Let's break down some players who could see their rankings boost way up over the next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2956228"],"_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-68db20ac4a8b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rolan is the literal biggest transfer into the state over the summer. Standing 6'10 and only 15, the big fella has a chance to be really good. Right now, he's extremely raw. Eilyjah does seem to have some skills but, like most young bigs, he wants to float around the three point line. Bryan Station is unlikely to need Rolan this season but, moving forward, he could be a big time difference maker in Lexington.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532058"],"_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-68db20ac4a94f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Staying in the same district, Josh Bowman is a potential breakout star for Douglass. Maybe not this season, but soon. An athletic and physical combo guard who excels at attacking the rim, Josh is a two way impact player who continues to show he can get to the rim against most any defender. Bowman still needs to improve his jumpshot to reach his ceiling but he's a very athletic and strong guard who can make a difference with whatever court time he gets this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532041"],"_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-68db20ac4a9bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another talented Sophomore in Lexington, Warren could be a breakout star for Catholic this season. A big point guard who knows how to run a team, Ben should be able to orchestrate the Catholic offense this year after playing a smaller role on varsity last year. With the ability to knock down open threes or get paint touches and attack the rim, Ben Warren could be the biggest sleeper in the 11th region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2843314"],"_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-68db20ac4aa30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Butterworth has only been playing basketball for a couple of years now and his ceiling is really high. It remains to be seen how much more (if any) he will grow but Sam has been training as a wing and shown some quality skill level as a stretch big/wing. As long as his game continues to develop, Butterworth should start to see some scholarship level attention come his way in the next couple of years. He has a chance to be a really good player and make an impact in the 3rd region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
