Standouts from Nike TOC

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 AAU season is in the books, and there were plenty of players from our state who had impressive weekends in Chicago. Today, we will look at some of the players from Wisconsin who impressed me in the time I saw them play at Nike's Tournament of Champions. We will look at more players tomorrow. After that, I will take a quick breather and debrief about the AAU season sometime in August.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751236"],"_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-6a69790891e83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more intriguing kids remaining in the class of 2027 is [player_tooltip player_id='751236' first='Alexis' last='Shelsta']. I like the intangibles she brings to the floor and how well she responds to adversity. She bounced back from a rough start to the season last year, but was a significant reason her Hartford team was a game away from the state tournament. She's a high-IQ kid who brings winning basketball to any team she's on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751272"],"_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-6a69790891efb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I like what Morgan brings to the floor and how well she can play next to ball-dominant players. She shoots the leather off the ball and is an excellent floor spacer who can shoot the ball at a high clip when she's on the floor. I also like how willing she is to compete around the basket and rebound the ball in a crowd. She is a more physical player than people may give her credit for, but I like how willing she is to do the little things to win games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751271"],"_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-6a69790891f66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Neillsville native helped her high school team win a state championship last March. Davel is a kid who can hunt her own shot and score from all three levels. The lefty has the tools to score the ball at any level and has the skill to get to her spots at any moment. I also like her ability to compete on the defensive end and think she will have the lateral quickness to stay in front of athletic guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751280"],"_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-6a69790891ffb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Kenosha native didn't back down from the competition when her [program_tooltip program_id='1230720' first='Team' last='Herro'] group made the EYBL Nike Nationals. She went straight at some of the largest players on the floor and wasn't fazed when she got her shot blocked. I loved how physical she was on the defensive end. She is a player who has come along nicely over the past few years and has become a player whom scholarship programs should take a look at if they have the time over the next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
