He shows excellent balance and ball skills on his way too, and finishing, at the rim. Rubin can finish with both hands and shows touch in the mid range. He can pull up quickly off the bounce and get a clean shot off that's tough to challenge.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1598944"],"_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":"Bland is a really nice perimeter prospect. I really like the way he works on his way to the rim. Bland protects the ball at all times and looks to initiate contact. He does a fabulous job of playing off that contact and using his pivot foot when it's advantageous. Bland is a true 3 level scorer that features a pretty jumper.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"LaShed Velez","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Northeast High School","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Velez is a very intriguing prospect. He can use his handles to create space for his jumper. Specifically, his step back could become a go-to move for him. Velez is intelligent about using the pass to get a look at the rim, knowing that he's going to have a better shot when the ball comes back. Velez is a very pesky defender with quick hands that can create chaos on that end.","_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":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Chris Regino","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Southside High School","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"SA King Hoops","_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":"It all starts on the defensive end for Regino. He's extremely comfortable and effective defending from baseline to baseline. Regino uses angles well on defense and puts a lot of pressure on opposing ball handlers. He can play a fast paced offensive game and has a nice little head fake that gets defenders to leave their feet.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1452576"],"_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":"Leak is a really nice player and prospect. He's a physically strong wing that stays very active around the basket. Leak is at his best when he rim runs or works around the high post. Good things just seem to happen when he gets himself around the ball or the basket. Leak is the type of player that can play and benefit a team in any system.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64959c54eca79"} /-->
