Illinois Tune-Up: Teddy’s 2027 Forwards/Bigs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now it's time to look at forward evaluations from the 2027 class based on the games I covered last week in Romeoville. I'll have evaluations from the 2028 and 2029 classes from that event in the coming days.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2877543"],"_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-6a4d1a61e806c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I love the potential he displays as a 6'9" small forward for [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] and LFA. His interior post play and defense make him more than capable of playing as a power forward with his size. But his length and athleticism to fly an over the floor can make him a great small forward, too. Catch-and-shoot potentials are definitely there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2834472"],"_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-6a4d1a61e80b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An intriguing post player for [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] in his class that really stood out with his rebounding. He's got a highly physical frame with huge hands to complement. As a scorer, his frame allowed for some strong conversions on the near post, as well as forcing a turnover defensively which kept [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] in their game late.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2407001"],"_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-6a4d1a61e80de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lopez is a 6'6" forward out of Glenbrook North who does all the little things you want I. A stretch-four prospect for smaller schools. Shows great hustle and noses out super efficiently on the glass. He also sets screens at a high clip and isn't afraid to let it fly from deep. The kind of glue guy for his AAU Hoops4Health squad which helped them find tons of success when watching his team. Play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3689198,"_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-6a4d1a61e80ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'8" big man from TheWork and Shepard high school looked dominant at times with his physical strength and versatility on the low block. All over the boards in the game I covered vs [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] with included multiple put-back finishes. A valuable presence as a defender to cut off passing lanes in the paint while preventing inside buckets from guards. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
