The way Simpson u003c/spanu003eproduced most of his offense in catch-and-shoot situations when spotting up or popping out was something to marvel at, he was at his best when operating off the ball, Kason did a fantastic job of floating around the arc with his feet always set and finishing his jumper off by hu003cspan data-tt=u0022{u0026quot;paragraphStyleu0026quot;:{u0026quot;alignmentu0026quot;:4,u0026quot;writingDirectionu0026quot;:1}}u0022u003eolding his follow through until he saw the ball go through the net. I think it's safe to say that Kason u003c/spanu003eSimpson has a bright future as a shooting specialist especially from beyond the arc.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633dc835cdbd2","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598925"],"_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":"u003cspan data-tt=u0022{u0026quot;paragraphStyleu0026quot;:{u0026quot;alignmentu0026quot;:4,u0026quot;writingDirectionu0026quot;:1}}u0022u003eThis standout senior prospect showed solid potential defensively by disrupting and allowing nothing easy in his paint. Jones displayed an u003c/spanu003eimpressively explosive first and second bounce when blocking or alerted things inside, he swatted shots in several different scenarios from flying across the lane as a helpside defender to blocking dribble-drive shot attempts, and perimeter shooters.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633dc835cdbd3","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1126057"],"_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":"u003cspan data-tt=u0022{u0026quot;paragraphStyleu0026quot;:{u0026quot;alignmentu0026quot;:4,u0026quot;writingDirectionu0026quot;:1}}u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1126057' first='Colby' last='Springs'] played with a good feel for the game, a high basketball IQ, and tremendous versatility with just a few limitations to his skillset. Springs was nu003c/spanu003eearly impossible to defend when isolated down low on the block but Colby was also dangerous in the open court where he made himself a transition threat by running the floor exceptionally well and beating everyone up the court before finishing with a layup.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633dc835cdbd4","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217850"],"_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":"u003cspan data-tt=u0022{u0026quot;paragraphStyleu0026quot;:{u0026quot;alignmentu0026quot;:4,u0026quot;writingDirectionu0026quot;:1}}u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1217850' first='Graham' last='Moore'] proved to be the ultimate contributor, a flat-out all-around skilled wing-forward with ideal physical tools and instincts, not to mention his effort on the defensive end which made it difficult for the opposing offense to penetrate and kick or score inside effectively or consistently. Moore u003c/spanu003eexcelled in transition by filling space in the open floor and in a halfcourt set where his off-ball movements led to easy dump-off passes. The lengthy 6-foot-6 forward also showed the ability to put the ball on the deck and create his own shot with dribble pull-up jumpers from outside or deceptive turnaround jumpshots in the mid-range.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633dc835cdbd5","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598907"],"_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":"u003cspan data-tt=u0022{u0026quot;paragraphStyleu0026quot;:{u0026quot;alignmentu0026quot;:4,u0026quot;writingDirectionu0026quot;:1}}u0022u003eWhen put in a position to succeed, [player_tooltip player_id='1598907' first='Kaden' last='Mitchell'] dominated the paint. Kaden showed u003c/spanu003egood IQ and feel for the game offensively, tending to make the right decision with the ball in his hands. On the pick-and-roll, he could not be stopped, his ability to position himself in front of the defender made him an easy target. Mitchell was also an excellent rebounding threat who easily produced second-chance points and putback layups.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
