Despite only being 5'8, nobody could stop him as soon as he stepped onto the court. It was one bucket after another. Heart can outweigh height, which was the case with Davis. He was knocking down three pointers, using his shiftiness and speed to get to the rim, and hustling for every loose ball. It was an admirable display that took me back to the days of James Harden coming off of the bench for Oklahoma City. Someone that can provide an instant spark and change the flow of the game, which he did to the fullest.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1295661"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1295661' first='Connor' last='Boydstun'] contributed on both ends of the court for his team. He showed the ability to shoot, knocking down multiple three pointers. Not only can he shoot, he showed the ability to get to the rim to finish and to run in transition to finish. There was one play that he used a hesitation move, drove to the basket, and finished at the rim after he left the defense in the dust. On the defensive end, he played solid defense and was able to get a steal that resulted in an assist. His play was impressive throughout the whole game.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1420648"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1420648' first='Parker' last='Boyles'] showed the ability to drive and playmake, making several impressive passes through the game and tournament. He knew how to lay the ball just right into his teammates' hands. During the game, he showed the ability to regularly finish in traffic, converting through contact several times. Not only could he finish around the basket, he knocked down multiple three pointers. He is someone that can contribute in several categories on the offensive end, as well as playing decent defense.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":1632394,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Hayden Hicks","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Washington","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Hayden Hicks came into the tournament not ranked, but played like a top 100 player when I watched him. He shot lights out, knocking down one three after another. He had no hesitation to let it fly, utilizing a beautiful shot release. He showed the ability to drive to the basket, as he would drive and hit the open man for easy assists. Not only did his shooting catch my eye, but his energy and defensive I.Q did, as well. He hustled back in transition and took charges two different times. Shooting, defensive I.Q and the ability to defend, and the energy that he brings makes this a guy to keep your eyes on. If that is how he plays on a regular basis, then he deserves to receive college interest.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1625119"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1625163' first='Ryein' last='Kennedy'] lit the place on fire when his offensive performance, knocking down one three after another and finishing inside. He showed the ability to run in transition and finish. For someone that is 6'6, it was impressive seeing him do some of the offensive things that he did, both utilizing a nice shot form and athleticism/speed. He rebounded well in this game, too. It was an impressive performance by him in this game.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1625120"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1625164' first='Rylan' last='Antle'] was extremely impressive in this game. I saw him over the summer at an AAU tournament and he caught my eye, but watching him at the showcase proved that it was not a fluke. Despite only being listed at 6'2, he is a premiere rebounder every time that I watch him. He plays with a lot of energy, cheering his teammates from the bench and encouraging them on the court. He can knock down the three pointer and finish inside. On the first possession that I watched him at the showcase, he dove out of bounds to save a loose ball. That is just the kind of player that he is, someone that gives everything he has to win. I talked to his high school coach and he told me that he is a great teammate and has the same energy at practice. If you want someone that plays with heart and sacrifices everything to win, this is your guy.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /-->
