Brown was an elite player in his home state but now he has really made a name for himself across the country as one of the most feared shooters in the country. He is smooth when he just catches and shoots but he is one of the smoothes catch and re-locate out there. he could be a big time LM find.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d91de3500be"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278435"],"_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":"When it comes to players at the top of the ranking you might think they can't move up much more and that could be true but it does not mean that theyr game is not getting better. Junior is not only a servicable lead guard he can actually run the position at a high level. in a basketball world where a player has to know how to do a little bit of everything County is really coming into his own with his development. His shooting has improved and so has his finishing as well. This kid is one of the best 2026 players in the country and he proves it traveling across the country. Look for him to continue to ride on the Grind Session and at the club level as it is here in a few months.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d91de350110"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1601997"],"_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":"Ekwe has been asserting himself as one of the premier shot blockers in the country. Ekwe is among the Top 5 in the country in the best league in the country when it comes to block shots. He is a 6'10 lanky big that can really rise above the rim. He has put on maybe 10 lbs of muscle since last club season so this club season you can expect him to be playing high on the defensive side of things and playing above the rim throwing everything down on the offensive side of things as well. He is MM talent for sure.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d91de35015b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146670"],"_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":"Best shooter in the state as John continues to rise. His defense is elite and he is a big time shot maker. He draws a lot of attention because of his shooting but the most impressive aspect of his game is that he can get his shots off against anyone. He is often guarded by players much bigger than him and it really doesn't matter, he is going to light them up. He moves well without the ball and he knows how to use angles to get open. Has a few D1 offers but can truly play at a very high level D1 the way that he shoots.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d91de3501a4"} /-->
