Freshmen Stepping Up In Playoffs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I used to hear a lot of statements I didn't agree with when I first started like the best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores yet people tend to repeat and believe things that make no sense to me, it's worse even now yet so many memories went through my head watching my daughter be part of the announcing crew for the second half at the <mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color"><a href="https://x.com/NBAonTNT/status/1759409689828180200"><strong><em>All-Star</em></strong></a> </mark>game last night so freshman arriving early always have me excited and here are some that stood out last week</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["856169"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Teuton helped lead her squad to the second round yet what's even more impressive is that I had no idea that their post, [player_tooltip player_id='861385' first='Jordan' last='Mays'], was out for the season, another special S/O to Coach Trey for that info.
