<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>May has just begun in what looks to be a promising summer ahead for a number of individuals. Players are getting comfortable with new teammates. Star-studded teams are beginning to gel. Now is the time to highlight the best of the best. The prospects who are getting it done. The prospects with production and potential!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1277700"],"_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-69ebe15abd21d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Kayla's</strong> playmaking ability was on full display at EYBL Session 1: 5 assists per game (tied for 2nd in the 16U division). She sees the floor at a very high level. Has the size and IQ you're looking for. Dangerous spot-up shooter with range. Displays good mechanics, balance, and lift on her jumper. <strong>Kayla</strong> has the ability to provide a scoring punch whenever necessary. She has a nice strep-through in the lane while weaving her way to the basket. Makes tough finishes with either hand. Plays with excellent pace. Handles ball pressure well. Legit floor general who gets it done on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jaedyn Koshiba","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Punahou","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"I Mua","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69e96c86d3c3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Jaedyn</strong> had an impressive showing at HHH SoCal Spring Fling. She scored in double figures all 5 games, making the All-Tournament team in the 17U Gold division! How does she get it done? <strong>Jaedyn</strong> is elusive with the ball in her hands. LETHAL mid-range pull up. 3-level scorer who knows how to get to her spots. Productive offensive player on and off-the-ball. Competes hard defensively. Pushes the tempo and takes advantage of easy scoring opportunities. <strong>Jaedyn</strong> has a natural, effortless feel for the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gwen Julianel","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Santa Margarita","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Cal Storm EYBL","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ebde933a4dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Gwen's</strong> game translates to the next level. Emerging 3&amp;D prospect. Fluid wing with length, versatility, and a soft shooting touch. <strong>Gwen</strong> has good speed in the open floor. Can take it coast-to-coast with the ball in her hands. Uses her long arms to generate several deflections throughout the course of a game. Quick trigger in catch-and-shoot situations. <strong>Gwen</strong> had 16 points on 7-12 shooting in her EYBL Session 1 debut a few weeks ago. Legit two-way prospect with high-upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262295"],"_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-69ec3393bdc3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Charlotte</strong> has gotten off to a terrific start to begin the 2026 AAU season. She can create her own shot with ease. Has the handle and quickness to routinely beat defenders off-the-dribble. Elite shot-maker when she gets into a rhythm. <strong>Charlotte</strong> has a nose for the ball on the defensive end. The motor stands out. She moves well off-the-ball. Natural-born scorer who can also facilitate for others. <strong>Charlotte</strong> is able to get her shot off quickly in tight spaces. Endless firepower on the offensive end. One of the most skilled guards in SoCal regardless of class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901264"],"_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-69ebd7453bd1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Naomi</strong> is suiting up for Sports Academy 16U in the EYCL. Silky-smooth combo guard with a sweet shooting stroke. She can get to the basket as well. <strong>Naomi</strong> continues to show flashes of a high-upside on the offensive end. She excels in transition. She can run the show in the half-court. Excellent euro step in the lane. Quick 1st step. She can spot-up and catch fire from long-range. She can create separation off-the-bounce. <strong>Naomi's</strong> ability to score in a variety of ways makes her an intriguing prospect to watch going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

May has just begun in what looks to be a promising summer ahead for a number of individuals. Players are getting comfortable with new teammates. Star-studded teams are beginning to gel. Now is the time to highlight the best of the best. The prospects who are getting it done. The prospects with production and potential!
