<p>I will be posting evaluations based on what I observed from every team that participated in the DMV Freshman Showcase. Here is a look at those who played on Team 6. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Quimar Crittenden | Churchland (VA)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Crittendon was definitely one of my favorite finds at this event. I continue to be amazed by how well he was able to use either hand. Another thing I noticed was that Crittendon is equally adept at finishing whether planting from one or two feet. </p>

<p><strong>Ryder Gilfillan | St. Mary's Ryken (MD)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gilfillan is a 6'4" forward who was most effective when receiving the ball on the right block. He had a couple of nice finishes with his right hand during which he showcased a soft touch off the glass. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2139476' first='Ricky' last='Goings'] | Lanham Christian (MD)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>My favorite aspect of Goings' overall game is his defense. He is quick laterally and menacing at the point of attack. Goings picked at least a couple of pockets and went coast to coast multiple times. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Benjamin Gottfried | Sandy Spring (MD)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I noticed that Gottfried has efficient shot mechanics. There isn't a whole lot of wasted movement from catch to shot. In addition to being able to shoot, the 6'4" forward also provides value as a rebounder. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jordyn Houston | Woodside (VA)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I believe Houston has plenty of long-term upside. He is currently 6'6" with a frame that will only grow more powerful over time. Houston finished with either hand in the lane and showcased a soft touch on a corner 3 that was all net.</p>

<p><strong>Elijah Hughes | Covenant Life (MD)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hughes impressed me with his overall activity level throughout the event. He was particularly relentless on the offensive glass. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884163' first='Stephen' last='Mayernik'] | WT Woodson (VA)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mayernik is a 5'11" guard who impressed me with his court vision and unselfishness. He also proved that he could be dangerous as a floor spacer. </p>
