He is a guard that is a his best when he is driving to the basket. Once he gets there, he can finish with the either hand.  If you can stop him from getting two feet in the paint, he can hit the mid-range shot or the floater. Does a good job of changing speeds and keeping the defense guessing. He is a player that will continue to develop over the next few years.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1608343"],"_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":"Listed as a Watchlist prospect, Camden is a player that people need to know.  He is a crafty guard that can score at all three levels. He is a good ballhandler and uses that plus his ability to play at his pace to create for himself and his teammates. Camden is a knockdown shooter. If you leave him open, he will make it rain from behind the arc. He shows the ability to run the offense and make the right plays.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1634604"],"_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":"Jones is a physical guard that plays hard. He uses his strong frame to get into the paint where he can score the ball at the rim with either hand.  He is a consistent shooter with good mechanics. He has continued to develop the catch-and-shoot area of his game. Defensively, he has a nose for where the ball is which results in him picking up his fair share of steal and rebounds.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1926210"],"_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":"Elijah is a guard that is ranked at 130 in the Prep Hoops Rankings. He has the potential to be much higher in a few years. In an era that puts a premium on shooting, Elijah can shoot the ball. He has good mechanics on his jumper and confidence to shoot it with players closing out to him.  Defensively, he plays good positional defense and he has a nose for playing the passing lanes.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2077344"],"_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":"Mason is ranked 131. That being said he has potential to be ranked much higher in the future.  At his best he is a player that loves to get into the paint. Once he get to the paint, he is a crafty finisher around the rim that displays the ability to score around you or absorb contact. He also has the ability to shoot with range out to the three point line. As he continues to develop, he continue to move up the rankings.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c11cc524b1e"} /-->
