Already on the radar of several schools, Ariza showed why he's one of the top freshmen in America.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1502816"],"_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":"Saw quite a bit of Martin in the summer during the Prephoops Circuit, so it was great to see him during this event. I have him tabbed as a Swiss Army Knife type of player, but it was his grit and grind that was impressive to me. He made an impact on the game mixing it up for rebounds as well, as using his long arms to protect the rim on the defensive side of the ball. A high, high academic prospect, Martin is a player that will be on several radars.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1452974"],"_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":"Agu put together a stockrising performance this week. The senior guard came into the week as a top 125 player, but showed that he should be a lot higher than that. His best skill may be his toughness, as he showed the ability to get into the lane and finish plays. Agu is a high impact, transition slasher who was the most productive player for the Crusaders.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1215727"],"_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":"I really loved the grit and toughness that Toby played with.

He was his normal stalwart self on the defensive end, however I thought it was his offense that showed the most improvment. Bey was effective when given the opportunity to play in 1 v 1 situations, and he used his Ru0026amp;J ability to finish plays with thunderous dunks. His size, pedigree and production probably earned him some additional looks this week.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["1222500"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"I'm sure most people view Meadow as more of a four, however I've always felt his skill-set translated more to the wing. Meadow is a good at every not great at any type. Against high level competition he showed that he was athletic enough to finish above the rim, and skilled enough to shoot, handle and pass it at a high level. The Platinum bracket MVP is a big time get for Boise St.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a67aac988d8"} /-->
