Campbell-Finch does a great job at initiating the offense where he has a smooth handle of the ball playing with more confidence as well as scoring in bunches across all three levels. He brought a high IQ to the table in the games against Edgewater and Hialeah Educational Academy where his game has continued to improve.","_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":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Brady Knutson","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Estero","_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":"The 6-3 senior point guard is one of the top three-level scorers in the Southwest Florida area, where he can surprise you when it comes to making plays at the front of the rim. Knutson is considered an above-average rebounder as well where he can push the basketball up the floor effectively in transition. His ability to score off the bounce and off the catch have improved since the start of last season. He's off to a strong start, averaging 25.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game through their first two games this season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1301767"],"_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":"The 5-11 junior guard will frequently finish around the rim getting buckets of his own, but can also impact the game without the basketball in his hands. Sartin is a pass-first guard who plays with an unselfish edge where he is developing to be a top-ranked point guard in the area.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1433153"],"_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":"The 6-1 senior guard is a pest on the defensive side where he shows good movement whether it's on or off the ball. Boakye is also very active in the passing lanes playing with good energy where he gets tips and steals which lead to fastbreak points on the other end. On the offensive end, Boakye has had a strong start to the season where he is finishing at the front of the rim showing his ability to draw contact getting to the free throw line. His perimeter shooting has also taken strides in limited attempts as well to begin the season.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1055760"],"_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":"The 6-2 senior point guard has a smooth inside-out game where he can score on the block or off the catch around the perimeter. Murray has proven to be a matchup nightmare on the offensive end where he has a quick first step on the attack as he can blow by defenders to finish around the rim. Murray has also proven to be an elite decision maker when he has the basketball in his hands, but can also slide off the ball to make an impact.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":2283249,"_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Preston Linville","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Wiregrass Ranch","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"PSB Tampa Bay","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"The 6-4 senior wing has taken advantage of when it comes to shooting from the perimeter as he knocked down four 3-pointers in each of his team's first two games. Linville is a pure shooter who can get hot in a hurry if you leave him uncovered as he is playing with a ton of confidence in his game right now. Linville is also an above-average rebounder for his size where he can quickly make the right reads on controlling the game. Look for Linville to have an exciting senior season as he could start gaining interest from college coaches as his senior season rolls on.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6564b4d682b17"} /-->
