<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we gear into the start of the Grassroots season… Prep Hoops Florida scout Ross Van De Griek is taking a deeper dive at the notable players to watch for each position in each class. We will start with our point guards in this year's junior class. If you have a player who deserves to be recognized, please send @ross-van-de-driek-authorVDG14 a direct message on Twitter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055726"],"_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":"The 6-8 power forward is a bruiser and plays with an aggressive edge to his game. He finished the second half of the season at North Marion High School after beginning the season at The Rock in Gainesville. Over the course of the high school season, Yeanay developed a mid-range game where he is gaining consistency rather than scoring around the rim. Yeanay is also one of the most persistent passers at his size and frame you will find.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1055594"],"_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":"The 6-10 power forward brings great size and length to his presence while out on the floor. His willingness to finish around the rim with either hand has taken a huge step as he gears for his senior season. He has a smooth touch when it comes to shooting from the mid-range as well as becoming a more accurate passer on kick outs.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1055578"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The 6-9 power forward has the ability to stretch the floor on the offensive end by knocking down shots from the perimeter as well as inside. On the defensive end he is a rim protector and limits second chance scoring opportunities. Newell helped lead Team USA to a FIBA U17 Gold Medal last summer over in Spain.

Borio can play multiple positions while on the floor and can also guard players with his size and frame.
