Getter has good positional size, shooting range from beyond the arc and a high basketball IQ. The rising junior moves well without the basketball in his hands and is an asset on the defensive end as well. A high academic prospect, expect Getter to garner interest from college programs around the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528158"],"_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-6a567fc900768"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the nation's top prospects in the 2028 class, Hayes continued his impressive offseason averaging 16.4 points for [program_tooltip program_id='2076604' first='Atlanta' last='Xpress'] over 5 games. A high level athlete with with elite size and length on the wing, Hayes can score at all three levels and has become a playmaking threat. The rising junior can create his own shot off the dribble and has all the physical characteristics to be one of the best defenders in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2802209"],"_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-6a567fc9007ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another high level prospect from the [program_tooltip program_id='2076604' first='Atlanta' last='Xpress'] 16u team, Wilson scored 14 points per game over the weekend during UAA Session 3. One of the top athletes in the class, Wilson has improved as a perimeter shot maker and shot creator off the dribble. He plays with good pace and his threat as a shot maker, has open up more driving lanes for Wilson to get downhill and finish at the rim. The rising junior has plenty of upside and is an intriguing prospect to watch over the next 12 months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3553058"],"_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-6a567fc900806"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avaliani is a versatile forward for the Atlanta All-Stars. The 6'6 rising junior has inside/outside scoring ability including being comfortable playing on the block and the ability to stretch the floor with shot making. He has a high basketball IQ, moves well without the ball and can play through contact. Avaliani is also a high academic prospect, which should elevate his recruiting profile in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470471"],"_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-6a567fc900851"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caldwell impressed at both ends of the floor for Redline's 16u team last weekend. The 6'6 forward has great length, high level athleticism and a motor that never stops. He is relentless on the glass and can straight line drive the ball and finish above the rim. At the defensive end, he uses his mobility and strength to guard in the post, keep perimeter players in front of him and be switchable onto almost position. Caldwell is a 2028 prospect with big potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
