Every night out he is a scoring threat at all 3 levels. He plays best in space to create his own shots. A trio of length, vertical jump, and soft shooting touch brings his game together. He can cover the court quickly on a fast break and flush it down in transition. The 6'5 sophomore is filling up the box scores game after game, showing his wide range of abilities and his potential. Pay close attention to Anthony as his Mills University High School team heads into conference play.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2021433"],"_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":"CJ is a real D1 prospect in the class of 2024. High upside and potential to pair with the skillset that is already developed. The 6'8 forward can slash inside for athletic finishes and play up above the rim. He follows that up with a great touch from the soft spot and the wingspan to rise over shot contests. He can hit shots from the post as well, often fading off balance and sinking the 2 with efficiency. He's been able to display everything he brings to the floor for the Little Rock Central Tigers as they've made their way through a few of the nation's biggest high school tournaments. Washington was named player of the game in Game 1 of the TampaHoopfest and received player of the game honors in the King of Bluegrass tournament game against Bowling Green. Stay tuned in to CJ in his senior season as he looks to propel his team over the top.","_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":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2375081' first='Roderick' last='Williams']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Magnolia High School","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2075264' first='All' last='Arkansas Red'] - UA RISE","_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":"Roderick or u0022Jr.u0022 as he likes to be called, is a pure double-double machine. He imposes his size and throws his weight around to secure rebounds easily. The Panther big man is a force inside that gives opposing teams extremely tough challenges. You can catch him swatting shot attempts away nightly. Williams excels at anticipating where the ball is moving to grab steals and start the fast break, too. Defense is his core but do not miss the fact that he can shoot the ball from beyond the arc and his ability to bang down low for buckets. He is not a player you can leave open nor a player you can ignore in the post. I expect to see the double-double threat post quite a few more during his junior season.","_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":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2373604' first='Jaylan' last='Clifton']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Searcy High School","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"Searcy High School has quite the player on their hands with Clifton he has a u0022hand down, man downu0022 mindset. Jaylan can light it up from 20+ feet out. If you need a deep three you should look his way. He has 4 or more threes in 4 games already this season. He doesn't mind putting the ball on the floor and finding his way in the paint to score. The sharpshooter also has active hands on defense to pick off passes and push the pace. The sophomore is a key piece for the Lions. Check out more of him this season as he looks to follow up a 29 point performance from last game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2792019' first='Gavin' last='Hobson']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Sheridan High School","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"Team Irish","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Hobson plays smart and calculated, making swift decisions for his squad. He's no stranger to the free throw line, as he's adept at creating contact to get the whistle. Hobson plays to his strengths like good floor spacing and effort off-ball to free himself up for shots around the perimeter. Gavin can be a spark for his team because he gets active across the stat sheet, doing whatever is asked of him to secure a victory. Sheridan competes in the 5A where they will have a tough opponent just about every game, plan on him to stick to his game in those tough exciting match-ups.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6599dc0d9518e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":"","_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659dc8a042f40"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":"","_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659dc8a042f79"} /-->
