<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Tarkanian Classic gets underway this week. The event will feature 100's of teams from around the globe. Starting with the Prep School Division on Dec 16th the event runs all the way until the Finals of the Platinum division on Dec 22nd.

High level young glue guy that that impacts games even if his shot is not falling.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1041556"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"High Academic, clutch outside shooter.
