He is unafraid to finish at the front of the rim on the attack where he muscles his way to score against bigger defenders. His on the ball defensive skills have continued to improve as he has a good skillset of speed and strength where he can guard out on the perimeter. He's an above average rebounder for his size and expect him to continue to elevate his game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1770030"],"_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 5-10 sophomore guard plays a complete all-around game whether it's his physicality on the offensive end or being a disruptor on the defensive end. He is a smooth finisher on all three levels where he does a great job at getting to the free throw line. Look for Tipton's stock to continue to rise as he gears up for his sophomore season. He averaged a team-best four steals per game last season as a freshman.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Corenzes Dennard","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Andrew Jackson","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"River City Hoops","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The 6-5 sophomore forward is multi-versatile on the offensive end where he has improved his game as an inside-out scoring threat. His energy level intensifies when finishing at the front of the rim against multiple defenders. On the defensive end, Dennard plays with a ton of length where he rebounds well from the weak-side and can do a great job when it comes to challenging shots. He has a smooth handle and has got more comfortable when pushing the basketball up the floor whether it's in transition or in the half-court. He could become a real valuable guy over the course of the next three years, as his game continues to mature.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2134674"],"_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":"A 6-2 sophomore guard who is a high-level passer and will often knock shots down from the perimeter. McFadden also plays hard-nose defense when it comes to guarding on the ball as he applies pressure where he can get strips leading to baskets on the other end. On the offensive end, McFadden can also finish strong on the rim off the bounce where he is unafraid to get to the free throw line.
