At 6-6/6-7, he has the ability to create off the dribble for himself and his teammates, and he loves to attack the rim in transition and in the halfcourt setting, looking to dunk on anyone who gets in his path. He's a great rebounder who uses his size and explosive athleticism to control the glass on both ends of the floor, and his jumper has come a long way in the last few years. He averaged 20.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists a game last season for the Rockets.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1751184"],"_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":"A physical, versatile combo forward who can score inside and out with remarkable efficiency, Northup put up 21.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists a game as a junior for the Falcons. At 6-4, he has good footwork and touch when he's posting up smaller defenders, but he's also a good enough ball-handler and shooter to take advantage of when opposing teams put bigger defenders on him, taking them out to the perimeter and creating off the dribble or stretching the floor (39.8 3P%).","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1751110"],"_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":"Vander Zee often played third fiddle for the state champion Lions last season, but don't let that fool you - he was electric, averaging 17.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.2 steals a game on 62-48-60 shooting splits. An athletic 6-6/6-7 combo forward who can score inside and out, he's a major matchup problem at this level with his size, athleticism, and non-stop motor. He'll play college football at Iowa, but will be the focal point of the Lions' bid to repeat before heading to Iowa City.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1587307"],"_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":"Lieurance had some explosive scoring games as a sophomore for the Cougars, averaging 18.1 points a game on 49-41-82 shooting splits. He shoots it extremely well off both the dribble and the catch, getting the ball into his shooting pocket quickly and he has unlimited range. One of his biggest focuses during the summer has been improving his ball-handling and playmaking for his teammates, which will make him an even more dangerous offensive weapon for a Cascade team that should be much improved.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1381425"],"_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":"Watkins is one of the fastest players in the state with the ball in his hands, and his quickness can be a major asset on both ends of the floor as he's able to blow by defenders to get to the rim or set up his teammates, and he harasses opposing ball handlers. In addition to his ability to put the ball on the floor and create, he's also a fantastic shooter who buried nearly 39% of his 3-point attempts last season while averaging 14.5 points and 3.2 assists a game. He'll pair with [player_tooltip player_id='1171665' first='Brady' last='Martin'] to give the Falcons one of the best backcourts in the state.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1476991"],"_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":"Honaker is a long, athletic power forward who uses his length and explosive athleticism to control the painted area on both ends of the floor. He's a remarkably efficient offensive weapon who shot over 69% from the floor as a junior for the Storm, with a significant chunk of his production coming off of offensive rebounds or rim-running. He finishes above the rim with authority, and has the athleticism and length to be a switchable defensive weapon. He averaged 16.8 points and 8.0 rebounds a game as a junior and should be the focal point of the attack for Camanche this season.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1171681"],"_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":"Wilkinson is one of the best two-way players in the class, a good on-ball and team defender who communicates extremely well on that end of the floor. He has the athleticism and quickness to defend smaller players, and the toughness and physicality to bang against bigger bodies in the paint. Offensively, he's fantastic at getting to his spots, especially in the mid-range, showcasing one of the best mid-range games in the state. Throughout the summer, he showed increased confidence in his range, showing improvement from behind the arc, and if that holds up into the high school season, he'll have a huge senior year. He averaged 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.2 steals a game as a junior.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1751108"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Caton and the next player on this list provided Alburnett with a real scoring boost last season, with Caton averaging 13.9 points, 3.3 assists, and 3.0 steals a game on 42.3% shooting from behind the arc. He's a cat-quick guard who can blow by defenders and get to the rim, and he's also an electric shooter off the dribble, getting the ball into his shooting pocket in the blink of an eye off the bounce. He has unlimited range and is oozing with confidence in his jumper.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1751109"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Osborn is a long 6-4/6-5 wing who can also really shoot it, burying 38% of his 3-point attempts last season. He's better when he's operating off the ball, moving constantly and making his defender work to keep pace with him. he's great on the glass, averaging 6.8 rebounds a game, and is a reliable secondary ball-handler and playmaker who can create off the dribble. He averaged a team-high 16.0 points a game last season.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["1171689"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"Craven is a menace on the defensive end who has a knack for jumping passing lanes and turning defense into offense. He averaged 4.3 steals a game as a junior while also leading the Lions in scoring at 15.1 points a game. His jumper is still a work in progress, but he's really good when he's playing aggressively on the offensive end, looking to attack the rim and finish through contact. He's a good playmaking guard who can create for his teammates as well.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65046b5b7274b"} /-->
