This young man is a pure athlete and smooth with the ball. His excellent jumping ability allows him to dunk with ease. He has plenty of quickness and recently showed it off with some standout performances at the Pitt Jam Fest against top-tier competition.

He has a high basketball IQ and is a great scorer. On the defensive end, he can pretty much guard anyone on the floor due to his height, wingspan, and speed. He is a super athletic player. Sam has an excellent transition game and finishes well at the rim. He shows ability as a spot-up shooter. Sam is the type of player that coaches want the ball in his hands when the game is on the line. At the Pitt Jamfest, he was a standout player for the Caveman AAU squad. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Radomir Bryzgalov","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Kiski School","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Caveman","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eRadomir Bryzgalov has the size, skill, and athleticism to become a big-time player. As an athletic wing, Radomir excels at stretching the floor with his ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc. But it doesn't stop there — his mid-range game is equally as impressive.Bryzgalov is a great ballhandler for his size, and his physical strength enables him to take the ball to the rim and finish through contact. Often playing above the rim, Radomir delivers thunderous dunks. His smooth athleticism makes his movements on the court appear effortless. Additionally, Bryzgalov is an unselfish player with very good passing skills.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Casey Darr","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Slippery Rock","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eCasey Darr is a player to watch as he continues to develop his game. He already is a quality defender who always seems to get his hands on passes for deflections. His lanky build suggests that he is not yet done growing, which bodes well for his future physical development and on-court presence. Offensively, Darr is a quality spot-up shooter who can knock down shots from deep when left open. As he continues to improve, it's evident that he has the potential to become a more versatile scorer. One area for growth is his ability to drive the ball to the basket and get to the free-throw line. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6645dda02b3b9"} /-->

I wanted to spend some time highlighting some players from counties that don't always get as much attention as some of the other counties in Western Pennsylvania. Here are five players to watch in Butler and Indiana counties.
