He's a tall guard who brings athleticism and shot-making to the floor. He can rise up over the top of defenders all the way out to 3-point, has the burst and size to finish strong inside, and brings a great change of pace to the game. He's at West Seattle now and is a high-level prospect to keep an eye on moving forward.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1696645"],"_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":"The 6-foot-6 wing continues to show glimpses of what could be. He's got the size and strength to finish inside and has looked better from long-range as of late. While he still mostly relies on spot up threes or straight-line attacks to the hoop, he does look like a more consistent shooter and is more comfortable making plays with the ball in his hands. He's also got the ability guard inside and out and should continue to progress forward this season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1631554"],"_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":"He's been an intriguing prospect for a while now but really showed that next step this summer as a guard/wing with length and touch. He's real wiry but still has a smoothness to his game. He can knock down the outside shot, rise up in the mid-range to nail down pull-ups, and has some defensive versatility showing he can block shots with his length.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2021597"],"_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":"I am all about this kid's game, and even though he might not get through the talent log jam at O'Dea to get a lot of minutes this season, he has big things ahead of him. He's undersized right now but plays an extremely well-rounded game and shows equal ability to score or facilitate. He's bursty, has a tight handle on the ball, and is tough as nails on both ends of the floor.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2173099"],"_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":"Ili-Meneese has the fantastic skill combo of toughness and smarts. He isn't afraid of pushing guys around, is strong with the ball while attacking the rim, and has the touch to finish after contact. With a good motor and the ability to make the right reads, he should be a key guy for Renton in his sophomore year.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2173096"],"_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":"This is another sophomore guard I'm all in on. Showki plays above his age on both ends of the floor. He's a shifty guard who's poised in condensed areas and has all the moves in his bag to create space for shots or get his man off-balance and head to the rim. He's got the craftiness and finishing ability to be a top contributor for Sammamish this winter.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1984479"],"_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":"The 6-foot-5 wing has emerged this summer as a rising junior. He can stroke the three, has the size and strength to finish in traffic in and around the paint, and is a big rebounder who can get it and go. Kwon can do a little bit of everything and looks ready to step into a big role at Pullman this season.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6541a472c1230"} /-->
