When OBC decided to turn up the defensive pressure and make the game more fast-paced, he thrived. He was great in transition. He got a lot of transition buckets. I was impressed with his court vision in transition. He always made the right read on the defense and dished to the open teammate. He was attacking the basket great and finished around the rim really well. Showed a good ability to shift the defense's feet and get them off balance before attacking them.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1679929"],"_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":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Jaylen-Murhpy-Hopson.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-1972928 alignleftu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Jaylen-Murhpy-Hopson.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022230u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eMurphy was a game-changer for Hopson Elite in the game I watched on Sunday. The team he was going against decided to open up the game in a 2-3 zone, once Murphy checked into the game they didn't stay in it long. He was knocking down shots from all over the court. He's got unlimited range and when he is in rhythm, his is automatic. Super long player so it makes his shot almost unblockable and tough to contest. It's especially tough to contest when he is shooting it from the volleyball line. He was crucial for the spacing for Hopson Elite for other guards on his team that attacked the basket more than him. He was a sniper for Hopson elite and it lead to their dominant win.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"CJ Wallace","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Northridge Middle","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Midwest Basketball Club - Wallace","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/CJ-Wallace-Midwest.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-1972929 alignrightu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/CJ-Wallace-Midwest.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022200u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eWallace was someone I left the game I was excited about. He was playing up for Midwest Basketball Club - Wallace 15U and you wouldn't be able to tell. He ran the show for Midwest. Brought the ball up against some very intense pressure. He had a good understanding of how to attack pressure and make the opposing team pay for it. He was very passive and it lead to a lot of buckets for his teammates. He's got a really good handle on the ball and pace to his game. He also showed some great competitive drive and passion for the game. It was refreshing to watch. This kid will be a name to know one day.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Tanner Printz","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Tri-Village","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Midwest Basketball Club - Paige","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Tanner-Printz-MIdwest.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-1972930 alignleftu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Tanner-Printz-MIdwest.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022200u0022 /u003eu003c/au003ePrintz is just a super solid player. He didn't make any mistakes for Midwest Basketball Club - Paige 17U. He was one of many guards that handled the ball. He is a sneaky athletic guard with great bounce, quick feet, and fast. He displayed a good skillset and ability in the half-court. He got to the rim constantly. He also did a good job of creating space for himself. He did a good job distributing. He showed calmness in the chaos game he was playing in.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-647429a03f18b"} /-->
