He is the real deal. He is a very good player on both sides of the ball. His skill set is perfect for today's basketball. A 6-7 strong athletic forward that can play multiple positions, and can impact the game so many different ways. He is a force on defense. Probably the best shot blocker in the country. He is very active in the passing lane, forces a bunch of turnovers, and can guard multiple positions. He can guard just as well on the perimeter, as he can in the paint. On offense he can stretch the floor, finish at or above the rim, handles the ball, and is a threat shooting from the outside. Cooper is a must see talent. He is still young, but it's only a matter of time before the blue blood schools are after him.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1529070"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Badara is a high level talent. He is a 6-10 forward, and is a three level scorer. Coaches say he is an absolute team player, and does what ever is needed to help the team win. He plays very well within the teams offense. He doesn't try to force things. He is long an athletic. He can shoot from the outside, handle the ball, and has great court vision. He is also a good finisher in the paint. The one thing he should improve is to get stronger, and build up his frame. That will help him play at the next level. If he developed his frame, he would be a 6-10 strong athletic versatile forward. That has all the makings of a high division 1 college level prospect.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1532436"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Nash is a very skill guard, who has a high ceiling. He is a shooter, who has very long range. He can also score off the dribble, and finish at the rim. He is proving he can play against tough competition, and he has been a varsity starter since 8th grade. He proved to be able to score against bigger defenders, and has a high arcing shot. Nash has a high basketball IQ and good understanding of the game. Nash is on the path to being a wanted college prospect.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1213867"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Nick is a player who I think has division 1 college level potential. He is an athletic 6-5 wing. As just a freshman on the varsity team, Nick proved he can play against older competition. He often lead his team in scoring. He was named MVC conference all star as a Freshman. Once in an AAU game he made an incredible 15 three pointers. He really worked hard last offseason to improve his guard skills, and that really paid off. He can handle the ball, finish off 1 or 2 feet in the lane, and dunk with ease. He is also a lights out shooter, and a good defender. I saw Nick play a number of times last year live and always liked what I saw.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1532420"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Osa was named to the SENE all conference team in his Freshman season on varsity. He likes to play bully ball. He is a big strong built, and a very physical player that can move people around. He is a versatile player, and if he continues to work on other facets of his game, his potential is high. He has an improving shot, and improving  that will help him stretch the floor. Osa has a high upside to his game","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /-->
