<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo Showcase is right around the corner, giving prospects one more opportunity to put their summer development on full display. For some, it's a chance to show just how much their game has grown, while others will be looking to prove they are ready to take the next step. With plenty of eyes on the gym, this is where players can separate themselves, make a statement, and give us another reason to believe their stock is headed in the right direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Use&nbsp;<strong>Colorado26PH25OFF</strong>&nbsp;at checkout for&nbsp;<strong>25% OFF &amp; receive a custom registered graphic that comes with it!

He saw quality minutes last season, gaining valuable experience and showing he was ready for the opportunity. Quesada brings a good feel for the game, plays under control and has the ability to make smart decisions while creating opportunities on both ends. Now with that experience under his belt, the stage is set for him to take on a much bigger role. The Expo would give Quesada a chance to showcase those skills against quality competition, make an early statement and build momentum before the season tips off. A strong showing could put his name firmly on the radar</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2506299"],"_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-6a9aea551e741"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pino had a strong summer and gained some serious traction on our radar with the strides he made at the point guard position. He showed the ability to facilitate, create for teammates and still put pressure on defenses when it was time to score. More importantly, Pino plays with a steady approach, makes smart decisions and takes ownership of leading his team. The Expo would give him an opportunity to take those qualities into a higher level setting, compete against some of the best guards around and show that his playmaking and decision making translate against top competition. It's a chance to turn summer momentum into real recognition heading into the season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2850007"],"_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-6a9aea551e798"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nelson gained plenty of attention this summer, and it's easy to see why. He brings a strong combination of scoring ability, athleticism and defensive intensity, with the ability to make plays above the rim and impact the game on both ends. We've seen enough on film to know there's a lot to like, but we haven't had many opportunities to evaluate him in person. That makes The Expo especially important. It would give us a chance to see Nelson compete firsthand, measure his game against quality competition and get a better feel for how his tools translate in a live setting. A strong showing could quickly turn that intrigue into real momentum heading into the season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2530898"],"_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-6a9aea551e7e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Littlejohn is an intriguing prospect who left us wanting to see more after the summer. He plays with confidence and a noticeable chip on his shoulder, bringing intensity and purpose to every possession. He does a good job running the offense, understands how to operate within sets and consistently looks to create opportunities rather than simply play within himself. Littlejohn can generate offense for his teammates while also having the ability to get downhill and create his own looks. The Expo would give us a valuable chance to see that competitive edge and offensive versatility firsthand against quality competition and get a better read on just how much his game can impact winning</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2889069"],"_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-6a9aea551e824"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lewis gets a change of scenery and a great opportunity at The Expo to put on full display what we've seen from him over the summers. He's a quick, athletic guard who plays with pace and can put points on the board in a hurry. His ability to attack the paint is a major part of his game, as he uses his speed to get downhill and create problems for defenders. The Expo gives Lewis a chance to take that attacking style into a high level setting, test himself against quality guards and show that his athleticism and scoring ability translate against tougher competition. This could be a big opportunity for Lewis to gain major traction and make a statement heading into the season at a new school</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The Expo Showcase is right around the corner, giving prospects one more opportunity to put their summer development on full display. For some, it's a chance to show just how much their game has grown, while others will be looking to prove they are ready to take the next step. With plenty of eyes on the gym, this is where players can separate themselves, make a statement, and give us another reason to believe their stock is headed in the right direction.
