2029 Rankings Update: Fall Notebook

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Between prospects moving up the rankings and new names jumping in, there are a variety of notes to share on the sophomore class. Here's info on five of them:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2867568"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aebbd577b310"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Over the course of the fall, the more minutes Hackett played in the blue &amp; white the more he looked like a high level contributor for the upcoming season. Between his floor spacing and the fluidity he showed off the bounce, he was effective as a complementary scorer. But what really moved the needle was the intention he put into cleaning the glass. His number of shot attempts (and makes) varied from game to game, but his rebounding - and ball-movement - ensured that he made a positive impact no matter what. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3722054"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aebbd577b369"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With vines for arms and a long stride, Green is a toolsy ball of clay. The defensively-tilted wing instinctively clogged gaps, altered shots everywhere on the floor, and crashed the boards. Offensively, he was a jack-of-all-trades inside the arc. Green drove from the second level, made connective + high/low passes, and scored on hustle plays. He also showed some range on his jumper with shots from the elbow and short corner. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2907021"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aebbd577b3bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An extremely young sophomore, Walker is an offensively-inclined combo guard with real craft to his handle. He created separation off the bounce to get deep into the paint or to get space for pull-up jumpers. Despite his thin frame, he still managed to absorb enough get off shots at the rim and earn trips to the free throw line. Walker's impact on defense might be fueled by what he does on the other end, but his fluidity and tenacity are positive signs for the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2895634"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aebbd577b404"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morrison is a fluid athlete with long limbs, who returned home to the nest after spending his freshman year at Odessa. He has yet to put up big numbers in any singular outing this fall, but kept flashing potential. Off the catch, Morrison showed the acceleration to get a step on the primary defender, the deceleration to evade the help defender, and the length to score over whoever was at the basket. He also displayed the ability to knock down the three ball. The more the game slows down for him and he gets stronger, the more he'll go from prospect to player as a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3830380"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aebbd577b464"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams was on the back end of the varsity roster as a freshman, but, based on what he showed this fall, he's due for a huge uptick in minutes. With his wide shoulders, long arms, and lower body strength, he played with tremendous effort defensively. Williams also earned his keep on the floor by stretching the defense horizontally. He calmly cashed catch-and-shoot threes, and sprinkled in some off the dribble too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
