Firle was effective scoring around the basket with 6 makes totaling 12 points in this conteset. Being left-handed make Firle a bit more unique and difficult to guard, and as post player he does keep the ball high so smaller players aren't able to swipe the ball away.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-637f8992ee5ca"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/ZP-LIq7eC8Y","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/ZP-LIq7eC8Y </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544927"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1544927' first='Kevin' last='Armstrong II'] is a 2024 wing from Breck that played AAU with [program_tooltip program_id='2075485' first='Gain' last='Elite']. The six-foot-four-inch Armstrong has a growing skillset, particularly on the perimeter. His long frame enables him to guard multiple positions which is very intriguing as you don't have to hide him or work around him on that side of the floor. In transition Armstrong can rebound and go, and has euro-step that enables him to score in the lane for lay-ups.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-637f8992ee61b"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/iGCioacmjxk","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/iGCioacmjxk </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["962252"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"In a Expo type event, players who pass effectively can sometimes be minimized because of lack of finishing ability of teammates among other factors.
