He's got good height and a very nice wingspan. There's athleticism to match as well. At the Summer Challenge, Acevedo showed that he can be a true 3 level scorer. He stepped outside and showed that he had range beyond the arc. Acevedo then finished with power through contact and completed the and 1. He's a prospect to keep an eye on.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1552426"],"_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":"Albea definitely stood out with his play at the the PH Circuit's Summer Challenge. He had the look of a good old fashioned bucket getter. Albea athletically attacked the basket off the bounce. He had excellent handles with both the left and the right. This helped Albea consistently find his way into the lane and with space when he wanted a mid range jumper. Albea felt the game and seemed to know when his team needed a bucket and he had that takeover ability to go with it.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1874731"],"_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":"Shouman was really a difference maker for his Illinois Storm 2025 team. He was so disciplined in all aspects of his game. Shouman rarely turns the ball over. Honestly, I don't remember a single one. He works hard without the ball, working the wing and cutting and finding open spots on the floor. Shouman shot the ball at high percentage, aided by the good looks that his work off the ball provided.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1588163"],"_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":"Zickert was an absolute bulldog for the Midwest Stampede 2026 team at the Summer Challenge.

The Prep Hoops Circuit's Summer Challenge in Chicago featured some high level talent. There were excellent players all over the gym on Sunday. We're going to look at 5 players that I thought had a standout Sunday at the Summer Challenge.
