<p>Third Ward in Houston is considered the "Heart of the City" with great talents coming through the University of Houston. Names like Akeem (Name-change Hakeem haven't occurred yet), Clyde Drexler, Benny Anders, Otis Birdsong, and many more have built. Players had a chance to increase their value right in front of the Cougar coaching staff. Lets take a look at some impressive performances.</p>

Zion have the patience to let the play develop before making his decisions.","_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":1987282,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Dorian Hayes","_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":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Ridge Point High School","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Texas Takeover","_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":"Hayes get better every time I watch him play. Great job of attacking defenders hip forcing them to open up. Plays with a toughness you only get from being around other tough players. Soft touch when finishing around the rim. His long arms can make it hard for ball handlers to see the open man. It was special to see playing on UH campus being coached by his dad on the campus his grandfather made history in.
