His presence in the paint creates a deterrent for opponents, forcing them to alter their shots on the perimeter and think twice before attacking the rim. Offensively Thomas spaces the floor well as a 3-point shooter and his length/high release point enable him to easily shoot over most defenders. As his ability to handle on the perimeter improves his 1-on-1 game will improve with it. Andre is a player to keep an eye on.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1502804"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1502804' first='Josh' last='Goodall'] is a strong point forward who can score at multiple levels of the court. Goodall has good touch around the basket and spaces the floor well as a confident 3-point shooter. Josh also contributes on the glass at both ends, helping to end possessions and catapult the offense into fast breaks by being able to grab the ball and go. His persistent aggression on the offensive end helps him get to the line as well, furthering his contributions.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1630644"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1630644' first='Blake' last='Davidson'] is a talented forward with good passing vision and the ability to consistently throw passes on time to cutters. Davidson also hurts opponents on the offensive end with 12-15 foot jumpers, offensive rebounds thanks to his good length, and the occasional catch and shoot three. While his length does allow him to block and bother shots, he needs to improve his pick n' roll defense. At times he struggles to prevent quick guards from getting to the rim or drawing fouls against him but I believe he possesses the requisite quickness and athleticism to improve it.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1630661"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1630661' first='Preston' last='Ezewiro'] is a strongly built forward who is a major contributor on the glass at both ends and has good touch around the basket.

Enos also passes well for a big guy and has a good feel for the game. Ryan should be coming into more minutes next season with Cathedral Catholic losing several seniors so his development could accelerate quickly.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1502783"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1502783' first='Kendyl' last='Sanders'] is a truly ambidextrous point forward who relentlessly attacks the basket with strength, and can finish with either hand. Sanders has a great handle for his size and has the court vision to match as he uses the pressure he puts on defenses to set up teammates for open looks and layups. Kendyl utilizes his aggressive nature to be a major contributor on the glass at both ends, and to draw fouls and get to the free throw line.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1809037"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1809037' first='Kenyon' last='Demuynck'] has tremendously long arms, is a great athlete, and excels in the open court. Demuynck is a passable 3-point shooter at the moment but likely needs to refine his mechanics slightly to make his shot more consistent. Kenyon is able to bother a lot of shots most defenders on the perimeter are not, and also picks up a healthy amount of deflections and steals.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6476ee3ddee7f"} /-->
