Bailey is unbelievably versatile and can attack defenses from all over the floor. He shot the three well Saturday, hitting 4 three-pointers to go with a handful of high-flying dunks. Bailey's athleticism allows him to sky for rebounds and play above the rim. He's making a strong case as one of the top 2024s in the country and looks to be the next in McEachern's lineage of stars.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1383029"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1383029' first='Tylis' last='Jordan'] had a solid showing on Saturday, going for 16 second-half points that helped Shiloh pull away in the 4th. Jordan's size and skillset give him the ability to play multiple positions and hurt you inside or out. His outside shot was looking great on Saturday and he hit 4 three-pointers in the game. The upside on Jordan is what excites me most. He has already received a lot of high-major love and should be a fun one to watch over the next three years.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1054789"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1054789' first='Braedan' last='Lue'] played well for Alexander and showed those in attendance that he's a high-major guy through-and-through. Alexander got off to a slow start but Lue scored 11 points in the second quarter to cut the lead to 1 and both teams went back-and-forth for the rest of the game. He was especially effective working out of the high post and can score in a variety of ways from there. Lue finished the game with 16 points, leading Alexander in scoring.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1444779"],"_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":"It's beginning to feel repetitive writing about [player_tooltip player_id='1444779' first='Jacob' last='Wilkins'] every weekend but his showcase performances cannot be ignored. While it took some guys a quarter to wake up in the early morning game, Wilkins got right to work scoring 11 points in the first quarter. Whether it be emphatic dunks or deep threes, Wilkins is a highlight waiting to happen. Parkview seems to be a great fit for him and you can tell he's a lot more comfortable there. After an eye-opening start to the season, [player_tooltip player_id='1444779' first='Jacob' last='Wilkins'] needs to be considered a top-50 prospect nationally.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1653950"],"_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":"Langston Hughes escaped with a close win over Tucker, largely because of [player_tooltip player_id='1653950' first='Hassane' last='Diallo']'s interior play. His scoring numbers won't jump off the page. He finished with just 7 points but his impact was huge. Diallo's a high-motor forward that gets a lot of boards and holds his own against taller bigs. He was constantly diving after loose balls or making hustle plays on Saturday that were ultimately the difference in the game. While he's still raw as a prospect, colleges will appreciate the way Diallo plays.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-638f6b4a363f0"} /-->
