Let's take a closer look at some of the SWFL prospects who have stood out this fall season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3686586"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab6c69224081"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bexfield is in line to be one of the Shark's main scoring options this season. The rising junior is coming of a solid sophomore campaign, and has put together quite an offseason so far. He has great length and is capable of guarding multiple positions on defense. He is a smart player who rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the court. Bexfield has the ability to finish around the basket, but excels with his outside shooting, where he shoots the 3-ball at a very high rate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3686584"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab6c692240c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A super athletic prospect, Russ, has the ability to effect the game in a number of ways, both offensively and defensively. He excels in the transition game where he can show of his speed and leaping ability. He is quick and explosive off the floor, making him a huge asset on the boards for the lightning. The 6'5" SF is an excellent shot blocker, but also has the ability to stick with the small, quicker guards. Russ has a decent mid-range game, but thrives when attacking the basket, where he can finish through contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Brayden Grossenbaugh","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Canterbury","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab6c69224131"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An excellent 2-way player, Grossenbaugh, will be a key piece for the Cougars this upcoming season. He has excellent handles, and is a smart player who is always looking to get his teammates involved. The 5'11" CG has the ability to beat you off the dribble and attack the basket, or stop on a dime and knock down the mid-range jumper, and he is also very efficient from behind the arc. Grossenbaugh is scrappy defender who also rebounds the ball very well from the guard position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3679932"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab6c69224169"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The transfer from Oasis, Labbe, has settled in quite nicely with his new Cape Coral squad. The 6'4" SF has tremendous athleticism and leaping ability, allowing him to create mismatches, both offensively and defensively. He is quick off the floor and an excellent rebounder on both ends of the court. He does a good job keeping his hands in the passing lane, where he looks to force turnovers and turn defense into offense, where he likes to get out and run in the transition game and play above the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3703763"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab6c69224196"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The sharpshooting junior from Port Charlotte, Ryan, is primed for a big junior year with the Pirates. The 5'11" PG has both quick feet and quick hands, and does a great job of staying in front of his opponent. He has an excellent basketball IQ, and is a gritty player who just wants to win. Ryan attacks the basket with no fear, but really excels as a knockdown shooter. He gets tremendous elevation on his jumper, where he is very effective in the mid-range, and has unlimited range from behind the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
