<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While many college coaches focus on highly-ranked players, there's significant potential in athletes outside the Top 25.

He is currently averaging 17 PPG, but do not be surprised if he elevates that number as he should be scoring a lot more points in region play. Baldwin is a solid ball handler, he does a good job defensively, and he shoots the ball well. With one more year to go, look for him to continue to refine his skills as a playmaker and a distributor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2861649"],"_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-695fc61ecc4f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sunderland, a 2027 prospect, is enjoying a remarkable season, leading his team in scoring. His consistent performance is noteworthy; he delivers reliable effort every game. Averaging 15 points per game with 8+ rebounds, Sunderland is a well-rounded player.
