Bertrand makes all the right decisions and is a high IQ caliber player. He can impact the game in a variety of ways whether it's his scoring around the rim or getting his teammates involved. He has a strong knack for his crisp passing ability and hits teammates on a dime at the front of the rim.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1293157"],"_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 6-6 junior combo guard shows a ton of nice flashes in his game whether it's his 3-point shooting or playmaking without the ball in his hands. Leslie can also get to the front of the rim where he is unafraid when it comes to finishing with contact. On the defensive end, Leslie can guard whether it's on or off the ball displaying great footwork where he improves his strength and athleticism. Look for mid-major programs to start recruiting Leslie as his stock continues to rise.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1301768"],"_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":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 16.2 PPG, 11.8 RPG u0026amp; 5.0 APGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnDespite missing the first half of the season with an injury, Sanders is back and looks better than ever. His toughness and physical presence on both ends of the floor have provided a huge spark for his team. On the offensive end, Sanders has an improved jump shot to expand his range where he can score off the bounce as well as off the catch. On the defensive end, Sanders is a strong rebounder who is unafraid when it comes to pushing the pace and creating for his teammates.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2306290"],"_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":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 13.8 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 2.0 APG u0026amp; 2.5 SPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-6 junior wing has displayed a smooth touch when it comes to scoring around the rim on the offensive end. He continues to show why he has a huge upside and is developing a perimeter game that can cause him to be a threat to score on all three levels. On the defensive side, Carter is a freak athlete who can jump out of the gym to get on the glass as well as control the game at his own pace. Carter has a smooth handle for his size where he lets his craftiness not affect him to force bad passes. Expect numerous schools to hit up the recruiting trail following this season as he nears his senior year.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1301712"],"_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: 13.5 PPG, 11.1 RPG u0026amp; 3.1 BPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-7 junior forward has a combination of skillset whether it's length, size, and athleticism. Ashley is a great shot blocker and makes a living around the rim where he is an above-average rebounder on both ends of the floor. He has also gained more confidence and consistency when it comes to shooting from the outside. On the defensive end, Ashley has improved his footwork where he can guard out on the perimeter as well as in the paint where he forces the opposition into taking tough shots. His future looks extremely bright for the rest of this season as well as heading into his senior year.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a020fe4658c"} /-->
