<p class="text-gray-700">Among the most improved players in the league, Gamble pieced together all the flashes he's shown in years past to play consistent high-level basketball for the 10-0 league champs. Sharing ballhandling duties with presumptive league MVP [player_tooltip player_id='1454260' first='Silas' last='Graham'], Gamble controlled the point of attack on both ends of the floor with his length and quickness. He uses a slick handle and quick first step to get north-south and generate paint touches while also having developed into a reliable shooter from deep with his feet set. His length and slitheriness make him a bothersome defender for opposing ballhandlers as well. Gamble tracks as a priority in the high-academic D3 realm but has inched closer and closer to scholarship-level with his play this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The reasonable pick for most improved player in the league, Ormond went from an unsung background piece a year ago to one of the league's most potent perimeter scoring threats as a senior. Ormond averaged close to 16 points per game in league play as one of two main focal points for the Blue Devils. The rangy wing stands out as a dangerous shooter with a high release and the ability to fluidly connect on the move from both the midrange and perimeter. He moves well without the ball and shows polished footwork when attacking opportunistically in 1-on-1 situations. Ormond profiles as a likely priority for high-academic D3 types with upside to continue to blossom into college.</p>

<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1493066"],"_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-69933d8e08a27"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">The newcomer of the year in the league, Brenner made an instant splash for the new-look Patriots after coming in as a repeat junior from Unionville (PA). Averaging over 17 points per game overall and 16.1 in league play, he continued to thrive as a perimeter shotmaker but also showed added wrinkles in his game as the Patriots' consistent focal point. Brenner was effective putting pressure on the rim as a cutter and rebounder, showing added athleticism as a finisher. He also showed flashes as a playmaker when put in situations to attack advantages off the bounce. Brenner should be on high-academic radars across levels and figures to be the key building block for coach John Cox heading into Year Two with sights on a First Team All-League type season.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PF: [player_tooltip player_id='1661246' first='Timmy' last='Dennis'] (Episcopal Academy/Sr.)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1661246"],"_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-69936342abf22"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Dennis has consistently intrigued with his natural talent over the years but it's fair to say he hasn't always been able to parlay that into consistent production and impact on the floor. Building on a strong AAU campaign, he continued to show real signs of progress as a senior, emerging as a consistent go-to weapon in a mostly younger Churchmen rotation. He's able to keep the game simple by thriving with his combination of size and shooting, spacing the floor from the frontcourt as a trailer or pick-and-pop threat. He showed added confidence this year shooting over weak contests, along with increased polish and aggressiveness attacking closeouts off the dribble to put pressure on the rim. Dennis brings a translatable plug-and-play skillset in a valued role at the next level, with high-academic interest across the entire college spectrum as he considers a potential post-grad year.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">C: Emmanuel "Manny" Butts (Haverford School/Sr.)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406894"],"_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-69936342abfd0"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Butts looked like a future star as a freshman for the Fords, but struggled at times to get his feet back under him as a junior after missing an entire season with an ACL tear. Now back on the court for more than a full year, the high-energy forward looked far closer to his old self throughout his senior season as a consistent double-figure contributor up front. He was effective using his size and athleticism as a finisher inside off dumpoffs or in transition, while also showing growth as a playmaker for himself or others off the dribble from the perimeter. He's being pursued primarily at the D3 level right now but should certainly be on scholarship radars as a potential late add this spring.</p>
