<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These prospects shinned with their play in April. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421234"],"_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-680a68017dcd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Starling did a great job of doing whatever his [program_tooltip program_id='2076999' first='Team' last='Melo'] team needed him to do to help secure a victory. He was able score off the ball from behind the arc. He found ways to get to the foul line. Starling also came up with rebounds and steals on defense. Starling is tracking as a scholarship prospect with continued development and consistency. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2506065"],"_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-680a68017dde8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Craig provided a spark with his all around activity on either end of the floor. He was able to showcase his feel for the game finding others for scoring chances of their own. He was active on the glass finding ways to collect boards. Craig showed that he could fill the lane. He found different ways to put the ball in the basket. He is a tad in-between positions which can make him a viable plug and play option. He showed off his ability to slash to the bucket. He also got to the foul line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2440984"],"_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-680a68017de34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ragland is a wide bodied forward who likes to throw his space eating frame around in contact. He showed flashes spacing the floor. Ragland scored around the paint. He showed he can pass the ball and found others for scoring chances. Ragland is a threat to make a play whenever the ball is in his hands. He just finds ways to stay relevant in the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2625798"],"_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-68188fb18e13f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Got paint touches with his downhill tenacity. Showcased his scoring arsenal effortlessly finding the cup in different ways. Didn't get fazed by double teams and didn't let ball stick to hands. Despite his small stature he was a smart defender around the bucket and stayed home with his arms straight up forcing offenses tough scoring looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2833843"],"_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-68188fb18e19a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wucherpfennig is a stout space eater who makes a living on the interior. He is able to alter shots and has great timing going up for blocks. He is a magnet on the boards putting himself in great spots to get find rebounds. He does a good job running the floor. Wucherpfennig is effective out of the two man game and is an effective screener for his guards, if he sets a screen on you good luck getting around him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These prospects shinned with their play in April.
