He is a dominant force inside. Defensively he is a major rim protector. Has a wingspan that enables him to block shots when he seems to be out of the play. Offensively he gains position and holds it. Sets up wide and when he gets the post feed he showed the ability to use a quick spin move to score. I feel there is still room for him to climb up the list.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1195568"],"_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":"14. Elijah had a huge jump from #50 -#14 mostly because he is now healthy. Coming off of a summer where he was able to show off his whole skillset. Outstanding rebounder. A strong presence blocking shots. Has a good handle getting to the rim. But is mid range combines a strong handle, able to get up and use of his body to create separation is potent.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1195560"],"_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":"#16 Jaylen climbs the rankings from #48 up to #16.
