He's one of the better ball dominate guards. Early on he was content to follow the flow of the game, noticeably involving others. In 4th he took matters into his own hands as the tough scoring guard found multiple ways to put the ball in the basket to secure a victory over pesky Weston Ranch. He had 8 straight down the stretch.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='950888' first='Jaiden' last='Paran']-Parham","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Archbishop Mitty","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"He's been a steady performer in the early season contests. He's in the flow, making good decisions with the ball. The unsigned 2023  guard is knocking down open 3's at a good percentage. He's finding teammates with his vision, and  passing skills. He's aware on the defensive side of the ball, helping, and making his man work for points.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1380757"],"_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":"He's been playing consistent basketball in the early season. The thick guard has been an effective scorer, using his handles and thickness to absorb contact as he drives hard into the paint daring defenders to challenge him. He's finishing and getting to the free throw line. He's hitting open 3's, spending time at point guard, and scoring in transition.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1384447"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The rising prospect in the 2025 class is opening eyes with his play. Coming into high school he was a high energy guy, who worked for rebounds and defended. Now he's a legitimate athletic big guard/wing who handles and plays well in the open court, and transition. He hit his first three shots all 3ptrs. He still defends and rebounds. He has multiple DI offers. We'll see more of him.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1498193"],"_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":"He's a guard in a forwards body sort of. He loves to attack the boards and come out dribbling trying to go coast to coast, he's getting better at it. He's a strong player with power moves, and balance going up in the paint area including a step thru and more. He'll attack along the base line, hit the short corner jumpers. He'll play physical in the paint.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1498192"],"_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":"He might get over looked at times on this deep team, but he's one of their shot makers who they rely on. Chans a threat to knock down 3's if he's left unattended.  He has a good dribble drive mid-range jump shot he hits from straight away at the free throw area. He doesn't waste dribbles, moves the ball, has decent handles, and passing.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1266053"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"He's built his body up to handle the physical style of play that makes him more effective at this level. He's getting more rebounds, going hard to the basket along the baseline, and perimeter using his dribble and handling the contact. He can hit the short jumper with good lift. He's running the court, and finishing strong in transition.
