will get teammates involved, take care of the rock, and showcased some of his scrappy personality at the Battle in Seattle with his ability to sneak in and contribute on the boards. Has great vision and instincts which helped him track some longer rebounds, time his crashes, and tip out some rebounds to teammates. He does a ton of little things that help keep them going the right direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2627288"],"_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-6a64f9c1d9a52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bremerman put in a solid weekend of work at the Battle in Seattle, and continues to steadily get better and better. He was on from the get go, knocking down shots from each level, working off the catch and the dribble, and scoring efficiently with his touches. Continued to chip in with little plays on both ends of the floor, but really looks like a more potent scoring threat and is a riser to watch in this 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2625619"],"_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-6a64f9c1d9ae2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shareef-Dulaney possesses some special playmaking and shot-creation skills, and showed both with some creative moves to work through multiple levels of defenders over the weekend. His creativity, paired with a big motor and quick reactions, helps him constantly get into dangerous areas and showcase his special finishing ability. Also played some solid perimeter defense and did a great job advancing the ball early in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2838362"],"_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-6a64f9c1d9b8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner is another guard in this 2028 class with some special shot-creation ability. He showed off his shot-making with some great footwork to get separation and score from different levels. Also made some smart passes in transition to work for open buckets in advantage situations. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2729711"],"_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-6a64f9c1d9bf1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julmist has really progressed over the past year in terms of his athleticism, and it's allowed him to be a more well-rounded player. He showed that athleticism with an easy two and dunk on the break, but it also appeared with some great crashes on the offensive glass, the strength to power through contact and draw fouls, and with his burst and speed running the floor and making cuts to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
