Gayle along with teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1982732' first='Cedric' last='Richardson'] were tempo setting pests on the defensive end. While Gayle pulled all the string on offenses, finding a great mix of creating for others and scoring himself.  He's quick off the dribble, capable of getting inside off drives or creating space for off the dribble jumpers.rnrnThe Texan is a smaller guard but was the complete package at the lead guard spot in leading his team to a 5-0 mark.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1293621"],"_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":"Another floor general who makes winning plays, Snow led his team to the semifinals of the contest. In the quarterfinal victory on Sunday morning, it was his control of the game on both ends of the court. The Yukon Miller popped up for key steals by reading passing lanes and even took a good charge in transition as well. On offense he continues to find pockets of spaces in the mid-range and at the rim, where he's efficient with a floater or fadeaways.rnrnRarely out of control, the patient guard is a grinder that doesn't get sped up on the offensive end, and leaves his fingerprints all over the defensive end.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1293601"],"_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":"One of the most gifted athletes in Oklahoma's Class of 2024, Deering lived around the rim all weekend. Unlike some leapers, he doesn't need much of a runway to explode for a rebound, slam or a block. He's a powerful jumper when flatfooted or with only a step or two for a momentum. When he does get a runway, he's sure to erase shot attempts at the rim or put an opponent on a poster with a slam. His impactful play and energy were critical for [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin'] EYBL Select's run to the 17U title game on Sunday afternoon.rnrnHigh motor play, physicality and athleticism made the Deer Creek forward standout all weekend long.","_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":1962939,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2268124' first='Jaiden' last='Gastile']","_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":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Sagniaw","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Team Phoenix Gold","_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":"Another big time athlete, Gastile was impressive on Saturday and Sunday for his combination of quickness, tenacity and bounce. One particular example stood out in a quarterfinal match up on Sunday morning. On the same possession he blocked the same player twice, both of them were on the ball blocks that he made through moving his feet and having great timing with his hands.

What was even more impressive about Davis, is how well he shot it in the title game, which was his fifth game in the two days. He had no sign of tired legs when connecting from distance or slashing to the rim.  In the second half in particular, he partnered with Gayle with clutch jump shooting. Those scores proved critical in holding off a comeback attempt, and securing the title.rnrnSteady shot making in high leverage moments in the title game capped off a strong tournament for Davis.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646b858d3b2c7"} /-->
