COMO-TNT Fall League Team Evals (Heat)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri concludes its team evaluations from the action at the COMO-TNT Fall League with a look at the members of the Heat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2119125' first='Keion' last='Cross'] (Battle): A 6'2" 2025 guard who was one of the most skilled and talented players in the league. He moves up and down the court in a very fluid manner. He's so smooth that you don't realize how fast he is going. He gets into the lane with ease to score on layups and his mid-range jumper is cash money. He gets excellent elevation to shoot over any defender. He has a high basketball IQ and he doesn't let himself get sped up. His playmaking skills also extend to his ability to deliver the right pass at the right time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rowdy Gohring (Fulton): A 6'3" 2024 guard who displayed the ability to score at all three levels. The smooth lefty has a nice step-back jumper, which he can hit in the mid-range or from 3-point distance. He handles the ball well and he creates the space with his good footwork. He also has a very effective fade-away jumper in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carson Cook (Battle): A 6'2" 2026 guard who played very well against the older players. He displayed a nice shooting stroke as he knocked down numerous 3-pointers during the day. He moved well without the ball to knock down shots off the catch and he could also create offense off the dribble when he needed to. He had a good shot-fake and good footwork to hit the triple.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyron Hamilton Battle (Battle): A 5'8" 2026 point guard who has excellent quickness. He was a blur in the transition game with his end to end speed. He could get into the lane on the straight line drive or he can break down a defender with his handles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2789808' first='Carter' last='Riley'] (Smith-Cotton): A 6'3" 2028 forward who held his own inside as one of the youngest players in the league. He did an excellent job on the defensive boards as he kept the ball up and protected it well from the little guys who were trying to swipe it away from him. When he saw an open lane, he did not hesitate to drive it to the basket to convert the layup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
