<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These athletes have found repeated success dating back to their previous high school seasons, although throughout this recent summer, they have been particularly impactful. These prospects were particularly productive from the jump, while building upon their immediate success with reputable performances throughout the club season. Exciting times are ahead of us this high school season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>Raw Production</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='2297879' first='Asher' last='Serlen']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2297879"],"_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-6701643a2489b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Serlen was among the most productive shot blockers in the whole state this previous season. Additionally bringing great hands to contest shot attempts at the rim, the forward is set up to be one of the most impactful rim protectors in the state. His timely rotations are a big difference maker at Standley Lake, mitigating numerous scoring opportunities down low. Serlen has made the bulk of his opportunities out of the pick and roll, adept at slipping screens to receive timely passes deep in the paint.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>Impressive Small School Names</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='2422514' first='Tatum' last='Kocerha']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2422514"],"_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-6701643a248f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kocerha has brought repeated production due to his physical style of play, adept at attacking closeouts for driving lanes. Adept at drawing fouls from drives or second chance putbacks, the forward will be a name to follow yet again at Simla. Steadily improving as a perimeter shooter, particualrly off the catch, Kocerha continues to add gravity out from distance. How the forward continues to grow as a playmaker will be fascinating to follow, especially since he will be the focal point of opponent scouting reports next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='2436214' first='Donovan' last='Whitehead']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2436214"],"_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-6701643a24938"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whitehead brings good size and strength down in the paint, capable of drawing immediate attention once catching the rock. Effective scoring around the rim through contact, they are set up for success in year two at Durango. His footwork has continued to make strides around the paint, adding counters or off-hand finishes to his arsenal. Defensively, the forward's strength and high motor allow him to compete against multiple positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='2422518' first='Tuff' last='Kelley']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2422518"],"_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-6701643a24975"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelley brings in a constant motor on the boards, particularly for second chance opportunities. Playing a pivotal role in McClave's success deep into the postseason, the forward has found immediate success. As he continues to add strength and shotmaking versatility, Kelley could be one of the most productive names in the entire state in due time. As he continues to stretch out his offensive game, there are few areas on the floor where he cannot make an impact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>Sharpshooter</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bo Wisne</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2048130"],"_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-6701643a249cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are not many names in this class who shoot the ball like Wisne off the catch, not to mention the wing is at 6'4+. Adept at hitting the open shot or knocking it down through the contest, the incoming sophomore will be primed for a larger role at Horizon. Among recent showcase events, Wisne displayed growth in his shot selection, leveraging his size and gravity to create driving lanes. Few opponents on the wing can stop him one on one, given his dependable handle versus closeouts and the notable strength at his age. Horizon will be a unique matchup, given their size and skill on the wings, set to bring a unique two-way impact compared to the other programs in the Granite Peaks league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
