Dropping a smooth 16 points in IMG's close victory against Fort Myers, Gogic has the ability to score inside and out while also getting his teammates involved. Possessing a silky smooth stroke from beyond the arc that stretches out to NBA range, the senior knocked down four long balls, coming from his constant movement without the ball leading to open looks.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"CJ Kerr","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Parrish Community","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Finishing with a team-high 21 points on Thursday, Kerr is a truly gifted scorer. Standing at 6-3, the senior shoots the ball at an extremely efficient clip with a high release point - whether its coming from the catch-and-shoot or off the dribble. But, as gifted a scorer that Kerr is, what impressed me the most was the guards ability to turn down a good shot for himself to set his teammate up for a better one. Along with his smooth shot and patience with the basketball, Kerr compliments those with a smooth floater and finishing ability around the basket.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Jayden Jones ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Cypress Lake ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Arguably the best slasher from day one of the Slamuary Invitational, Jones is tough to stop once he gets inside the paint. And while his 6-6 and 205lb frame can be credited to that, it's the sophomores body control around the cup to slow down his momentum enough to finish inside with or without contact. Along with his craftiness to maneuverer around the trees, Jones brings a lethal eurostep in his arsenal to slip away from contact.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1633099"],"_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":"The skill Newson possesses as a freshman is as equally exciting, as it is terrifying for the rest of SWFL for the coming years. The walking definition of shifty, the 5-10 guard can get downhill in a hurry, but his deep handling bag makes it tough to guess his next move. Along with his agility while controlling the rock, Newson shoots the ball with immense confidence, never shying away from taking a big shot, which is exactly what he did in Cape High's victory. Down one with just about three minutes to go, the freshman did not hesitate for a second pulling up from three, hitting nothing but net to give the Seahawks a two point lead. The result? His team not trailing the rest of the way.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63b77cb70c450"} /-->
