Whether it was the State championship game, where he had his career high, or a big AAU tournament. Marat has reclassified to the class of 2023 and will be attending Spire in the fall. He is known for his sharp shooting and coaches have given him the nickname “Big Shot Marat”.  This summer at the Atlantic City Hoop Group JamFest, Marat was very efficient. He averaged 15.1 points per game, while shooting 50 percent from three point range, and a 66 percent efficiency overall rating from the field. He also had an assist to turnover ratio of 2 to 1. I have coached, and seen Marat play a number of times. He is a knock down three point shooter, that you must go over the screens on. He has a smooth shot release, and can make shots in bunches. He has a good feel for the game and a high basketball IQ. Marat is the definition of a GYM Rat, and loves to work on his game. Marat should get even more attention now that he has reclassified to the class of 2023.[/caption]","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Lateef Patrick","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Milton","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Mass Commanders/ICE","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Lateef was one of the biggest stock risers this entire summer.
