Carey has huge upside going into the upcoming season as he continues to grow and get stronger. His defensive footwork is still in progress but that will come as he gets more experience playing at the high school level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2194364"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='2194364' first='Martay' last='Barnes'], u003c/strongu003eA 6-2 guard that plays unselfishly and has a strong knack for getting his teammates involved on the offensive end. Barnes is a gifted athlete who can hit the jump shot as well as knock down shots from the perimeter with confidence.

Earl has a high release on his jump shot where he comfortably makes from way out on the perimeter. His footwork has continued to impress me at such a young age where he is able to defend both guard positions at a high level.
