With above average size, the guard can see above the defense for skips or bounce passes through tight windows. Capable of stepping into pull-up threes over the light contest, Orchard is a necessity to follow with one of, if not the most talented Western Slope program in the state.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e59c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2144052"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Although taking on his first year with a major role on varsity, Hanlon is already refined within his role as a complementary scorer. Effective picking his spots for shot attempts on all three levels, the guard possesses enough size to be a dynamic shotmaker under a wide variety of circumstances. Committing to Friends University, the guard has already done his due diligence and received notice.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e600"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1137819"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Possessing one of the quickest releases in the state, there are few guards who can rise into three point attempts like Chapman. Alongside his aggressive ball screen defense, the guard will be a valuable shotmaker on a quickly progressing Rangeview program.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e670"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1190754"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ghide maximizes his role through off-ball movement and a high motor on the glass. He provides assertive defensive instincts, getting into position early to contest shots at the rim or along the perimeter. No doubt Ghide has played a valuable role in Cherokee Trail's 2-0 start to the season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e6c2"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1641161"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Thomason possesses a wide reach at his position, allowing him more room on jumpers and self-created moves. Certainly dependable knocking down spot-up attempts, the guard showed notable growth facilitating for teammates throughout the summer, taking on larger responsibilities handling the ball. Although Chaparral is filled with high upside perimeter playmakers, Thomason will be a steady helping hand for this group, vying for a state title.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e714"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1764309"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A tall wing who was knocked down beyond the arc, Bazan-Torres drew notoriety at a few showcase events this fall thanks to his efficient offensive impact. Active attacking closeouts for straight line drives to the rim, his wide reach allowed him to score past incoming contests at a fairly high rate, despite being the focal point of many scouting reports. He will be a difficult perimeter threat to contain, impactful from quite a few areas.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e76c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2173215"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Wyoming transfer is a guard worth following, given his potent shotmaking beyond the arc throughout various showcase events. Active maximizing his perimeter gravity for downhill scoring opportunities, Brown has above average awareness on those drives, finding baseline cutters or bigs in the paint. Possessing good size for his position, Brown see's above the defense and makes the right play once help arrives. He will be an intriguing addition to a tall and wiry group with high defensive upside.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e7c0"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1429704"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of the bounciest athletes in the state, Brown is constantly on the prowl for highlight plays. Capable of leaping above defenders for high flying finishes, the guard was not wavered by rim protectors at this level. The senior is most active filling into space as a baseline slasher or trailer on the secondary break. His continued growth as a perimeter shooter will be interesting, opening up the lane that much following a closeout.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656e5f5d1e812"} /-->
