He checked into the game and immediately left a defender in his dust with an up u0026amp; under move in the post, and shortly after hit his man with a quick shoulder turn before finishing off the glass. Andrew has the footwork to make defenders look silly in the paint, but also showcased good vision out of the block to find open shooters. In the second half he started flashing a bit more of his perimeter game, including a three point shot that he drained after creating space off the dribble.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1139244"],"_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":"Brooks put on a show in a matchup with [program_tooltip program_id='2075808' first='Powerhouse' last='MN']. In that game alone he threw down 4-5 dunks, mixing in a baseline drive with some transition dunks and alley-oops. Because of his outside shot, he was able to get defenders in the air with a quick head-fake and then put the ball on the floor to attack the rim. A tough finisher inside off of both one and two feet. When he gets into the paint he has the ability to go up and finish, but also showed the vision to dump it off to a cutting teammate. Defensively he has the frame and athleticism to defend on the wing and also made plays as a shot blocker inside.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1345984"],"_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":"Molley Komara impressed in a matchup against a 7 foot high major committed player last night. Although his team came up short, Molley's fearlessness going up against a massive frontcourt really stood out. He had a stretch in the second half where he had three finishes in a short period of time, establishing deep position, catching, and then hitting his man with a quick shoulder turn or spin move to open up a finish. Does a nice job of absorbing contact on his right shoulder and then extending to finish with the left hand over size. At 6'7 he has a level of quickness that most bigs can't match, but he also plays a lot more physical than his frame may suggest. High motor player who's always fighting for position, rebounds, and loose balls.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1284150"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[program_tooltip program_id='2075808' first='Powerhouse' last='MN'] went down to the wire with [program_tooltip program_id='2078859' first='Starks' last='Elite'] yesterday afternoon, and Jalani's play was a big reason why. The 5'10 guard was able to get to the rim just about any time he wanted to, weaving in-and-out of traffic with ease. He can change directions quickly on the ball, and knows how to utilize a ball screen to free himself up to drive. Once at the rim he did a nice job of playing off two feet, and showcased good body control to take some bumps while still being able to finish over bigger defenders.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"De'von Irvin","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"DeLaSalle","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"Real Phenom Nick","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Even playing up a year, De'von was arguably the most mature player on the floor in Real Phenom's game against [program_tooltip program_id='2078859' first='Starks' last='Elite']. Defensively he picks up full-court constantly and has the lateral quickness to force his man to consistently change directions with the ball. He fights to get over screens and communicates well in the half-court. Offensively he may not be a big scorer, but his unselfishness and willingness to keep the ball moving helps open up good looks for his teammates. Also had a possession where he pulled in multiple offensive rebounds on his own, and that type of effort is something that he brings to the floor every possession.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1442057"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Lake had a nice game helping lead [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans'] past ECI, as his strength and explosiveness at 6'5-6'6 was touch to match. One of those players who puts himself in the right spots at the right times off the ball allowing himself to catch and quickly power up to finish. Excels at making quick cuts in from the dunker spot. Has the type of frame that most high school forwards aren't able to match.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2109851' first='Bo' last='Draheim']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Maple Grove","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2075693' first='MN' last='Crossfire']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Bo put together a strong performance in the 8am game for Crossfire, really utilizing his strong frame to make plays off the dribble. He handled it well under-pressure and uses his body to shield off defenders. When there was a gap to the rim, Bo hit it like a running-back and got all the way to the basket where he was finishing at a high percentage. Perhaps most impressive though was how well he was communicating. He's such a vocal presence on the floor both calling out screens and hyping his teammates up after they made big plays. Big morale booster and vocal leader on the floor.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64578d4de0fa3"} /-->
