Northern Nevada 2027s On The Rise: Prospects With Grit

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article I feature 7 prospects from up North who work hard on both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2449393"],"_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-6a7d2075dd21a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2449393' first='Eli' last='Benna'] is Bishop Manogue's floor general and he'll look to lead them to even more success this year. He stays patient and will wait for things to open up. However he can also dart inside when the opportunity arises. I also like how he searches for his shooters, and will kick out dimes often. On the other end of the court, Benna gets after it. Applying consistent ball pressure and is absolutely the type of player who picks pockets when is opponents aren't careful.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2286665"],"_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-6a7d2075dd2a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2286665' first='Jamahl' last='Jackson'] brings a good deal of intensity to the table for the Miners. He will relentlessly crash the boards on both ends of the court. And he'll score second chance points. He also utilizes his anticipation skills to block shots on defense and alters them as well. His ability to do whatever the squad needs makes his teammates lives much easier, and I believe his production is set to go way up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2812150"],"_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-6a7d2075dd2f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Snowdon Bear Williams is a prospect that plays with real hunger. He is locked in from the opening tip and stays laser focused on the task at hand until the whistle. On offense, Williams has enough speed to burn his defender and he'll score buckets in transition as well. On defense, he is one of the more pesty 2027s I've seen. And he'll help produce turnovers with his active hands. Look for him to make some noise for Spring Creek in his senior campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2286669"],"_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-6a7d2075dd346"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2286669' first='Veo' last='Dizon'] uses his long strides and suddenness to get a bucket on offense. He'll also capitalize on catch and shoot chances when left open. In addition to his scoring, Dizon will jump in passing lanes on defense. And can come up with both steals and deflections. Considering his overall skillset and athleticism, I believe he'll see an uptick in his minutes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3558074"],"_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-6a7d2075dd392"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3558074' first='Nolen' last='Francis'] is another Spring Creek player on this list. He is a scrappy guard that can make his matchup uncomfortable on defense. Never giving his man much breathing room. While on offense, Francis can slash a bit. And he'll convert tough finishes. With his motor, I think he very well may stuff the stat sheet this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450997"],"_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-6a7d2075dd3de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3558153' first='Dylan' last='O'Brien'] can be a playmaker on both offense and defense. On offense, he moves around off ball and can help stretch the floor with his 3 point shooting. On defense, O'Brien marks his man well thanks to his energy and IQ. All in all, he's effective when he's out there and I believe his role will increase this fall/winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3173772"],"_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-6a7d2075dd44c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jahreis (pictured) is a prospect with a ton of upside, and I think his stock is set to go up in the coming months. He is an impactful player on defense. Where he contests and blocks shots regularly. He is also a marksmen on offense, and not many players can alter his attempts due to his size and stature (6'7). Beyond his shooting, he makes smart reads as well. And will throw it ahead to his guards for fast break points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
