Mt. Rainier Select – Pac Xpress – Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In tthe first article I talked about the players from the Pac Xpress side. In this one, I will highlight some from the Mt. Rainier side. These are players who play at Enumclaw, Eatonville, and one from Graham Kapowsin. The two teams went at it for about 40 minutes of fairly even basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1821321"],"_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":"Shay is a talented prospect who provides the length and size of a post with the skills of a guard. The best guard skill he provides is his ability to stretch the floor with deep threes. He is a good shooter who can shoot it off the dribble, re-locates, and even step-back style threes. He can handle the ball well enough to set up his shots, which combined with his 6'7 length makes him a tough match-up. He is also good at getting to the basket with very few dribbles and long strides. He can finish with some big-time dunks when he gets there. He finished the scrimmage with Pac Xpress scoring around 14 points, including a couple of deep threes from NBA range. I believe he is an unsigned senior with a few offers. He is worth a look with his talent and unique skill set. A kid that loves the game from what I hear. He will continue to get better and has since I last saw him about 9 months ago.He also happened to average 20 and 10 this season for Eatonville. rn","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Carter DeRosier","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Enumclaw","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Mt.

He is around 6'2 with decent length. He showed the ability to pull-up in the mid range with effectiveness going both ways. Although he didn't have his best shooting day, it's not hard to see that any of his shots could find the bottom of the net. His shot is pure and he can get his own off the dribble or catch and shoot with a quick release and range extending beyond the arc. He is a player who can play either guard spot well. His length adds to his game on the defensive end and with rebounding ability. He jumps well, and is a good athlete. He was the MVP of his league this season for Enumclaw and has the all around game to play at the next level. If nothing else as a knock down shooter, although as I mentioned, he is more than that.rn","_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":"Hunter Hazen ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"MWP ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Mt.

He plays hard all the time and gets after it on both sides of the ball. He is best in transition or short drives to the hoop. He is athletic and can finish above the rim or through it with dunks. He always rebounds well and is a player every team could use. He has improved a lot in a year. He showed that in the regular season, coming up with some huge games for MWP, helping them to a 4th-place finish at the state tournament. He is also a strong kid who has a quick hands-on defense, getting him lots of steals. He might be a little undersized at the forward but makes up for it with toughness. He also has extended his range and can make the three although best as a slasher. rn","_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":"Liam Lenord ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Enumclaw ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Mt.

A sneaky quick player who always seemed to have a good first step on the defense. He is a capable three-point shooter but he seemed to prefer to take it to the basket.
