Playing with a very talented Eagle Academy team, Dorreliand has the luxury of being able to pick his spots and attack the defense when it's already moving or out of position. He has shown flashes of being a threat from beyond the arc throughout the season. With Eagle's season resuming next week, it will be interesting to see how he closes out the post season and can build some buzz heading into AAU 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":"Haisi Mayben ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_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":"Green Tech","_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":"The son of former 5 star recruit u003ca href=u0022http://www.zachsmart.com/2024/01/green-techs-mayben-thrives-with-guidance-from-legendary-father.htmlu0022u003eTiki Maybenu003c/au003e, Haisi has been a highly regarded name in the Albany area for over a year now.
