So far during the spring , Erheriene has proven to be one of the best bigs on the 3ssb circuit. He is extremely mobile, and has the ability get up and down the floor in transition. Erheriene also has great hands and the ability to get for slams. On defense, Erheriene is a consistent shot blocker and anchor.

Its not everyday you see a player nearly 7 feet tall that can handle the ball in traffic, and unselfishly find open teammates, but Gilhool can. He will be a player to watch, as he heads to Luhi next season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["902739"],"_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":"Pang started off the spring hot, starting off with a game winning buzzer beater in the Throne hoops for Christ the King.
