Offensively, Wyatt is raw and has a tendency to float out to the perimeter and shoot threes but he will only get better around the rim and his shooting is already good and should improve.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ec8ea2af2c4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124542"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"When motivated, I'm not sure there are many better point guards in the 27 class. Darian is quick and skilled with the ball on a string and is a good passer who sees the floor well. When he decides he wants to sit down and guard, he can. The only thing that will slow Shy's development is himself and his getting frustrated with things he cannot control.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ec8ea2af3e7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124537"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Paris reminds me of Henry Clay legend Marques Warrick at the same age. J'chaii is long and has a smooth game. He looks like he may be 6'4 or taller in a couple years. He played with great pace when I got to see him at the freshman showcase. I'd like to see him shoot the three a little more just to see his form but I definitely thing Paris can be a top player in this class, long term.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ec8ea2af4ee"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125716"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Keshawn stood out from the very first game at our Freshman Showcase and flashed some high level ball handling and passing skills. Moore looks like he could be a varsity starter for Todd Central this season and will need to add some bulk to his thin frame to better absorb contact at the rim and finish. Keep an eye on him as a possible top 2027 in the 4th region.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ec8ea2af587"} /-->
