<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have reached the midway point in the 2023-2024 High School Basketball Season. Over the next couple of days, Prep Hoops Florida scouts are taking a deep dive into who has provided the biggest stock. We will be starting with this year's senior class and concluding with the freshman early next week. Coaches, if you have a player who deserves to be recognized please send me an email (rossvdg14@gmail.com) or a direct message on X @RossVDG14.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1295936"],"_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":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 14.2 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 8.8 APG u0026amp; 2.1 SPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 5-10 senior combo guard is an absolute magician with the basketball in his hands where he displays a great amount of court vision on the offensive end. Folds is a crafty passer who can find open teammates on a dime as well as in transition. His defensive presence has also improved where he can guard on-the-ball as well as off-the-ball at a high level. Folds has strong instincts and has elite athleticism where he can get out on the break with his ability to jump the passing lanes.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1859289"],"_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":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: N/Au003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-8 senior forward has a great combination skillset whether it's length or athleticism. Williams has the handles of a guard where he can spot open teammates whether it's off dribble drives or on a dime. Williams has also improved his offensive game where he is now shooting with confidence from behind the arc. On the defensive end, Williams is an absolute disruptor where he can get to his spots and is very active in the passing lanes. Williams has a strong chance where he could be playing at the next level after his high school career concludes.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":2318526,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Malcolm Warthen","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Hilliard","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 15.4 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 4.4 APG u0026amp; 3.4 SPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-0 senior point guard has crafty ball-handling skills where he plays with speed and purpose. Smith is also unafraid when it comes to finishing around the rim while absorbing contact. On the defensive end, Smith has a strong nose when it comes to guarding on-the-ball where he applies pressure and gets his hand for steals and deflections.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":2318532,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Caleb Pennyfeather","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Oviedo","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076371' first='Showtime' last='Ballers']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 8.4 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 1.1 APG u0026amp; 3.3 BPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-8 senior forward has elite length where he rebounds efficiently on both ends of the floor. Pennyfeather does most of his work on put-backs or lobs thrown toward him on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Pennyfeather plays with a ton of versatility when he guards multiple positions and has a strong nose for the passing lanes. He also adds solid rim protection where he is unafraid when it comes to challenging shots whether it's around the rim or out on the perimeter. Keep an eye on Pennyfeather for the rest of this season as he is emerging right before our eyes.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1457202"],"_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":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 9.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 1.0 APG u0026amp; 6.9 BPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-9 senior power forward is quick for his size whether it's blocking shots around the rim or pushing the basketball up the floor in transition. Lewis has a soft touch when it comes to scoring around the rim on the offensive end and has improved his mid-range game as well. Lewis is very active when it comes to protecting the glass as well where he is finishing off put-backs. Lewis also has a great deal of potential to play at the next level as he continues to get stronger and more consistency when it comes to shooting from the outside.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659ebde3e95f8"} /-->
