He had a monster block, that wasn't seen nearly as much as it was heard. He competed with an edge which is becoming his trademark. The wing's perimeter skills have improved and he showcased them with his grab and go and slashing ability today. His stretching out of his game included threes knocked down in catch and shoot situations.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1281369"],"_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":"Watching Sierra Vista play you get the feeling that Staton can dominate games without scoring a point.

On the offensive side, his hands are improved and he caught the ball and finished around the rim.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1268866"],"_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":"Shaw has the look of a Gatorade POY. He makes scoring look so effortlessly. His threes barely move the net and he seems to glide in transition, only choosing to turn it over and hammer home a dunk if a body is an added benifit.

He made a big play to win the game, stealing the ball, and converting for the game winner, Elam ending style. He's shifty enough to get just enough space for his shot. It always looks as if he's getting his shot off just over an outstretched hand. The sophmore guard showed a good combination of grit and skill.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["986960"],"_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":"Perhaps Jefferson is a name to throw out for POY.
