He has been a big-time scorer in each of his three years at Riverside, compiling nearly 1,200 points so far in his high school career. He's good in the mid-range and is a strong finisher around the rim.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1376715"],"_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":"Denekas was dominant last season for the Mustangs, averaging 13.2 points and 10.2 rebounds a game. A 6-3 power forward, he has soft hands, good touch around the rim, and has worked to extend his game out to the perimeter a bit more within the last year. G-LR moving to the War Eagle from the Siouxland should be beneficial for him and the team as a whole this year.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1765521"],"_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":"Heydon had an incredibly productive freshman season, averaging 20.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.5 steals a game on nearly 49% shooting. A big wing at 6-4, he's able to do a little bit of everything on the floor for the Crusaders, and if he's able to add some consistent range to his arsenal, watch out.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1951796"],"_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":"A mobile 6-7 big man with some bounce, Haack was excellent as an interior scorer and rim protector last season for the Tigers, averaging 19.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks a game. With his mobility, he provides defensive versatility, and he finishes above the rim routinely. He's working to extend his range as well, and if he's able to turn himself into a 35-36% 3-point shooter, he'll be nearly impossible to stop at this level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1765506"],"_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":"Boulton is small, listed at 5-8 last year, but he's a heady guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands. He averaged 14.8 points as a freshman and shot over 39% from behind the arc. He'll be the focal point of the Braves' offensive attack as a sophomore, and he's good at the top of their 2-3 zone, using his quickness to jump passing lanes (3.0 steals a game).","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1751111"],"_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":"Putman showed the ability to score from all three levels last season for the Comets, putting up 14.5 points a game and shooting nearly 37% from behind the arc. A 5-10 guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, he'll have a chance to have an explosive scoring season as a senior following the graduations of Jensen Wedeking and Robert Paulsen, who combined to average 36 points a game.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1288890"],"_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":"A strong, physical, and nimble 6-5 forward who dominates the glass on both ends of the floor, Stensrud averaged 12.4 points and 10.4 rebounds (3.9 offensive) as a sophomore. He was dominant at our Top 250 Expo last weekend on both ends of the floor, finishing around the rim efficiently, controlling the glass, and protecting the paint as a shot blocker.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1436503"],"_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":"A versatile 6-5/6-6 combo forward, Eskildsen led the Vikings in scoring (14.8), rebounding (9.6), assists (4.0), steals (2.2), and blocks (1.4) as a sophomore. He has a good feel for the game, a great frame that he uses to absorb contact and finish around the bucket, and really good court vision.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1765504"],"_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":"Ballenger had a good freshman season, averaging 11.6 points and knocking down nearly 38% of his 3-point attempts. He's a really good shooter, especially off the catch, and he has worked hard throughout the spring and summer to improve as a playmaker and as a shooter off the dribble. Look for him to have a breakout sophomore season for the Falcons.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["1476981"],"_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":"Eberling, a 6-4 combo guard, is one half of one of the best backcourts in the class. He averaged 16.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists last season on nearly 49% shooting. He's a capable perimeter shooting threat, but is at his best when he's playing downhill and attacking the rim, using his bigger frame to finish through contact.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65037bcb839a7"} /-->
