Bryant is very quick and athletic for his size where he does a great job at pushing the basketball in transition as well as displaying a strong IQ. On the defensive side, he has great ability to get to his spots and cover a lot of ground. I've seen Bryant numerous times this summer and fall as he continues to improve his game every time he steps onto the floor. Look for him to have an exciting junior season where college coaches will start to attract his attention.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1579754"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eJah Chin, u003c/strongu003eA 5-10 junior guard is strong and shifty when he has the basketball in his hands where he makes the right plays. Chin is a true and natural three-level scorer who has displayed more confidence this year as he looks to have a big season ahead. He is a terrific finisher around the rim and is unafraid to absorb contact where he can get to the free throw line. His size doesn't indicate how tough he is on the defensive end as well where he can guard multiple positions with his versatility. He is also an above-average rebounder for his size as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1988096"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eGiordan Easley, u003c/strongu003eA 6-0 junior guard who comes to Florida from Minnesota is a true three-level scorer who displays a ton of creativity on the offensive end. His ability to stretch the floor on the offensive end as well has continued to improve where he can make plays happen with and without the basketball in his hands. He is also an underrated passer from the guard position where he can dish out numerous assists. Look for Easley to have a stellar junior season where college coaches could be on his radar.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1620357"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eJoseph Gayle, u003c/strongu003eA 6-4 junior combo guard who does a great job at playing under control at both ends of the floor. He is smooth around the rim where he can finish on both sides as well as making some creative moves off the bounce. His perimeter shooting is starting to gain more consistency as well as his ability to shoot off the catch. On the defensive end, Gayle is very versatile where he can guard multiple positions with his length and athleticism. He is at his best when he is harassing opposing ball-handlers as well as being active in the passing lanes. Excited to see Gayle continue to round out his game and see college coaches on his radar.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2306307' first='Jayelen' last='Jonas']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Blanche Ely","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"Team Wright Basketball","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='2306307' first='Jayelen' last='Jonas'], u003c/strongu003eA 6-5 junior guard who can play out on either wing is long, athletic and bouncy around the rim. His ability to make plays without the basketball in his hands has said a lot about his game from the summer as well as here in the early stages of fall. He is very active on the glass as well where he can score off put-backs or pushing the basketball up the floor in transition. Jonas is a rising prospect in the Class of 2025 and could have a big junior season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2217920"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eMaliq Sosa, u003c/strongu003eA 6-5 junior guard who transferred from Seffner Christian to West Oaks Academy over the summer is one of the top polishing prospects in the state. He is relentless when it comes to finishing around the rim while absorbing contact. Sosa also adds a nice mid-range jumper to his game where he can score off the bounce as well as off the catch at a high level. On the defensive end, Sosa plays with a ton of aggressiveness and versatility where he can jump the passing lanes as well as block shots without fouling. He adds great length as well and has improved his game every time he takes the floor.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6530084fe3cb9"} /-->
