His combination of speed, strength, and skill overwhelmed West Wendover. When he was at the top of Dpac's full court pressure or zone defense he used his length to get tips and deflections. His athletic ability in transition allowed him to finish with ease, and I came away impressed by the way he passed the ball, showing good vision and accuracy on his dimes.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1816298"],"_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":"Carlos was a young player that I'm happy to get on my radar. Despite a tough loss to Democracy Prep, he flashed some talent. The sophomore showed a good motor, competing despite the score.

He finished with 11 points in the game.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1215727"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Suprise, suprise, Toby was at it again.
