He didn't seem to get rattled when opposing guards were applying pressure on him as he showcased his strong passing instincts to open shooters. Barrett continues to have strong upside as his recruitment is just getting started after he picked up an offer from the University of Washington earlier this season.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1306080"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eA 6-5 senior guard who remains one of the top unsigned prospects in the nation has brought a good combination skillset of size, speed and athleticism. He rebounded well from the guard position who can also defend out on the perimeter. He also made electrifying plays around the rim whether it was off of put-backs or keeping possessions alive using his length. On the defensive end, Edgecombe used his versatility to guard multiple positions using his length out on the perimeter as well as at the rim.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1956507"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eThe 6-4 sophomore guard continues to shine as he is one of the top perimeter shooters in the Southern California area. Barnett finished with 15 points, on 6-of-11 shooting from the field including knocking down three 3-pointers in the win over Windermere Prep. Barnett has displayed a ton of confidence in his game where his upside continues to grow. He has a strong understanding for the game as he currently holds an offer from the University of Washington. Barnett has good intangibles to be a real deal college prospect as his IQ continues to develop and his game progesses.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2194837"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eThe 6-7 freshman power forward has an advanced knowledge of the game utilizing his body in the interior as he had a strong first half in the win over Victory Christian Academy. Jenkins scored 16 of his 20 points in the first half, using his length and size on the blocks as he does a great job scoring at the rim through contact. Jenkins also showed he can be a good decision maker when he has the basketball in his hands and should see his stock continue to rise as his high school career progresses.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1660032"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eThe 6-8 sophomore guard has smooth handles for his size where he can attack off the bounce, as well as knock down tough and contested shots from beyond the arc. He also played lock-down defense against multiple positions throughout the game showing his activity in the passing lanes. His ability to move around the rim has also continued to take huge strides where he can challenge shots without fouling. Expect a huge gap in Constanza's game as he continues to get better every time he steps out onto the floor.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1122508"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eThe 6-8 senior guard has strong tools whether it's scoring off the bounce or off the catch. Bailey can score on all three levels without hesitation and has strong aspirations to be a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He adds super length to his skills and is a capable on-the-ball defender. Expect his name to be mentioned numerous times as the week rolls on at the City of Palms.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6582721f75996"} /-->
