He used his shiftiness and quick first step to get to the rim at will. He has an extremely high vertical leap which he displayed by getting many dunks and dunking on a player a few inches taller. He also hit a ridiculous between the legs dunk during the dunk contest. I did not see him shoot any outside shots at the event but if he is able to develop a consistent three point shot he will be really good at the college level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1571916"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Amari was a breakout player for 4A Final Four team Bradshaw Mountain this past season and continued his good play at the Northern Arizona showcase.

He also showcased his ability to take it to the rim strong and finish through contact.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640c1aafde485"} /-->
