He has a versatile set of skills he can use for different areas on the court. He hit 3's along the perimeter, use his dribble to attack the paint from different angles. He's a target cutting to the basket, he can work from the low to mid, and high posts. He's a long wing defender, and rebounder.  2-3's, 16pts, 7rebs","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1382890"],"_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 unsigned Senior guard has the experience to lead this team. He can get a bucket working his way into the paint using his handles, speed, and strength. He finishes strong at the basket in transition. He's hard to defend when he makes up his mind to attack from the perimeter. He rebounds, brings it up slow to run the offense at times, or use a burst to go coast to coast. He makes good use of the Euro Step to avoid charges. He's a good defender and a willing passer. 21pts.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2089229"],"_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":"For now he seems best receiving the ball, slashing, and cutting his way in for points arounds the rim. He flies to the basket attacking the rim in transition and in half-court finishing with dunks on occasion. At 6'3 he gets his rebounds, he'll handle in open court attacking at times. He has the speed and size to defend multiple positions. 16pts","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1573001"],"_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":"He's grown a bit and has filled his frame. He's about 6'3 with square shoulders playing multiple positions for this team. He's a reliable player working from the outside to the mid and high post making himself a triple threat with good passing. He shoots the open jumper, drives it closer handling contact in the paint. He has a mid-range jumper and a dribble drive from the perimeter. He defends taller players. 10pts.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2137380"],"_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":"It was our first look at the Freshman Point Guard, he's starting and playing good minutes with his varsity team. He's a fast, and speedy point guard, confident in his guard skills. He did good running the offense up top, moving the ball around the perimeter and using his speed, and quick crossover dribbles to attack and create for himself and others. He has a paint jumper, he's fast in transition. We'll keep an eye on him.","_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":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Isaac Sisay","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_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":"Milpitas","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"Sisay a solid body contributor for his team. He works hard for rebounds on both ends of the court. At 6'3 he'll often defend one of the bigger players on the other team giving good effort. He has a decent jump shot with range. He hit a couple of long 2's, got a few transition buckets. He's kind of the glue guy on this team.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658b1b6c3d002"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
