Harrison is a walking double double. He is strong and explosive and when you couple that with his extraordinary touch around the rim you have a very high level player. He gobble every rebound within his reach and has had multiple 20 rebounds nights during this high school season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1280937"],"_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":"Thompson stand 6'9u0022 but is an very fluid athlete out on the court. He is physical enough to use brute strength to finish through you but also bring great touch around the rim. He gobbles up rebounds and he also deters offensive players with his ability to block and alter shots.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2243110"],"_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":"Donaldson is a high energy player that has exciting potential at both end of the floor.  He runs the floor well. He can step out to the three-point line and knock down shots. He has good touch around the rim. Defensively, he is a great shot blocker and rebounder.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1834534"],"_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":"Nwokemodo has the look of the prototypical rim running, pick and roll big. He is a great screen setter and rolls hard and finishes with authority. He works to get himself available for dump off passes when guards penetrate. He rebounds and blocks shots well.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1411210"],"_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":"Graves is continuing his upward trajectory.  He already has good defensive timing which he uses to block and alter shots.  He is an above the rim finisher with good athleticism. What I like most is he has shown good footwork in the post with the ability to use drop steps and step-throughs.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c29362d222b"} /-->
