Buroz is exceptionally tough when it comes to scoring through contact on the offensive end. Defensively, he has strong mechanics whether it's guarding on or off the ball as he has a strong nose for jumping into the passing lanes. He has an improved handle of the basketball and his IQ has gradually improved since the beginning of the season. Keep an eye on this kid as he will be fun to watch for the next two and a half years.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1658584"],"_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: 20.1 PPG, 11.3 RPG u0026amp; 8.7 BPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-10 sophomore power forward is taking high strides so far this season, as he is averaging nearly a triple-double. Bryant plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor whether it's finishing on the attack or his ability to rebound at both ends. He has also improved his jump shot where he is knocking down mid-range shots from 15-18 feet away from the basket. Bryant is also being heavily recruited by several D-1 schools since the start of his freshman season as his ceiling of potential gets higher.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1660032"],"_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: 19.8 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 4.3 SPG u0026amp; 1.8 BPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-9 sophomore wing has a smooth touch to his game whether it's his shooting on the offensive end, or his ability to keep possessions alive on the glass. Constanza has the handles of a guard where he can dictate the offense as his IQ continues to rise. On the defensive end, Constanza is unafraid when it comes to guarding bigger players as his footwork is also impeccable and is a high-level matchup every time he steps onto the floor. Constanza holds offers from Arizona State, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Ole Miss and several others.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2214185"],"_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: 11.3 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 4.2 APG u0026amp; 1.9 SPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-4 sophomore combo forward has a strong understanding and a great feel for the game. Declou has a strong frame where he can finish at both ends of the rim as well as his ability to create space off the bounce. He is also a solid passer where he finds open teammates whether it's off dribble drives or finding open cutters toward the basket. Defensively, Declou is a high-level rebounder who has a strong instinct of pushing the pace in transition. His outside shot needs to gain a little more consistency which will come as his high school career progresses. Keep an eye on this kid as he could be a matchup nightmare for opposing guards in the next couple seasons.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1660045"],"_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: 16.7 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 3.4 APG u0026amp; 2.4 SPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-4 sophomore combo guard is one of the top emerging prospects in the Central Florida area. Offensively, Williams can score on all three levels whether it's off the bounce or catch. He is a dynamic athlete who gives in all of his effort on the glass using his length to secure rebounds. Defensively, Williams is a matchup nightmare for the opposition as he can guard positions 1 through 4 on the floor with his outstanding footwork and athleticism to cover ground. He is only going to get better as his skillset speaks volumes on how much potential he truly has to play at the next level.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a7f98f5e125"} /-->
