He has been showing his great vision by dropping no look dimes to cutting teammates, he has been being active off ball getting himself into scoring position as well. He can score on all three levels and is smooth when he is in the post using his size and quickness to get the defender off balance, scoring around the rim with short jumpers. On the defensive end he is a force on the inside making shots difficult and sending shots away at times.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1577248"],"_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":"Riddick is a player that has some speed at his size and can finish with finesse when he gets close to the rim. He at times can play above the rim but he is someone who likes to use his speed to beat defenders. He is smooth and can use up and under or can finish with a quick spin turn around jumper in the post. On the defensive end he can lockdown the paint being quick off of his feet to come up with blocks and makes less skilled driving players think twice about coming into the post. He has a lot of raw talent and will be a player to watch going forward to see if he can piece it together.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1318385"],"_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":"McDonald has been very active this spring and it has been paying off as he is making a case for being one of the well known players in the state. He has a very unique skill set as he can do everything on the court. He has great vision and is a willing passer, setting his teammates up for easy scoring opportunities. He can score on all three levels and is a knock down shooter from behind the arc. On the defensive end he crashes the boards and can get the break started, quickly kicking it out in transition. Will be one of the top players to watch heading into the summer.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1318394"],"_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":"When Sylla is aggressive he is one of the harder player to guard, as he has good size and strength when he is able to get the ball inside the paint. He uses his strength in the post to back players down and get into a position he feels comfortable to score from. He has some quickness and can handle the ball at times being able to get past defenders and get some easy basket. He has a presence inside the paint and can come up with some boards. Would like to see him be more aggressive in the post as I think he can be an interior force when he is. Will be a player to keep on the radar as he tries to step into being a rim protector.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1421260"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Dixon is a player that can get it done on both ends of the court, and has the speed to be dangerous in the post. He can be seen at times getting out quickly on the break and he plays above the rim finishing with dunks when he gets the ball in the post. He does have nice touch and can score in the midrange as well as stepping behind the arc at times to knock down the three ball. He has the strength to back defenders down and with his length is able to finish above them. On the defensive end he has quick feet and can get in front of the ball handler and send away shots. Will be a player to watch as he can be an anchor for the defense.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6478f54a05bb2"} /-->
