<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amidst the new players added to the rankings, guys some guys leveled up, earning a bump up. Here are a few of note:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2759059"],"_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-6a4c5957b66bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">No one has proven more over the past month than Abdurrafi. He brought the intensity on defense with his all-around disruption and contribution on the glass. His output on that end is more impressive given his increased offensive usage. Abdurrafi hunted shots without dominating the ball, often catching off of screens and attacking closeouts with shots from every level. The Wildcats winning with him as their best #1 option on offense and an impact defender is a good sign of things to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2735032"],"_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-6a4c5957b66ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Without ever really trying to score, Glanden is often the catalyst for good offense. With the Central and with Running Rebels, he mapped the court so well, able to easily locate teammates and throw dimes their way. And without a crazy handle, Glanden got where he needed to in order to force rotations. Then, when he was on defense, he racked up steals and unselfishly kicked the ball ahead so others could score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2371045"],"_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-6a4c5957b6712"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lee Jr was on a roll in June, showcasing his two-way ability in front of college coaches. He stuffed the statsheet on defense by forcing turnovers and closing out possessions with rebounds. Offensively, Lee Jr maintained advantages with his quick decision-making. When he wasn't knocking down spot-up threes, he was getting to his spots for jumpers and to the baja, where he finished through contact. After the Rider University Team Camp, he picked up his second offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2449700"],"_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-6a4c5957b6732"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meko had a busy spring off the court, becoming Student Council President, but in June he reminded people that he can hoop too. The 3 &amp; D guard got loose behind the arc, hitting multiple jumpers from deep. His ability to shoot off of movement added a different dynamic to the Sallies offense. And when the other team had the ball, Meko brought a lot of energy as a team defender and on the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2534590"],"_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-6a4c5957b6750"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Neurell's effort to reshape his body has already begun to pay off with his high school and grassroots teams. His moves inside the arc looked quicker, jap-stepping and driving to the cup or getting off layups over his left shoulder. Neurell demanded attention on the perimeter too because he hit pull-up and catch-and-shoot threes. Lastly, his improved conditioning allowed him to play for longer stretches and crash the boards even harder. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
