In his debut game with the National squad, Best poured in 27 points to lift the Holy Rams to victory. He showed his overall poise in knocking down shots in a number of clutch moments, especially a late 3-pointer from deep with roughly a minute left in the game. He's an impressive combo guard who's due to grow this season as he moves into a new role with the National team.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2238210"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":2295635,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='2238210' first='King' last='Gibson'] was as good as advertised in his first viewing for The Burlington School. He provided a tremendous spark off the bench in producing 15 points, six assists, six steals, five rebounds and a resounding block in their victory over Wilson Prep. He showed his motor on both ends of the floor from being a pest defensively to an attacker in space on the offensive end. It will be interesting to see him grow in the TBS rotation over the next few seasons.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1373705"],"_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":2295639,"_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='1373705' first='Cam' last='Flippen'] has begun to emerge in his junior season with The Burlington School. He led the way for them with 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field while shooting a perfect 3-of-3 from behind the arc to lift the offense. It seemed around every turn the game took, Flippen had a hand in turning the tide in his team's favor. He did well to attack the paint but also showed he could operate without the ball and knock down shots on the perimeter. He's due to climb up the PH radar with continued consistency. So far, he's producing 8.2 PPG, 2.6 RPG and 2.4 APG on 48 percent shooting from the floor and from the perimeter in 2023-24.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1098355"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":2295633,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1098355' first='Zion' last='Walker'] was a menace in creating things off the bounce in isolation for The Burlington School. While he was just 3-for-9 from the field, he managed to go 7-of-7 from the free-throw line in producing 14 points and an assist for his squad. He sported a sleaker frame which allowed him to navigate into the painted area and draw contact on his attempts to the bucket. He remains a top name to know in North Carolina's 2024 class at the guard spot.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1774403"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":2295644,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1774403' first='JD' last='Daniels'] was a stat-sheet stuffer in Farmville Central's 82-57 victory over Northern Nash High. He showed who could do more than just score the basketball in finishing with 14 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks for the 2A State Title favorites. He knows how to create havoc defensively while remaining efficient offensively. He shot 6-of-8 from the field in the victory.

He's been a solid addition to the Jaguars' rotation so far as he's producing14.0 PPG through their first four victories on 56 percent from the field and 41 percent shooting from deep.
