A sharpshooter who can hurt opposing teams with his three point shot, mid range and pull up jumper. He's smart player making the right reads on the court whether it's knowing when to pass or score. He does have the ability to make tough shots and has a tight and quick handle to free himself from defenders. Also is really good at using his body to guard the ball away from defenders when driving in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1583465"],"_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-66fd5f7c89708"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last Season - 21 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A shifty and strong guard, David is able to score a lot of points off driving in the lane and converting on contested lay ups or touch shot over a defender. He has good body control in the paint, quick and effective handles, and a good mid range jumper. He's tough to guard in transition and gets a lot of transition points off of steals from his scrappy defense. Can knock down threes and has a good size up into a jumper. You can expect Coe to help Kimball make a deep run in the state playoffs this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1358644"],"_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-66fd5f7c89748"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last Season - 17 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Monta is a smart and shifty ball handler who uses his handles to create opportunities for himself or his teammates. He's a fast guard and makes it hard for defenders to stay in front of him often blowing by defenders. He's crafty in the lane and has a good variety of moves to score with when driving in the paint. Has the ability to change his pace and play off screens. Can be a lethal three point shooter when hot and has the ability to shoot off the dribble.</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":"Ja'Den Stiggers","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_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":"Manor New Tech","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"J-UNO ELITE","_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-66fd5f7c897d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last Season - 18 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ja'Den is an aggressive guard who looks to score any opportunity he gets. He has great touch around the rim and shows this by making difficult and crafty lay ups. He also has the athleticism to finish strong at the rim with either dunks or hanging in the air and finishing with contact. Has a good mid range pull up jumper and has good footwork when at his spots within the paint. His motor is high and helps set the tone for his team. </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":"Paul Gumbert Mendoza","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Wimberley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Hays Hornets","_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-66fd5f7c8984e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last Season - 19 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With good speed and a high IQ, Mendoza is a tough player to contain. He's good at spacing the floor in transition and usually makes the right read. He'll go finish a fast break lay up or pull the ball back out if it's the smarter option to do. He has a good handle and good agility that he uses to his advantage to get past defenders and score at the rim. Can make deep threes and has the ability to cross over into a three.

Can get shots off over defenders because of his size and quick release. He's effective and consistent when shooting the mid range or three. He plays well off the dribble creating a chance for him to score in the paint with his quick first step and handles. His size and athleticism helps him get many rebounds including put backs off an offensive rebound.
