A solid two way forward, Higdon hasn't had a ton of opportunity to show his perimeter skills but should at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fcc52b1049b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155608"],"_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":"From 74 up to 56th, Cooper ends his career as the best player in Garrard County history and owns much of the school record book.

It can be hard to evaluate Lincoln County kids because they play in such a structured system but Tramane has shown he can play on or off the ball and knows how to score.
