He also has an excellent mid-range game. Last season for Meadville, Luteran shot 45% from beyond the arc. He's also an excellent ball-handler. Luteran's leaping ability allows him to play above the rim. His toughness and intensity also shine through on defense where he showcases versatility to guard multiple positions. Luteran is primed for a big senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406036"],"_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-666848ddb60dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nate Wesling has been a centerpiece of Baldwin's success, helping lead them all the way to the WPIAL championship game. Wesling's offensive arsenal is as polished and versatile as they come. He thrives at attacking defenses off the dribble. Wesling's agility and body control allow him to slice through seams and finish acrobatically around the rim. He's also a knockdown shooter from all three levels. What makes Wesling so special is his combination of scoring and physicality. He plays with excellent strength that allows him to absorb contact both as a finisher and shooter. Wesling showcases a high competitiveness, never shying away from big moments. His commitment to skill development is evident, putting in work with his Caveman AAU team this summer.</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":"Avery Collins","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_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":"Erie First Christian Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66685672b057c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Junior Avery Collins announced himself as one of the premier young scorers and shotmakers in the 2026 class with a breakout season averaging 25 points per game last season with Erie First Christian Academy. The 6'1" combo guard already showcases a remarkably polished and diverse offensive skill set. Collins is a gifted ball-handler who thrives creating shots off the dribble. His mid-range game is advanced and a bit of a lost art for young players these days.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398507"],"_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-66685672b05cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2398507' first='Josh' last='Pratt'] has incredibly soft touch around the rim and excellent body control. His tight handle and deceptive change-of-pace ability make him a nightmare for defenders to stay in front of. He has an explosive first step and he thrives at  attacking the rim. He is one of the top prospects in Western Pennsylvania's 2026 class and Pratt recently earned an offer from Pepperdine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1466559"],"_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-66685672b0612"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Calvin Winfrey is an ultra-athletic playmaker. He has an exciting crossover dribble that creates separation. Once he gains a step, Winfrey finishes exceptionally well around the rim with his leaping ability and body control used to contort for acrobatic layups. Winfrey also boasts a steady mid-range jumper and consistent three-point stroke. His ability to pull-up off the dribble from anywhere on the floor makes him a legitimate three-level scorer. In the open court, he finishes well in transition thanks to his open-court speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
