Whether that's getting all the way to the bucket for a creative finish or a smooth mid-range jumper off the dribble, Cavil is a dynamic offensive weapon. He has the ball on a string and pairs that excellent ball-handling with great pace and a quick first step to blow by defenders and get where he wants. He's also a gifted passer with great court vision.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1587383"],"_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":"Lieurance was solid as a role player for the Cougars as a freshman, and had a solid afternoon on Saturday. He's a long, bouncy wing who competes on the glass on both ends of the floor. His ball-handling and playmaking has improved over the last several months, showing the ability to put the ball on the floor and create shots for himself and others. He's a really good shooter off the catch who moves well without the ball in his hands.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1288891"],"_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":"Goodman has grown quite a bit since I last saw him play, and his growth has also added some strength to his frame, which is allowing him to finish at a higher clip around the bucket. His biggest asset is his ability to shoot the ball, both off the dribble and the catch. He has a quick release and unlimited range.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1288917"],"_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":"Helmers played well at this event last year heading into his freshman season, and he played well again this year. A 6-3 lefty wing who can put the ball on the floor and create for others, he does a really good job using subtle movement with his off-ball arm to create space for himself to get his shot off as well. He's a high IQ player who positions himself really well on the defensive end, rotates well, and can defend a few different positions.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1156782"],"_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":"I don't know what they're putting in the water in Waukee, but I want some of it. Papenberg is another in a long line of long, athletic, and skilled wing scorers to go through Northwest and Waukee over the last several years. He moves really well without the ball in his hands, cutting to the rim for finishes or finding spaces behind the arc to get his shot off. He has a smooth release off the catch and has his feet squared and ready to fire. He showed some ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim as well, finishing through contact on a few occasions.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1587538"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Pfaltzgraff was a new name for me, but he impressed. He's a 6-4 combo forward who can score inside and out. He runs the floor hard for easy buckets, filling the lane and finishing strong at the rim. He has good hands and feet on defense that led to a few clean picks and layups on the other end, and he has the length and athleticism to defend a few different positions.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1587315"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"You never quite know what you're going to get from small-school players at this event, especially young ones, but Julseth definitely had some really good moments throughout the afternoon. He's a 6-4 wing who moves well off the ball, beating his man backdoor a few times for easy finishes. He has good size and length, moves his feet well, and contests shots without fouling.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1587365"],"_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":"A 6-6 big man who rebounds really well, especially on the defensive end of the floor, Cook was a strong interior presence throughout the afternoon for his team.
