<p><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">[player_tooltip player_id="1295841" first="Carter" last="Eddy"] showed extreme amounts of hustle, heart, and effort for the ball that stood out in a major way. It didn’t matter that this was an exposure camp, Carter was willing to sacrifice his body for the ball and do all of the dirty work for his team, diving out of bounds to keep possessions alive, hustling from end to end, and following teammates misses to the rim looking to cleaning them up.</span></p>

<p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1102680" first="Antwone" last="Gonzales"] | Shooting Guard | Shoemaker HS | C/o 2022</strong></em></p>
<p><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">[player_tooltip player_id="1102680" first="Antwone" last="Gonzales"] is as athletic as they come and come jump with the best of them. Gonzales </span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">found several ways to take high percentage shots by gliding past defenders and blasting his way through traffic. In many instances when Antwone got inside, he proceeded to posterize the competition, flying through and throwing down slam dunks on three separate occasions in the first half of the first game. </span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">After consistently exposing the weak interior defense with his physical finishes, players proceeded to get out of his way whenever Gonzales drove the lane, leaving him open to attempt windmills and other rim rocking jams. </span></p>
