He pairs his high motor play with improving athleticism that should make for a common sight of Wilson playing around the rim. Currently projects as a u00223 and Du0022 type wing, but with more improvement to his handles, he could become a complete scorer down the road.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1613564"],"_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":"A physical prospect, Clark is a tweener right now. He's a load in the post with a strong frame but does step out and shoot it well from the perimeter.  The shooting is a promising addition to his offensive arsenal, that hints at the versatile weapon he should mature into. Longterm, he will need to continue to improve his ball handling and most importantly lateral quickness to be a more a versatile defender on the defensive end. There are a lot of fun traits in this still developing wing-forward prospect, that should see him terrorize the small school ranks with his collegiate upside.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1552344"],"_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":"An athletic and aggressive wing prospect, Muriithi had flashes as a freshman reserve for Putnam City West. This was most evident with the occasional highlight reel slam, while also playing the gritty defensive style that is common place for Patriots.  This spring he has enjoyed a strong grassroots season, showing off his potential as a game changer on both ends of the court. He's a slasher and high energy guy right now on the offensive end.  If his skill level can start to match his high energy, gritty playing style, he has the upside to be much higher in this class.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1987385"],"_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":"Ellis is a physical player, who shines on the defensive end. He uses a mixture of his already strong frame to disrupt the opposition by making them uncomfortable, but is eager to also move his feet to stay in front of ballhandlers. The willingness to do the dirty work on the defensive end is shown with the regular charges he's draws. Offensively, Ellis' jumper needs work but he's already a good finisher around the rim.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1503677"],"_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":"A switch up from other prospects on this list, Robinson is more of a skill based entrant. He's a smart off the ball mover, from hunting for perimeter shots to how he cuts to the rim. He looks like his game should age well as a u00223 and Du0022 wing. The long term question with him is will Robinson continue to grow and improve his athletic traits?  That's the difficulty with trying to judge 15-16 year olds, who knows when/if the growth spurt is going to hit? Still, Deer Creek made it to state u0022aheadu0022 of schedule this past season with a young core, look for Robinson's shooting and u0022knows how to playu0022 style to be a part of potential playoff runs.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1987386"],"_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":"Dubose caught eyes in the 17U Division last month with the OKC Icons. He's a raw prospect, but he's springy around the rim. As evident by the way he attacks the offensive glass for put-back dunks. There's big potential for Dubose to be a high flying finisher around the basket. While the upside is there for Dubose to be an intriguing prospect, further viewing is needed while playing for his high school. His current strengths of athleticism and energy are tailored made for the wide open nature of regional grassroots basketball, so it will be interesting to see how the rest of his game develops.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648b4e986da36"} /-->
