Long and athletic, blocks a lot of shots around the rim.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1050448"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1050448' first='Micah' last='Smith'] has been at the top of this class for a while now and has put together an impressive list of high-major offers.
