But then there are other times where he looks like a throwback center who can go to work with his back to the basket. It's that type of versatility that has him committed to play at the D1 level. Against Forest Lake he was giving the defense problems with his passing ability, as his height allows him to see the floor from the perimeter and zip in passes over the top of his defender. Even spent some time handling the ball in pick u0026amp; roll settings, but can also excel as a pick u0026amp; pop big with his three point shot. Missed a few bunnies that I'm sure he'd like to get back, but when left with some room to operate Kyle did a great job of working for high percentage looks on the block.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1296153"],"_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":"Minnetonka came up one point short against Park Center, but I really liked the toughness displayed by Kayden. He drew three charges, with two coming as he slid his feet on the ball, and a third coming as he stepped into the lane and took a hard blow to give his team possession. Minnetonka is a team loaded with guards, so Kayden isn't always going to get the most touches on offense, but that doesn't stop him from producing. He excels at doing the dirty work as a rebounder, and often times that will lead to a couple of second chance buckets each game he plays. Gritty performance against one of the most talented teams in the state.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2103353"],"_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":"JJ is a player who probably could've been on the wing standout list as well, as he's just that versatile at 6'6. I thought he did some nice things as a passer, as on two occasions he was able to get two feet in the paint off the drive, and deliver in a quick pass to another forward for an easy lay-up. Showed he can stretch the floor as well with a pair of threes. In a tough matchup with Waconia JJ seemed to be making impressive plays consistently, whether it was scoring, dishing out an assist, or using his length to disrupt shots around the rim on defense. Could be in for a breakout junior season at Delano.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1617798"],"_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":"Spencer is another player who could be seen as a bigger wing, but is also so dangerous in that stretch-four role. He's continued to grow a bit since his sophomore season, and his game as expanded as well. We previously saw him as mostly a shooter, but against Chaska he was putting the ball on the floor and using his length to extend and finish at the rim. He's not the type of athlete who's going to rise up and dunk on you, but he does well to control his body and touch the ball in off the glass even in the presence of a defender. Will play a key role for a Sauk Rapids-Rice team that should have a very good winter.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1284106"],"_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":"Chiang had an impressive summer in terms of his recruitment, and after watching him on Sunday it's easy to see why. Obviously his defense and shot blocking immediately stands out, as he's so quick off the floor and has impeccable timing to rise up and block shots. Against Minnetonka I was also impressed with his offensive improvements. As a screener he has the ability to roll to the rim where he's capable of catching lobs and finishing with a dunk or touch off the glass. He's also added pick u0026amp; pop capabilities to his game as he's very comfortable shooting off the catch. We'll also see him pop out into the corners as a guard drives, often leading to some open looks or freeing up some space for his teammate.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1560864"],"_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":"JP started to come alive in the second half against Hopkins, and it started with his off-ball movement. He has a pair of talented guards that are going to be able to hit the open teammate, and Musoke recognized this. The forward made some great off-ball cuts and had some nice slips off screens leading to good looks at the rim. He moves well at his size and keeps the ball high up where smaller players weren't able to strip it as he went up to score.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1574213"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Daniel is a high academic student-athlete, and that intelligence shows on the court as well. He never looks rushed and you'll rarely see him make mistakes with the ball. He helped lead Edina past BSM with his ability to make plays using his strong frame at the rim, or stepping out and knocking down the mid-range jumper. If he catches on the block he's able to feel out his defender and attack at whichever angle is available because he has the soft touch to score with either hand. Has the vision to spot an incoming double team and immediately kick it out to an open teammate.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6528533643d38"} /-->
