He is also one of the best defenders and can guard anyone. Arguably the most important characteristic that Jack brings each game is his leadership.rnrnOn offense Jack is a threat to score from all three levels. Jack can step up and run an offense if needed, or he can play off the ball coming off of cuts and screens to get himself open for a three, a mid range shot, or an easy layup. One of Jack's greatest strengths on offense is his ability to create space to get off a shot. His ability to change speed and direction, as well as step back and fadeaway in the mid range makes him a scoring threat every game.rnrnOn defense Jack's quick feet and athleticism allow him to stay in front of defenders and contest every shot. Jack is also one of the most vocal players on the court and is always talking and calling out screens for his teammates.

At 5'10u0022 and 160 lbs he uses his size and strength to get by defenders and keep opponents in front of him on defense. Isaiah is extremely explosive, and has a quick first step allowing him to get by defenders with ease. Isaiah can play either guard position and will exceed in both. The biggest strength Isaiah brings to the court is his defense.rnrnOn offense Isaiah is best when he attacks the rim. His strength, explosiveness, and handles allow him to get by defenders and break down defenses. Isaiah's ability to change speed and direction allows Isaiah to control the tempo and the pace at which the game is played it. Isaiah also excels in the pick and roll.

Shane is also one of the most underrated players in the class of 2024. The versatility of Shane on both ends of the floor allows him to play any position on offense, and guard one through five on defense. Shane is one of the hardest working players there is. Shane had 24 points 7 assists and 8 rebounds in the first game. He is a triple double threat and a beast.rnrnOn offense Shane can blow by slower defenders on the perimeter. Shane can also make defenders pay for not closing out on him from 3. Or Shane can simply post up defenders using his strength to finish around the rim, or fade away and use his nice mid range shot to score over defenders. Shane can handle the ball and not only create for himself but make great passes to set up his teammates for open looks. Shane is also a great offensive rebounder and great at creating and scoring on second chance point opportunities.rnrnOn defense Shane is so long and athletic he is able to swat shots and keep defenders in front of him.

The hustle and intensity he brings to each game is near impossible to match.rnrnOn offense Elliott can knock shots down and attack the rim. What takes him to the Next Level is that he is constantly moving on offense and never standing still. He is one of the smartest basketball players there is which allows him to be a leader and direct traffic on the offensive end. He is one of the most unselfish and team first players that he would rather set a screen to get a teammate open or make the extra pass than forcing up a shot.rnrnOn defense Elliott plays with high intensity and pressures opponents. Elliott is just as good of an off ball defender as he is an on ball defender. Elliott can stay with his man and deny him from touching the ball. Elliott is always the first one to hit the floor, or to dive for a loose ball. He is always talking and communicating with his teammates. He just does all the dirty work that most players don't want to do.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6491c6dbb1b2b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2025136,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Bryce Wejuli","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"North Babylon High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Next Level Sports","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Bryce has a lot of potential and shows what his full potential is in flashes when his playing confident and aggressive.
