Two qualities as a player that usually allows you to play up age levels are shooting and creating. Madson was the lead guard on the Rise team sharing the ball as equally if not more than scoring at times. When open however, Madson didn't hesitate to shoot.  At a Prep Hoops Live Event Madson had an 18-point straight performance. Not the smallest player on the court at the 17U level, Madson didn't let the size difference matter as he slashed and scored as much as he shot 3's within his balance offense arsenal.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chxB46ju0e0\u0026ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chxB46ju0e0&amp;ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f570b6045da","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1448601"],"_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":"\u003cspan style=\u0022font-weight: 400;\u0022\u003ePlaying up with the 17U Real Phenom team in AAU, Ware really broke onto the scene running the point for Phenom.
