One of the wings is skinny and athletic. Super bouncy and he loves to show it off. He tried to dunk everything. And it led him to have a lot of dunks. A lengthy wing who plays with a lot of energy. He showed some good skill and touch around the rim. Had multiple mid-range pull-ups. A nice shooter but likes getting to the rim more.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2042518"],"_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":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Duncan-Spalding-250.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-2203316 alignrightu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Duncan-Spalding-250.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022200u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eSpalding is the definition of an inside-and-out player. He has really good size and strength that allows him to be effective against bigs and banging in the post but the athleticism and skills to do damage from the wing. He has an incredibly smooth stroke that he knocked down all day. He has a very good IQ as well. He always knew where to be defensively and then who to distribute it to. He was a good rebounder and I loved his ability to take it coast to coast.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1880970"],"_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":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Zymir-Knox-250.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-2203321 alignleftu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Zymir-Knox-250.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022200u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eKnox is a very aggressive and physical slasher. When he goes to the rim he seeks contact and does well at finishing through it. Knox is the biggest or strongest guard but his mentality helps him out physical a lot of defenders. He finds your chest and gets you out of his way when he attacks. Does a good job of giving himself an angle and finishing through traffic.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1943266"],"_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":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Kaden-Davis-250.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-2203329 alignrightu0022 src=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Kaden-Davis-250.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022200u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eDavis is listed at 6'4 and can do it all athletically. He has some great size and unbelievable bounce. His head can get to the rim. He uses it very well on the defensive end as he is a really good rim protector. Got multiple rebounds.
