While he'll need to add strength and weight to reach his ceiling in the ACC, he already profiles as a mobile big man who isn't afraid of contact. He does a great job of utilizing his length on both ends of the court, particularly in the post as a rim protector on defense. He's a threat in transition as a rim runner and looks to have improved his face up game this winter.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1131156"],"_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":"Crawford, who will head to u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eStanfordu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e in the fall, didn't take long to assert himself as one of New England's top guards upon arriving at u003cemu003eBrewster Academyu003c/emu003e. He has good size at the lead guard spot and has proven to be a tough shot maker this winter. But, he shines with the ball in his hands as a floor general that is able to set up his teammates for easy scoring opportunities. He has a quick first step and does a great job changing speed and direction to get to his spots off the bounce.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2312339"],"_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":"Shine, who has signed with u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eMurray Stateu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e, is another talented lead guard that is finishing up his prep career at u003cemu003eBrewster Academyu003c/emu003e. He's a shift ball-handler and crafty rim finisher who does a good job of creating space with his bounce. He's proven to be a consistent threat from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations this winter as well. Defensively, he can really guard the basketball and does a great job of moving laterally to keep opposing guards out of the paint.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1230778"],"_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":"If Kirouac is the regions longest new prospect, then Jacobsen is the biggest.

A serious threat at the rim as a roller out of screen and roll situations, Jacobsen has proven to be a big-time lob threat in half-court settings. He's more agile than he might get credit for, which allows him to be a solid rim protector both on the ball and in help settings.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2312349"],"_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":"DeCady, who will head to u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eHofstrau003c/strongu003e u003c/emu003enext year, was one of the breakout players of the spring and summer. He's a physical post presence with a college ready body that does a great job of finishing around the rim. He plays with a high motor and cleans up the glass on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he's a switchable defender who should be able to guard multiple positions, both on the perimeter and in the post, at the next level.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ad810524766"} /-->
