<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tomorrow September 12 is National Video Games Day! How far we've come over the last 30 or so years. From Pong to games that are unbelievably realistic.

Sometimes in video games you get those matchups where you just can't stop a guy. Habhab could be just that. What are teams going to do to slow a tall and long 4 that can step outside and bury a triple just as easy as rim run and finish with force?","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1811797"],"_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":"If you saw Haverkamp play over grassroots season, than you understand seeing his name here.

Oh yeah, he's a plus defender as well.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1444645"],"_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":"Dillard II was electric in his junior season.

Dillard II can catch fire with his shot and absolutely change a game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1437574"],"_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":"Lawson has a chance to unleash this season.
