I have always been impressed with Carter but he impressed me the most on Tuesday against the Titans. He was phenomenal. The Walsh commit was just having fun out there it looked like. He was putting on a show. His athletic ability is next level. Super springy and long. He has great confidence in his skills. He is shooting the ball on pull-ups better. His handle seems to be tighter. He has always had great finishing ability and it showed once again. Carter is a very good basketball player.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["867941"],"_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":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/CJ-Hornbeak-Jesuit2.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-1725920 alignrightu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/CJ-Hornbeak-Jesuit2.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022200u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eHornbeak is taking the role of Mr. Do it all for St. John's this season and he plays that role well. He got off to a slow start on Tuesday night as Fremont Ross started the game box-n-1 on Hornbeak but once they got out of it, it was go time for him. He got to the rim often and invited contact. He has a really good ability to use his momentum to rip the ball attacking the basket. He is looking more confident in his jump shoot. It's coming off his hand quicker and smoother. He seems to be elevating higher on his shots. You can tell Hornbeak is playing with great confidence right now.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1432014"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":1725923,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Jerry-Easter-Lourdes2.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-1725924 alignleftu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Jerry-Easter-Lourdes2.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022198u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eEaster is a high-profile player that has been stuffing the stat sheet so far this season. He did that once again on Friday night against Scott. He scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals. He was aggressive all night attacking the basket. He got to the rim often and seemed to contact very well when putting pressure on the rim. He used his size very well against a smaller Scott team. He had the gym packed and put on a show.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":1725930,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Daryl Barnett Jr","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Scott","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Darryl-Barnett-Scott.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-1725930 alignleftu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Darryl-Barnett-Scott.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022190u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eScott did not have many bright spots on Friday night against Emmanuel Christian but in the second half when they made the game close for a stretch it all came from Darryl Barnett. Barnett is a strong-looking guard that got the rim very well all night. He is a good athlete and was one of very few Scott players able to finish at the basket. Barnett did a really good job of actually finding the open man when attacking the basket. I really like Barnett and what he showed me against a better Emmanuel Christian team.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1467905"],"_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":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Jamie-Rivers-Lourdes.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-1725931 alignrightu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Jamie-Rivers-Lourdes.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022190u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eI am a big fan of Rivers. He is like an athletic offensive lineman. Looks big but is light. He is a big body that moves light on his feet. He had a very impressive 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks stat line in the Warriors game against Scott. He played hard the whole game and did not let his lack of involvement in the offense stop his effort in the game.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63b1f65ca5962"} /-->
