He's a dominant interior scorer with good size and physicality at 6-5, which he pairs with soft hands and good touch around the rim. He has continued to extend his range a bit as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1751095"],"_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":"Frazell is a key part of a Go-Hawks perimeter that can really, really shoot the rock. He buried 41.4% of his 3-point attempts as a junior, showing the ability to torch teams from the arc both off the dribble and the catch. He averaged 13.8 points and 2.0 assists a game.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1759900"],"_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":"Jackson had a really good sophomore year for the Knights, averaging 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists a game while serving as the primary ball-handler and playmaker. He's a tough 6-0 guard who is at his best when he's playing downhill and attacking the rim. With the addition of [player_tooltip player_id='1660062' first='Navon' last='Shabazz'] this year, Jackson will likely play without the ball in his hands a bit more this season, and he has shown the ability to knock down shots off the catch as well.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1484410"],"_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":"Watters burst onto the scene with a great week at the state tournament as a freshman, and then had a solid sophomore year as he became the Sabers top option. He averaged 14.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists last season on nearly 53% shooting. He's a long, mobile big man who runs the floor well and finishes above the rim. He provides versatility on the defensive end, and is working to extend his range a bit, which would make him a really dangerous weapon at 6-6/6-7 and with some agility and length.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1381416"],"_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":"A mobile 6-5 big man who scores with incredible efficiency around the rim, Meyer averaged 14.6 points and 7.2 rebounds a game as a sophomore for the Lions, while shooting an eye-popping 71.4% from the floor. He does a good job establishing early position and using his size, athleticism, and footwork to score at the bucket. Many of the same attributes that make him a good basketball player make him a coveted football prospect, holding a handful of Power 5 offers on the gridiron.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1945652"],"_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":"A big 6-5 wing who does a majority of his damage by getting to the rim, Mestas averaged 15.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists a game as a junior for the Comets. He uses his size, athleticism, and strength to get to the rim and finish through contact. He's not much of a shooting threat, but he rebounds well on both ends of the floor.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1222528"],"_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":"A skilled sharpshooter with good size at 6-3/6-4, Bryte moves really well without the ball in his hands and has a quick release off the catch.

He has great footwork and touch with either hand around the rim, and has a smooth stroke out to the arc at 6-6. He rebounds well on both ends of the floor, can protect the rim, and is a willing passer out of the block. After averaging 13.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks a game on 54-48-58 splits, he's primed to have a monstrous senior season for the Bobcats.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["1765515"],"_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":"Coon is an explosive athlete, a versatile weapon on both ends of the floor who uses that athleticism and his size to dominate games. He's a bouncy athlete with great hands, and at 6-5, he finishes above the rim at a high level. He has worked to add more range to his game, and at our Top 250 Expo in September, he was unstoppable as a three-level scorer and playmaker. He averaged 13.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks a game as a freshman for the Tornadoes.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65144ebc643ff"} /-->
