Offensively, he has also shown a complete game consistently knocking down mid to long-range jumpers and has been a force on the glass. As I have previously mentioned, I expect Van Allen to have a big role for the Winneconne this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3456401"],"_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-6a67627c35bb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pelton, a 6-2 incoming sophomore, for New Berlin West, has had a great summer for 24:UP. One of the more active players, that I have watched, Pelton is adept at using his athleticism and length to affect the game on both ends of the floor. Offensively, not only a phenomenal rebounder, Pelton has showed that he could fill it up, from everywhere on the court, consistently knocking down 15-22 foot jumpers when not taking it to the rack at will.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2369875"],"_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-6a67627c35c33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelbel, a 6-0 guard, out of Altoona was a name that I had not heard off heading into the summer. Having watched some film, and seen his various stat lines, I can firmly saw that he is having a terrific summer for the [program_tooltip program_id='2076033' first='Wisconsin' last='Playmakers']. With a quick release, and a smooth stroke, Kelbel looks like every bit of the player that shot 45.5 % from distance last season. Watching his game further, his complete offensive arsenal stands out including his relentlessness in getting to the rim and finishing through contact while drawing a ton of fouls. Paired with two returning 20 point scorers, I could see Kelbel joining them as a "Big 3" to help the Railroaders over the hump this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2919477"],"_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-6a67627c35caf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Phillips, a 6-1 guard from East Troy, is another 24:UP product that is making a name for himself this summer. Ranked as the #32 player, in the class of 2029, Phillips has been as unstoppable of a guard that I have watched utilizing a quick first step to put pressure on the defense while making good reads. Phillips, coming off of a strong freshman campaign, looks like he could be the X-Factor for the Trojans this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Summer is more than halfway over and the grassroots season will be picking back up shortly. This week I will be wrapping up my series on players making a name for themselves this summer.
