Leonard is an impressive wing with positional size, length, athleticism and strength. He is a three level scorer with a high basketball IQ who can put pressure on the rim off the dribble. Leonard is also a willing rebounder and has big potential as a prospect in the 2029 recruiting class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3196324"],"_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-6a399359dfe69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With his older brother alongside, Wise helped lead the Titans for a 4-0 showing at LakePoint. The rising sophomore guard scored nearly 20 points per game and displayed his versatility as a scorer. He is a capable shot maker with deep range and has above average quickness allowing him to get into the paint. Like his brother Justin, Brayden has a high basketball IQ, good strength and is a reliable decision maker with the ball in his hands. Expect a rise in our next rankings update for Wise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3535731"],"_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-6a399359dfe94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson proved why he is among the top guards in the state's 2029 recruiting class, averaging 15 points per game for Warriors. Wilson has high level quickness, an excellent command of the basketball and is a creative finisher in the paint. He has a high basketball IQ, changes speeds well and has impressive court vision for a young backcourt prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3535700"],"_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-6a399359dfeb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howell averaged 10 points per game for the Norcross over 4 games and displayed his quickness and ability to get downhill off the dribble. He is an effective finisher in the paint, a capable shot maker and can provide a spark on the defensive end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767540"],"_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-6a399359dfede"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A newcomer to the Wildcats, Hudson got his summer off to a good start in front of plenty of college coaches tracking Wheeler's program. The rising sophomore has a unique combination of size, skill and athleticism with plenty of upside. Hudson can handle the ball and make plays for others, is a capable scorer in the lane and is an improving periemter shot maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3073281"],"_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-6a399359dff0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Townsend had an All-State season for The Heritage School and after a solid spring with the Georgia Stars in the EYBL, has made the move to Gainesville for his sophomore season. He is a combo forward with ideal length and size for his position. Townsend is very effective in the midrange and attacking the rim, while his ball skills and perimeter shooting continue to show progress. He is active on the glass and can also make plays on the defensive end of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
