<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keeping up with talent is a tough undertaking, but the game is constantly evolving and as players improve, we have to make sure to find out who has put in the work. Every game and every season reveals new aspects of player growth and development. Here are some players that showed improvement at Zachary High School in some pre-season competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532096"],"_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-69150fd86ebd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Having a peek at Hannan and the style of ball they play it is obvious they play a high IQ style of ball. The ball moves, the players move, and quick decisions have to be made. That requires skill along with in-game understanding. The younger Dantzler demonstrated his skill very clearly. With or without the ball, he is effective on the court, and both sides of the ball get equal attention. With the ball, he can score and facilitate. Off the ball, he is moving and looking for opportunities and is an elite shooter. On defense, the kid is relentless and active. Ranked at #11 in the class, he is a clear next-level player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132738"],"_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-69150fd86ec30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins had a great day shooting the ball. Like many players in a program, your production is measured by your opportunities, but growth comes from the work you put in while waiting. On this day, the work showed. In a tough match-up, Deezy hit big shots just when they were needed. He is a shot maker, and he was cash from the floor knocking down 15 points. Collins is a dangerous weapon on a deep Broncos roster, and he will surely have some big games this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2894296"],"_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-69150fd86ec7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conrad is back and his game is still the same. Conrad can flat-out score the ball. He dropped 28 points, but honestly didn't take many shots. He is an efficient scorer with a firm grasp on the fundamentals of being a bucket. He is stingy with his dribbles and gets right to it. He is a true three-level scorer and can only be controlled by a double team, and then he shows that he is an equally impressive facilitator. Conrad is a next-level player, and with his IQ, he is going to make a college program happy as a point guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532091"],"_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-69150fd86ecbd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Every team needs a secret weapon, and young DT is a sniper. He dropped 20 points in a tough win and served as the resident shooter. If he can see the goal, he can make the shot. He is a quick-release shooter, and I dare say, he is one of a kind in this skill. As soon as the ball touches his hands, he can get it off and hit the shot with efficiency. He also has the one-dribble pull-up in his bag, but it starts at the three-point line, and he moves in from there if you get him off the line. I will call him the Curry of our deep 2028 class. DT gone knock it down in any gym. If you don't believe it, let him see the goal.</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":"Trey Coleman","_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":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Catholic BR","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-69150fd86ed53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coleman was on fire, and his size and athleticism were on full display. He knocked down threes, rebounded the ball, intimidated on defense, and added a big-time dunk over a defender that really set the tone for the full game. I have watched him play in the past, and this 19-point game was the most impressive. This display of diversity on the court makes Catholic dangerous, considering the conversation about their team being young and losing a lot. This could be the signal to throw them back in the mix. Basically, Coleman balled out and could be a problem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned in for more player evaluations from the Zachary Pre-Season event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Keeping up with talent is a tough undertaking, but the game is constantly evolving and as players improve, we have to make sure to find out who has put in the work. Every game and every season reveals new aspects of player growth and development. Here are some players that showed improvement at Zachary High School in some pre-season competition.
