At 6'9 with elite athleticism and high motor we're seeing dominate performances on both ends of the floor. He's a next level weak side defender with great timing as a shot blocker and guards every position on the floor. Offensively he's a slasher who's grown as a spot up shooter and pull up shooter. He has great vision for the position, is a phenomenal finisher above the rim, and has the intangibles to excel at the highest levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089573"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a4fa2b7d7eb"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1089573' first='Derik' last='Queen'] is the best post scorer in high school basketball. The 6'10 forward is a bull on the block with some of the best footwork in basketball. He's a monster rebounder who's improved as an athlete over the last year. He's an awesome leveled headed competitor who consistently produces as a double double threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055578"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a4fa2b7d862"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1055578' first='Asa' last='Newell'] is a modern-day stretch four. He excels as a finisher with the length and vertical athleticism to finish above the rim in traffic. He's green as an offensive rebounder and produces at a high level as a putback artist. Newell can space the floor out to the college three point line and has flashed the ability to create his shot during the summer. He's a rangy rim protector who can high point the ball against some of the best athletes in the high school game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055724"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a4fa2b7d8d8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1055724' first='Ryan' last='Jones'] has been sidelined most of the season with an injury, but his shooting and size are undeniable. The Virginia Tech signee anchors the paint as a rebounder and stretches the floor as a three point shooter. He's a physically mature forward who was tightening his mid-post game before the injury. Armed with a soft touch and the stretch to carve out space, Jones held on to this spot and national attention thanks to the strong body of work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2201109"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a4fa2b7d94b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2201109' first='Diamant' last='Blazi'] is listed as a forward in our database but has a game meant for the perimeter. The 6'8 forward is an above the rim athlete, flashes shot creation skills, and plays with a high motor. His size and athleticism show him to rise above defenders for pull up jumpers. He's a willing passer with the vision and offensive gravity to get teammates involved.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
