Mitchell put on a beautiful display of scoring in both games, mixing in a variety of three-balls, strong finishes, and transition dunks. Mitchell's skillset is polished and he possesses an understanding of the game that gives him a leg up. Physically, Mitchell is ready for the college level and provides good size for a combo guard.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1565985"],"_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":"Amari Owens came out attacking on Thursday and really stepped up as the catalyst for Bryan Station. He was very effective in the pick and roll, usually either scoring at the rim or dropping a dime to his big. Owens has a strong frame for his age and absorbs contact well on the drive. The lefty also showed off a nice jumper that went in a few times. Owens made the most of his trip to Atlanta and showed why many consider him a top 2026 prospect in the state of Kentucky.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1653952"],"_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":"The Norcross squad that played on Thursday is likely far from their November roster but the group they brought did some interesting things, [player_tooltip player_id='1653952' first='Michael' last='Pace'] especially. Pace loves to up the tempo and he was constantly beating defenses up the floor, slicing through bodies to get to the rim. You get so much activity from Pace on both ends of the floor, his size and athleticism providing a lot of versatility too. This month of June could be huge for Pace as he'll likely be playing in front of a lot of important eyes.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1966103"],"_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":"St. Francis as a whole looked very impressive on Thursday, adding some vital pieces around the returning backcourt of [player_tooltip player_id='1966103' first='Greg' last='Howard'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1501752' first='Reynolds' last='Escher']. Howard's abilities were on display nonetheless, rare speed to go with a nice handle and some creativity at the rim. He's electric in the open floor and scored a lot of his points by pushing the ball up the floor. Howard is far from a finished product and looks more and more intriguing with each step he takes.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2691467' first='Andric' last='Parent']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Mt.

Parent was a key piece for them last year and he brings back some real playmaking ability at the point. He's quick and speedy, able to get inside and create off penetration. SEBA's influence can be seen all over the Mt. Paran program and [player_tooltip player_id='2691467' first='Andric' last='Parent'] is a great example of that.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64832da020151"} /-->
