<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo made its way to Kentucky for a day filled with competitive action for prospects in the class of 2026-2028. In this article we'll break down the standout performers from Team 2 in the 5 on 5 portion</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2393372"],"_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-68c797f6cc020"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really enjoyed seeing the different ways Williams would look to finish at the rim. Hanging in the air and using his body to avoid shot blockers, Williams did an excellent job of shielding himself from rim protectors and scoring around them in the paint. A shifty guard as well, Williams was active trying to attack downhill off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2429606"],"_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-68c797f6cc079"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top 2028 point guards nationally, Lindsay is a special athlete who showed off his effortless explosiveness numerous times on Sunday. Playing above the rim with ease, Lindsay had more dunks than you could count as whenever he got a step past his primary defender he was throwing it down. Lindsay's ability to start, stop and start again makes him so tough to stay in front of and he lived in the paint on Sunday. Whenever a Kentucky prospect is sure to draw national attention it always brings extra publicity to the state's basketball talent and Lindsay is among the next in line to keep Kentucky high school hoopers relevant in the national picture.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2958653"],"_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-68c797f6cc0c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A shooter who didn't mind spotting up a few feet behind the 3-point line, Krohn was making it rain on Sunday. Almost all my notes on his impact in 5 on 5 action was about his perimeter shooting ability, which shows how impressive he was at making perimeter shots. Hope to see more plays like the blocked shot he had when an opposing guard tried isolating on him as I continue to watch Krohn develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874790"],"_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-68c797f6cc102"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top wing guard athletes in western Kentucky, Stricklin was applying a ton of pressure. Able to hang in the air and finish uniquely at the rim, Stricklin had some highlight-reel finishes as well as a couple trips to the foul line. When Stricklin is making shots from the outside consistently he's almost impossible to guard and Stricklin also showed the ability to finish with either hand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2454749"],"_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-68c797f6cc142"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The most effective interior scorer from the forward position at the camp, Orem is already one of the more polished forwards in Kentucky regardless of class despite preparing for his sophomore season. Able to drive and finish with either hand, Orem might've made more layups with his left hand than his right on Sunday. Having crisp footwork on euro steps and pivots is a skill that most would ignore but Orem does it at such a high level it makes things look so smooth and effortless despite being crowded with help defenders whenever he touches the ball. Expect a big season for Orem at Great Crossing as they look to reload after a historic 2025 class that left a legacy at Great Crossing for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
