A 6-5 bouncy wing who can defend multiple positions, he's a versatile offensive weapon who can create off the bounce for himself and his teammates. With his combination of length, athleticism, and talent, he's an intriguing prospect for colleges.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1376689"],"_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":"Arnold had some ups-and-downs in his first year at CBAL following his transfer from Lewis Central, but finished the year strong, averaging 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists a game. He's a strong wing who finishes through contact and does a good job getting to the rim and the free-throw line. His perimeter stroke is still a work in progress, shooting just 28% from deep last season. Look for him to be utilized a bit more as a playmaker this season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1171690"],"_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":"Jeppesen has been an elite scorer for the Bulldogs since his freshman season, and last year was no exception, averaging 21.3 points and 2.5 assists on 46-35-74 shooting splits. He's a volume scorer who can create looks for himself and his teammates, and he can score from all three levels in bunches.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1376717"],"_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":"Tams is a streaky shooter but when he gets it rolling, he's nearly impossible to slow down at this level. He has unlimited range and a quick release, and he does a great job using his footwork to create some additional space to get his shot off. He's primarily a scoring guard, but he is able to provide some secondary playmaking as well. Defensively he's a solid on-ball defender who moves his feet well and rotates.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1376714"],"_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":"DeVries was one of the top scorers in 2A last season, averaging 20.9 points a game for the Tigers. A 6-2 guard, he can put up points in bunches, using his size and strength to get to the rim for finishes. He's excellent at getting to the free-throw line, where he converts at a high rate, adding easy points to his lofty total. If he's able to become a more consistent perimeter shooter, he could be a really nice pickup for a D3 school.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1376690"],"_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":"A 6-3 wing with good size and length, Rasmussen had some big scoring nights last season for the Trojans, averaging 18.2 points and 4.2 rebounds a game. He has a good mid-range game and is able to get to the rim at a fairly high clip. He's a solid defender who gets into passing lanes and will contribute on the glass.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1751187"],"_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":"Vanfossan may be a bit undersized as a traditional “big”, but he was dominant last season for the Eagles, averaging 13.9 points and 12.5 rebounds a game on nearly 60% shooting. He has great, soft hands, and makes strong contact on his boxouts, a lost art in today's game. He pounds the offensive glass hard and also showed some ability to pass out of the post, dishing out a team-high 3.3 assists a game last season.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1256305"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Dawes can do a little bit of everything on the offensive end. If you need him to operate without the ball as a catch-and-shoot threat, he can do that. If you need him to run the offense and get his teammates involved, he can do that. He's a versatile threat in ball screen action who is a threat to turn the corner, stop and pop, or find the roll man with a pocket pass. He's a skilled guard who rebounds well on the defensive end, and he gets into passing lanes.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1751214"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"A 6-2 wing who is at his best when he's operating from 15 feet and in, Paulson averaged a team-high 13 points and 4.4 rebounds a game as a junior for the Titans. He does a good job using his size advantage to score against smaller defenders, and he contributes on the glass on both ends of the floor.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["1376707"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"A quick 5-11 point guard who does a great job getting his teammates involved and limiting turnovers, Otto posted a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio last season while ranking among the state leaders in assists, dishing out 8.2 helpers a game. He looks to push the tempo when the opportunity presents itself, and he also does a great job using his quickness and usage of ball screens to get into the teeth of the defense and then finding open teammates.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f8a6f71dc09"} /-->
