Knittel impressed with his ability to handle the basketball and run the offense. Eighteen months ago, during the @PrepHoopsTN Combine he played like a future college shooting guard. This game convinced that he may be a small college point guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1574449"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6402bfdaca045"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Though a freshman, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1574449' first='Jackson' last='Simmons']</strong> (Unicoi County) is an impactful player. His best contributions are on the offensive end, where the guard can get a half-step on the defenders and occasionally hit three-pointers. Jackson is a 11.9 scorer and leads his Devils with 48% shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1346542"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6402bfdaca090"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like all great scorers, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1346542' first='Grant' last='Hensley']</strong> (Unicoi County) spends an inordinate amount of time with his toes kissing the free throw line.
