Finished with 15 pts in the first game to put away Rancho Christian. Did a great job hustling for rebounds, plays his role in Coach McKnight's offense very well.  High motor and relentless energy.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["994924"],"_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":"Strong big man with the potential to operate both inside and outside.  As of right now, Edmonds does the majority of his damage on the block and inside.  He hit a couple of jumpers that had good rotation and showed the potential to hit from three point range.  On defense, he does a great job of using his size and strength to prevent opposing bigs from backing him down, and also does a good job help side to alter shots.  On a opposing fast break, Edmonds had a chase down block that sent a shot flying off the backboard.  Love the potential and upside for Edmonds.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
