Six Players Who Separated Themselves

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every player was evaluated the same way. No rankings. No reputation. Just basketball. These six players separated themselves in different ways. Each showed traits that translate to winning and deserve a closer look.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3715072,"_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-6a724070df779"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mason doesn't win with size. He wins with toughness. His feet never stop moving. He competes on every possession. He sees the floor well. He understands where teammates need to be. His voice is getting stronger. That comes with experience. As he grows into a leadership role, expect him to become an extension of the coach on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2555708"],"_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-6a72607bd5340"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bowens can flip a game in two or three possessions. The athleticism jumps off the floor. He competes every trip. There is no coast in his game. He gets downhill and finishes. The jumper is coming. When that shot becomes consistent, defenders will have no answers. His ceiling is high because of his athletic intangibles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3524456"],"_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-6a72607bd53c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'9", Brody has tools you can't teach. Long arms. Good feet. He covers ground with ease. He rebounds outside his area. He protects the rim. He doesn't back down from bigger players. A matchup with a 6'10" post didn't change his approach. He kept battling. He kept competing. The physical tools are obvious. Now it's about stacking reps. Brody will be attending Wimberly High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3715091,"_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-6a72607bd5454"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 5'9", he makes the right play. He makes strong decisions. If he makes a mistake, he corrects it. You won't see it twice. He keeps teammates involved and gets to his mid-range spots with confidence. Leave him in the corner and he'll make you pay. He buried multiple threes from the corner and continues to stretch the floor within the offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3715095,"_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-6a72607bd54e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaden takes pride in guarding the ball. He stays in front. He makes every catch difficult. He plays with toughness. He competes every possession. His offensive game is growing. He can create his own shot. He is becoming more comfortable creating for teammates. Don't overlook him. He is going to surprise people this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3715109,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3715110,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a72607bd5590"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3715109' first='Kory' last='Harrison'] is a long, explosive athlete. He doesn't chase stats. He makes winning plays. He rebounds. He defends. He runs the floor. Playing up has forced him to mature early. The game has slowed down for him. He lets the game come to him.

His playmaking continues to improve. He creates offense without taking his team out of rhythm. He pressures the ball. He competes on the defensive end. Strength will be the next step. Once his body catches up, he'll be ready for the physical demands of a high-level schedule.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
