Wright has an incredible build for a point guard where he continues to develop his game every time he steps out onto the floor. Wright plays with a ton of patience and under control where he makes the right plays. On the defensive end, Wright is a disruptor in the passing lanes utilizing his quickness and energy. He is also considered to be an above-average rebounder where he can quickly push the basketball up the floor as well as have a quick step finishing at the rim. Wright is currently committed to Baylor University.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1055748"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eJaylen Robinsonu003c/strongu003ernrnA 6-6 senior forward who transferred from Providence to DME Academy has a strong knack for making hustle plays on both ends of the floor. Robinson can find ways to score whether it's beating the opposition off the dribble or scoring off the catch. On the defensive end, Robinson is a bouncy athlete where he can challenge shots at the front of the rim as well as out on the perimeter playing with a ton of length. Over the course of the off-season, Robinson has continued to improve as a ball-handler and perimeter scoring threat.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1055770"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eWillie Sheppardu003c/strongu003ernrnSchool: West Oaks AcademyrnrnA 6-0 senior point guard is lightning quick when he has the basketball in his hands as he plays with a head full of a steam. Sheppard transferred from Oldsmar Christian to West Oaks Academy where he is one of plenty new faces for their program heading into the season. His offensive skillset is nearly flawless as he plays under control where he makes the right reads and has continued to improve his outside shooting and playmaking. On the defensive side, Sheppard plays with a ton of energy where he hustles after loose balls and applies great on-the-ball pressure. I'm really excited to see Sheppard take the floor this season and it shouldn't take long for him to get acclimated to his new teammates.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2134650"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eJayden Joseph u003c/strongu003ernrnA 6-2 sophomore guard who transferred from Chaminade-Madonna to West Oaks Academy during the offseason.

On the defensive side, he plays with a ton of activity where he applies great pressure around the rim and rebounds well for his size. Joseph is already receiving interest from several mid-major schools as well as holding offers from Florida State, Mississippi State, Oregon, UCF and USC.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1633071"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eRylan Kellyu003c/strongu003ernrnSchool: Southeastern Prep AcademyrnrnA 6-3 sophomore guard who has a great feel and understanding for the game at a young age.

He plays around the rim with great length as he is an above-average rebounder where he's battling bigger players for positioning. On the defensive side, Kelly shows a ton of quickness on opposing guards keeping them away from getting easy looks at the basket. Keep an eye on Kelly as he continues to get better every time he steps onto the floor.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1696183"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eKayden Allenu003c/strongu003ernrnSchool: Montverde AcademyrnrnA 6-6 sophomore guard who can score well off the dribble as well as off the catch.
