Knowles plays with a high IQ and makes good decisions when he has the basketball in his hands on to shoot versus pass. He is very quick for his size where he can impact the game in a variety of ways where he can get his teammates involved. On the defensive side of the basketball, he is very active in the passing lanes where he can get steals which lead to fastbreak points on the offensive end.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1858994"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eEnrico Borio, u003c/strongu003eA 6-8 senior power forward and Jacksonville University commit is long, athletic and can stretch the floor with good instincts. Borio plays at a high level whether it's on the interior or when he is guarding out on the perimeter. His passing game is above-average where he sees the floor exceptionally well given his size and can play multiple positions on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Borio is very versatile where he can guard position 2 through 4 as his on-the-ball defense is still a work in progress. Really intrigued to see if Borio continues to get stronger this season before playing at the D-1 collegiate level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1055784"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eCaleb Williams, u003c/strongu003eA 6-0 senior point guard continues to display a ton of confidence on the offensive end of the floor, where he gains more consistency scoring from the perimeter. Williams also is dangerous on the attack where he can finish through traffic as well as being unafraid to get to the foul line.

Washington can finish above the rim as well as shoot effectively from beyond the arc. On the defensive end, he is very versatile and moves laterally around the perimeter as well as on the interior. Washington currently holds offers from Bethune-Cookman, Florida State, Stetson, Texas Au0026amp;M and others.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1542328"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eKymani Weathers, u003c/strongu003eA 6-8 sophomore center is a viable threat to crash the boards on both ends of the floor where he uses his length to an advantage.

Cook makes plays happen with and without the basketball in his hands as he uses his athleticism to get involved. He also has a big frame where he can score on the interior against multiple defenders using his length and strength to his advantage. Cook was named to the All-State Third Team last season averaging 18.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game for Gateway helping lead the Eagles to their first district title in school history.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1055798"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eJulian Clarke, u003c/strongu003eA 6-1 point guard and UNC-Asheville commit plays with a ton of confidence on the offensive end where he can score at the rim or from beyond the arc.
