Acevedo can also score off the bounce and on dribble-drives where he brings a smooth handle for his size. Since the start of his sophomore season, Acevedo has also gained more confidence in shooting from the perimeter as well as his precision passing to get his teammates involved in the action. On the defensive side, he has good rotations and footwork where he can guard out on the perimeter with his length.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":2208437,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2217939' first='Xavier' last='Kirkpatrick']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Forest","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076152' first='KA' last='Nightmares']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='2217939' first='Xavier' last='Kirkpatrick'], u003c/strongu003eA 6-1 junior combo guard had a limited summer due to an ankle injury but when he is at full strength, Kirkpatrick plays with a ton of quickness and has a knack to score on all three levels. On the defensive end, Kirkpatrick has a strong skillset where he can guard on the ball as well as off the ball at a high level. Expect Kirkpatrick to have a strong junior season where college coaches show attraction in the two-way combo guard.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1540031"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eIan Kyler, u003c/strongu003eA 6-3 junior combo guard has a dangerous shot from beyond the arc where he is explosive in the open court where he initiates the offense. He is also an underrated rebounder for his size where he can get the basketball in transition. Kyler also has a strong skillset on the defensive end where he is very active in the passing lanes where he can get steals and deflections turning into offense in a hurry. Kyler's IQ is off the charts with his decision making and is always finding an open teammate to set them up for a great shot selection.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1293294"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eIsaac Mothersill, u003c/strongu003eA 6-0 junior combo guard can impact the game on the offensive end in a variety of ways whether it's his ability to score on all three levels or with his facilitating. Mothersill also plays with a knack that he can drive-and-kick to find open teammates as well with his precision passing and great court vision. On the defensive end, he is very tough to matchup with as he shows a ton of quickness and versatility where he can guard both on and off the ball at a high level.

Sanders can control the game at his own pace making the right plays. Sanders averaged 16.0 points, nearly eight rebounds and nearly four assists per game as a sophomore last season. Sanders does most of his offensive work on the interior where he can score against multiple defenders and is unafraid to finish with contact. College coaches should start taking a look at Sanders as he continues to polish into becoming one of the top junior prospects across the state.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650c672f8bb11"} /-->
