Lloyd is a natural three-level scorer who can stop on a dime shooting off the bounce as well as off the catch. Lloyd is a skilled guard who isn't afraid when it comes to scoring at the front of the rim through traffic where he can draw contact. On the defensive side, he shows a ton of versatility where he can be an aggressive on the ball defender.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1240336"],"_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 6-7 junior guard is crafty and can score in a variety of ways whether it's at the rim or from beyond the arc. He has played with a ton of confidence and consistency this season on the offensive end. Allen plays with a ton of length where he rebounds exceptionally well for his size on both ends of the floor. On the defensive end of the floor, Allen can guard positions 1 through 4 as his footwork has continued to improve where he is able to keep up with the opposing guards.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1301736"],"_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":1941923,"_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":"The 6-7 junior guard plays with an impressive combination of size and athleticism. He also plays with a ton of length when it comes to dunking through traffic and isn't afraid when it comes to scoring through contact. Wimbley is a matchup problem on the defensive end where he makes things difficult for opposing guards to set off a good shot. Wimbley holds offers from James Madison, Jacksonville, Mercer and several others.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1879504"],"_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":"Liburd has a heavy skillset on both ends of the floor as he plays with a ton of physicality and frustrate the opposition with his quickness. He finishes effectively on both sides of the rim at a high level as well as a high-percentage rebounder. He should have college coaches on his radar heading into his junior season where he displays a great IQ and feel for the game. Liburd has impressive length and has improved his mid-range jump shot from last season to this season. Expect numerous mid-major schools to be on the pursuit for Liburd as we are nearing the Grassroots season.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1450225"],"_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":2196575,"_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":"The 6-2 junior shooting guard has continued to be one of the sharpest perimeter shooters in the state for his class. He has brought dead-eye accuracy when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc where he knocks down 3-pointers at a near 40 percent rate. He is also very aggressive when it comes to guarding off the ball on the defensive end where he limits the opposition into taking tough shots as he is quick to jump the passing lanes. Darner holds offers from Dartmouth, Jacksonville, Le Moyne, North Florida and Youngstown State. Expect a big leap to take place in his recruitment before the season ends.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65958bacc1740"} /-->
