Seth improves two spots in our rankings. Seth has big upside. He was really good at altering or blocking shots either coming on help defense or guarding the ball. Can take his man off the dribble to the rim or knock down shots off of it. As he gained more experience he looked more and more for his shot. This coming season he will be a major player in Nassau county.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1866231"],"_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":"23. Jumps from #28 to #23. Quickly became one of my favorites on the Island. Got a late start to the season battling the flu. But when he got on the court he was a main contributor to their securing the Class AA state championship title. He was the missing piece. A terrific playmaker. He is very smooth with the ball. Weaves his way in the lane to create for himself or drops dimes. Excellent court vision. Changes speed and direction really well. Should be one of the top players on Long Island.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1866234"],"_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":"25.

Jumps five spots from # 32. The Long Island small school champion Southhampton flew under the radar for awhile. But as they continued to get impressive wins the word got out of their talent. Naevon was extremely impressive the first time I saw him vs Nassau county class AA Elmont. He is an active player on both ends of the floor. Outstanding rebounder. Soft touch from 15 feet and in. Can flash middle and get off a quick turn around jumper. He understand how to gain position on those flashes to catch the ball in traffic and then use his quickness to score.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1704770"],"_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":"36.

Frankie jumps from #39 to 34. Had 40 point games this past season. Handles the ball with confidence. Outstanding shooter from beyond the arc but also can beat his man off the dribble. Teams keyed on him this past season and he was still able to score the ball. He is a scoring guard who also as the ability and vision to get his teammates involved.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1361927"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"35.
