I always like to describe him as a linebacker in the backcourt. He has excellent positional size and strength.

He can attack the defense off the bounce and showed some real playmaking ability.

He's a young many that keeps growing, both physically and with his game. Haroldson has apparently stayed in the weight room, because ho looked even stronger than the last time I saw him. Haroldson flaunted a pretty up and under bucket and was able to push the pace with accurate passes up the floor.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1300877"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Brock was one of the most impressive athletes in the gym.

When he gets in his groove, it spells trouble for opponents. He can handle the ball, but can also play off of it and serve as a secondary ball handler that looks to score. Long can start feeling his handles and shot and put up points in bunches.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_10_player":["1300916"],"_player_evaluations_10_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"Nash was a tough stop at the David Barns Showcase.

He left coaches trying to find ways to slow him down. He flashed the post quickly and established position on the block. Nash showed some strong hands, catching and securing bounce passes in traffic.

He's a solid ball handler that's very comfortable working with his left. Calvert can break down the defense, getin the lane with the ball, and create for his teammates.

Quite simply, he played his way into a state ranking as a prospect. He's a strong and physical athlete that has a nice set of ball skills to go with it.

He reads the game well, sees his opportunities against a defense or defender, and takes advantage of it.

He proved that he could be a leader on the floor and was comfortable playing as the go to scorer. In fact, Odoms hit a free throw line jumper at the buzzer to secure his team a win early in the day.
