Marquart, is a shifty guard who can score and when I say score, I mean really score. The difficulty of the shots he was attempting and making were quite impressive to say the least. He was coming off of handoff's for three, attacking downhill in transition, and basically getting to any spot he wanted to. Other than scoring he did a great job of setting up his teammates to finish a look near the rim. Marquart's United As One team ended up falling in the contest in the end but overall, they left in all on the floor and had some players who preformed really well. Dylan being one of them.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1759902' first='Kayvion' last='Hodges']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Muscatine ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cpu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1759902' first='Kayvion' last='Hodges'] was flying all over the court, diving for loose balls, and doing anything he could to help his team try to pull off the victory in their contests this morning. Hodges, a 5'11 combo guard, put on a show. He was easily the best scorer on the floor for his team wether it was because of his pull-up jumper or getting all the way to the hoop. He was finding his open post players whenever they would screen-and-roll for him, giving them a good look at a lay near the rim. Lastly, he was a lock-down defender on any position between 1-4 with his versatility and ability to switch from a quick guard to a forward-type player. Overall, Hodges is interesting and a prospect to know going into high-school ball this winter. He should be just as u0026nbsp;dominate at the high school level with what I saw today but we will have to wait and see.u003c/pu003e","_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":"Liam Enright ","_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":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2078835' first='Wisconsin' last='Swing'] 16U","_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":"u003cpu003eLiam Enright is a guard who is very crafty when it comes to getting his teammates open. A player who can move without the ball and still produce for his team at an efficient rate. When he does have the ball in his hands, he is a creator who understands spacing, timing, and where the defense is suppose to be at on any given play. In his contest this morning all of this was on display and more as he led his team to a solid victory in the end. Enright is honestly not a player you would look at and think he would kill you but I would be careful. If you underestimate him, he is going to have 20/7/5 real quick. I'm excited to see what he can do for his squad the rest of the weekend.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1587383"],"_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":"u003cpu003eWe are only half way through Day 1 at this tournament and we already have a few candidates for player of the day. One of those candidates being [player_tooltip player_id='1587383' first='Jackson' last='Lieurance'] of Cascade. Lieurance put on a show this morning with a 36 point outburst on the way to a 61-53 victory. Lieurance was giving out buckets to anyone who was asking from them. In this one he was unconious from the field, showing everyone that guarded him that they need to put some respect on his name when he steps on the court. It's always a tough transition for kids when they go from playing AAU one week to high-school ball the next but Jackson seems to understand how to adapt quickly, no matter the situation. Something that shows just the kind of mental toughness he has to go along with the skill-side of his game. I don't expect him to average 36 all weekend but I'm sure he is going to be one of the top scoring players here when it's all said and done.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-647b774fd290b"} /-->
