<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's a certain edge to this [program_tooltip program_id='2226307' first='Team' last='Loaded VA'] 15U 3SSB group that shows up immediately when you watch them. It's not just the talent — plenty of teams have that — it's the way everything fits together. The ball moves, the energy is consistent, and every player seems comfortable in their role.

He's the type of player who fills up the stat sheet without forcing anything, averaging 11.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game while shooting 61% from the field. His presence on the glass and defensive activity (1.8 steals, 1 block per game) make him a true X-factor who impacts winning in multiple ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3538911"],"_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-69efa7105f7ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Few shooters on the circuit can match what [player_tooltip player_id='3538911' first='Kane' last='Winiarski'] brings to the table.

His numbers — 7.0 points per game on 66.7% shooting from both the field and three — only tell part of the story. He excels in hustle plays, defense, and energy. He performs the little things that don't always show up in the box score.

Their offensive flow, combined with defensive intensity, made them one of the more impressive teams at Session 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Credit goes to Coach Shane Burnette and his staff.
