5 Seniors Ready to Breakout

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here I am taking a look into the 2024 class and seeing which players within the class could have breakout seasons and be a huge asset for their respective teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1450610' first='Caden' last='Culver'] - Skyline HS</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caden is a fantastic shot creator, being able to find his spots on the court smoothly. He is able to make impactful plays with the ball in his hands or not in his hands as he moves well on the court. Culver has an elite deep shot, being able to pull from DEEP. His playmaking ability is elite as he has fantastic vision in finding his open teammates. He is a player who will have a bigger role this season, but will excel in that bigger role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1450604' first='Eli' last='Williams'] - North Central HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eli has been growing his game in a BIG way. He's about 6'4" now and has been evolving on the court smoothly with his frame growing. He moves well, having great speed and ball control. He has a high motor and elite playmaking ability. He handles the ball well and has displayed talents of a Division 1 caliber player. Williams has one of the highest IQ's in the state and elevates all of his teammates while on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1450959' first='Quinn' last='Swanson'] - Mount Vernon HS</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quinn is a walking bucket. He can score with ease against just about anyone. He shoots the ball at a high rate and can launch it from DEEP. He handles the ball nicely, rarely turning the ball over and being able to find his teammates when they are open. He's a top 3 natural scorer within the Northwest Conference as he has shown his ability to drop 30-40 nightly with no problem.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1710013' first='Nick' last='Linhardt'] - Kings HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nick is a player who has already shown his talents and ability to be a top playmaker/scorer in the 1A class. Linhardt will be taking on a bigger role on the offensive side now that [player_tooltip player_id='2478559' first='Cam' last='Hiatt'] is no longer attending Kings HS. Nick stretches the floor smoothly and can create his own shot at a high level. He is going to showcase to people that he can lead the team smoothly and keep Kings playing at a high level despite losing such a big piece of their team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2158603' first='Kayden' last='Stuit'] - Lynden Christian HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite not playing last year, I have heard Stuit will be taking the court this upcoming season. Stuit is already committed to Eastern Washington to play football but his impact on the court will be seen. He is a very athletic, skilled big who stretches the floor smoothly. He attacks with a lot of force, not being afraid to go at anyone. His jumper could use work but after he gets into the groove of things, I think he will do just fine. The Lyncs will have a tough big man duo to stop with Stuit playing alongside [player_tooltip player_id='1457515' first='Jeremiah' last='Wright'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
