Saez is a lengthy slasher who battles for rebounds at both ends of the floor as well as covering a ton of ground on the defensive end of the floor. He is very active on the offensive end of the floor as well knocking down shots from the mid-range and is also unafraid to finish around the rim. He continues to be an elite decision maker as well when he has the basketball in his hands as he continues to develop his all-around game. Jomar has the potential to be one of the top ranked players in his class as he will be a name to know the next few years.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2194891"],"_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":"The 5-11 freshman point guard has plenty of skillsets whether it's his athleticism, speed and basketball IQ. Daughtry does a great job at getting his teammates involved whether it's his crisp passing skills or setting elite on-ball screens. He can score across all three levels on the offensive end and plays with a ton of maturity for his young age. On the defensive end, Daughtry has good speed to guard multiple positions and is unafraid when it comes to playing with length at the front of the rim. He already holds an offer from Arizona State but don't expect that to be his only offer as he is constantly improving his game.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2140424"],"_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":"The 6-0 freshman point guard continues to develop as a top-tier prospect in the class. LaSalle can knock down open 3-pointers from both wings as well as the top of the key with confidence. He is also unafraid to finish around the rim while absorbing contact as he continues to get stronger. His high basketball IQ says a lot about his game as he continues to get better every time he steps onto the floor.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2125506"],"_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":"The 6-3 combo guard is one of the most exciting freshman to watch this season. He can shoot the ball efficiently well whether it's off the dribble, off the catch or spot-ups. He continues to showcase his length on the defensive end of the floor as well where he can guard multiple positions and is unafraid when it comes to challenging shots at the rim. Gornto currently holds an offer from Jacksonville University but expect many more offers to come for the freshman as he is expected to have a big season.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2125480"],"_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":"The 5-11 freshman guard poises good speed and quickness when he has the basketball in his hands as he is a good decision maker. His ability to beat defenders to finish at the rim says enough about the early growth in his game where he is continuing to get better. He also has a smooth mid-range game on the offensive end as well as having expanded his range shooting comfortably from beyond the arc. Grimsley has solid size from the guard position and could see a good amount of minutes this upcoming season for Berkeley Prep.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2125475"],"_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":"The 5-6 freshman guard has a smooth handle and uses his quickness to get by defenders finishing at the front of the rim. He is also unafraid when it comes to the physicality as he can score off a dime while playing with a ton of confidence this past summer. On the defensive side, Alderman's strength and speed allow him to stay in front of opposing guards where they have a hard time getting a good shot off him. Expect Alderman to be very active in the passing lanes as well where he plays with a ton of hustle and energy. He has an advanced game for a young age where he is only going to continue to grow and improve his game.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65413f9063df4"} /-->

The 2023-2024 Florida High School Basketball Season is officially underway. Prep Hoops Florida is taking a deeper dive at some of the top under the radar prospects by class. We will start with the freshman and work our way up to the senior class by the end of the week.
