He'll get quality playing time on the Varsity this season. He played well against quality competition at the 15U level. He has quickness, and moves to create shots for himself and others off the dribble, he has 3 range. He has patience, vision and good passing to run the point. His speed helps on defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1716575"],"_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":"Magana  gained valuable experience as a Freshman starter on the Varsity team. He's a quality ball handler with vision and passing to involve others first. He looks settled running the offense up top. He has range to knock down  3ptrs, 43%. He can hit the short jumper off the dribble. 11ppg his first year on the Varsity.

He looks to be a quality defender who has the length and foot speed to guard multiple positions on the court. We've seen him use his speed for slashing, cutting, and running the court in transition. He's a guard with improving handles, and speed to attack on the drive. He has some qualities on defense that standout.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1707467"],"_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":"Robinson had a good spring and summer showcasing his combo guard skills. The long wiry guard proved he could handle ball pressure in the open court. He spread the ball around in the half-court. His improved handles and lengthy arms allowed him to avoid contact, finish high off the back board on the drive. His length on defense helps.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1721258"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"He's one of the taller prospects in this group at 6'8. He has an improving skill set for his size, showing patience and improving foot work in the post area. He's a triple threat at the high post taking full advantage if his passing, and handles to drive it in. He can hit the free throw jumper and step out for a 3 at the top on occasion. He rebounds,","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1707431"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"He's long, wiry and still growing, he has a frame to fill. He's a bit raw, but has the size and understanding to be a key contributor on this team. Ward could be a stock riser in this class if he continues to develop his game, late bloomer maybe. He has paint awareness on the defensive side of the ball, effects shots, and will get rebounds. He's a passer from the high and low post.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1703084"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"The big guard did a bit more ball handling and passing in the open court and in transition this spring and summer playing 15U. He plays under control and makes good use of his body to help protect the ball on his drives into the paint, and handling contact in the paint. He has range to knock down the 3pt shot, and a body to help rebound.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64cd32fe5f7f9"} /-->
