Sullivan, a 6'5 combo forward, played the inside position for the most part when I saw him compete over these past few days and he killed it. In the 16U championship Sullivan was a key player to his teams success in the end. He started off the game with his team getting him the ball in open spots near the hoop, where he would convert for tough buckets. Not many players this weekend went up against 6'10 - Big man Kaden Williams of the 2025 Ducks and played well enough to talk about it, Sullivan did. In the end, Carter was a standout player this weekend and one of the best I saw compete at this age level with his size/skill-set.","_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":"Daniel Sykes","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Royalty Hoops Ect 2025","_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":"When we are talking about GameChangers, we are talking about players that change the game for their perspective team, giving them a chance to compete in that ball game as it moves towards the end of the contest. Daniel Sykes lived up to that definition this weekend with his play for his Royalty Hoops Ect 2025 team. Sykes is smooth moving guard, with the ability to change his balance and direction in the blink of an eye. He is a fundamental shooter, who is used to catching the ball and letting it fly from deep on a regular basis. In his Sunday morning contest Sykes had near 20 points, with a plethora of made shots from all over the court. Defensively he showed that he was solid on-ball defender, while moving into help-side whenever he could on the back end of things. Moving forward this is a name to know out of Illinois. Sykes is going to be a freshman this season and he is going to be ready to show everyone watching that he can play at a high and elite level. Something he did really well this weekend.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1588155"],"_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":"Maxwell Muhl was the quickest guard that I saw competing at the 16U level this weekend. Let me rephrase that, Muhl was the quickest guard I saw competing at the 16U level this weekend, that played in control with the basketball in his hands. He displayed that his first step is very fast and he can get to the hoop with one dribble from anywhere around the three point line. Once he puts that dribble on the ground, he blows by his defender for a finish or assist near the rim on a consistent basis. It's quite impressive to watch up close. Other than that Muhl did a great job all weekend of leading his team and controlling the game from a pace perspective. There are a handful of other players on this team that I will be writing-up over the next few days but the one who stood out the most was Max. Another interesting prospect moving forward when you consider he is doing all of this while playing a year up.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1552369"],"_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":"ABC Elite 2026 won the 15U Championship at Arch Madness and a big reason for that was because of the point guard play of Kinyun Johnson. Johnson is a fundamental player. He takes what the defense gives him and never tries to do too much when it matters. He is very good at handling the ball, while being an elite shooter from all over the court. He possesses the ability to pull up from 5Ft away or right in front of the volleyball line, either way, there is a good chance that the ball could go in. All weekend long Johnson was the leader his team needed, while he helped them win a championship. He was definitely one of the most sound guards there throughout all age levels over these past few days.","_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":"Jayden Slaughter ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Hall","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"Arkansas ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Jayden Slaughter has a high ceiling when it comes this sport. It's very easy to see just by watching him compete for a few minutes out there. Slaughter is a 6'4 combo player. I say a combo player because he can move and be a guard who handles or he can dominate the lane with his size and athleticism. Defensively, he has the ability to defend a quick moving point guard or he can can switch and guard a bigger player in the post. Either way, I'd put my money on Saughter getting a stop more than anything else during those possessions. This weekend at Arch Madness Slaughter showed that he was a player that can impact the game in almost every single way while he is in. He is an individual that has a bright future on the court.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64c8386183fcc"} /-->
