<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few more players that played well at the Tarkanian Classic in Ls Vegas, Nevada.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1190621"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a67e696026d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Impressive play this past week in Las Vegas for Noah as he was lighting it up like usual from deep. One new aspect to his game that was uncovered out at the Tarkanian was his ability to come off the scree and set up his man, get his feet set and let it fly quickly. He is moving without the ball quicker and he is shooting the ball really well on the move. With a little bit more size this year Noah is starting to be able to shoot the comfortably on defenders closing out on him. With Noah only being a Class of 2025 prospect. he still has time to get in the weight room and improve his strength and leaping ability. He also could get a few more inches which will help his positional size over as a shooting guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Nate Visentin","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Springville","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a67e6960393"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nate has that grown man game as he really uses that strength and positional skills to get advantage on post up plays, especially when him and his teammate go high low. Nate is strong with the ball and can power through contact and finish strong. He rebounds the ball extremely well and he defends his position well. He could be a small school prospect that gets to develop more of his perimeter game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1554674' first='Otavio' last='Armani']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Layton Christian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Kongo Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a67e696047e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great size and feel for the game. He has to have International experience because he is just smooth with the ball in his hands and the decisions he is making. it almost seems like the game is going at a different pace for him, the way he reads the defense and anticipates plays. Had a big time 31 point game against a really good private school in San Gabriel Academy. He shoots the ball extremely well but does not only fall back on shooting he can score all over the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1199559"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a67e69604f9"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carson had some moments that made him look impressive especially when he makes a quick move and two dribble pull-up. Not the most efficient shot but he makes those tough mid-range jumpers. Handle has been getting better and his passing ability is great. He does find open players when he gets past the initial defender. Great job this past week getting to the free-throw line. Shooting from beyond the arc has been better and he does come through clutch. He could be a D3 or NWAC player in the right system where he can get an opportunity to develop his handle and shooting ability more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
