<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is our second article of the RCS Sports Season Opener from last weekend. A lot of players showed up to hoop at this tournament, and some made their names known, while others raised their stock even higher. Let's take a look at some athletes who had impressive showings...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1216535"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2277191,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ashton displayed a very dynamic skillset in Beaumont Westbrook's early afternoon contest against San Antonio Wagner. In a 76-64 Bruins win, Simmons scored 20 points on 6/13 from the field and netted 7/9 from the foul stripe. Simmons also showed his ability to dish the ball to his teammates efficiently, racking up 7 assists and also pulling down 8 rebounds, almost notching a triple double. Simmons is a very smart player when it comes to leading a team down the stretch of a contest and showed why he gained several divison 1 offers over the last few years. Look for the recent TCU commit to consistently put up similar numbers throughout the course of the regular season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":2277196,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Kaden Tate","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Shadow Creek","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Kaden showed that he can play with heart and energy in Shadow Creek's Saturday game against ATL Pebble Brook. Using their size and athleticism, the Sharks outplayed the smaller Falcons and constantly went to the post for easy buckets to take a sizable lead throughout the main stretch of the contest. Tate used his wingspan and height to get rebounds over smaller opposing defenders, and score underneath at an efficient rate as well as knocking down a couple of mid range jumpers. Kaden displays patience on both sides of the ball and is a good vocal teammate on the defensive end. Look for his stock to rise as Shadow Creek looks to make a huge impact during this season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1777854"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":2277201,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='2077355' first='Elijah' last='Garrett'] played a huge role as the second leading scorer in the Bruins game against SA Wagner. Garrett shot efficiently from the field as he was 5/10 with 13 points and also dished out 4 assists to open teammates for knockdown shots. Elijah made a strong case for himself to be known as the best sophomore in all of Greater Houston, using his speed and shiftiness to score the ball on offense and notch a couple of steals on defense, possessing tremendous footwork. Elijah also will crash the boards when necessary, using his athleticism to leap over his matchup and grab a clutch rebound. I look forward to watching Garretts potential skyrocket through the roof, given he is only a sophomore and will just continue to improve.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":2277204,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"J'Mar Franklin","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"CE King","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Franklin has been showing lately that he is very underrated as a facilitator. J'Mar has shown great ability as a pass first point guard, but in the first game of the day on Saturday in a victory against St. Johns, he showed he can score the basketball as well when needed. J'Mar shot 7/15 from the floor and 3/7 from long range, dropping 20 points and 13 assists to notch a big time double-double to help the Panthers notch a close victory. Franklin always knows where his teammates will be on the offensive end at all times and figures out ways to get the pass to them to put points on the board. He does not let his size define him, playing very physical defense on the other end of the ball and bodying up his matchups. Look for him to be a very underrated prospect looking to make a big time impact and show why he deserves a spot at the next level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655a75ef9e05b"} /-->
