He did a good job of keeping the Legacy Offense in rhythm, while still being able to get buckets for himself. Hansen had 17 points in the second half, scoring the ball with efficiency from both deep and close range. Another thing that stood out was his adjustments within the game. Much like how his scoring increased as the weekend went on, his general feel for the game did as well. He also had a couple of good plays using his hands on the defensive end, totaling 3 steals across 2 games.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1131156"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":2366258,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Elijah Crawford returned to his former home at Legacy Early College this week at the Pete Hollis Showcase. Crawford is a true playmaking guard with great vision and a strong handle. Elijah made a couple of eye-opening plays with his crossover in the open court and also hit some very tough shots down the stretch vs Wasatch Academy. He scored 14 points in the second half including going perfect from the line to seal the game in the fourth. To go with his 23 points, Elijah tallied 6 assists and 2 steals, making play after play on both ends of the floor on Friday Afternoon.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1385291"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":2367443,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Fears is your prototypical scoring guard that can fill it up in a hurry. He can score from all three levels and has a great handle with quickness to his spots. In AZ Compass Prep's win over Canyon International Academy on Saturday, Jeremiah scored 14 points in the third quarter alone knocking down all 4 of his attempts from behind the arc. He also has a knack for fitting through tight spaces and finishing around bigger bodies, which he showcased in the fourth quarter and against Legacy Early College on Friday Night. Jeremiah can even make some plays on the defensive end, frequently jumping passing lanes or picking the pocket of his defensive assignment.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1110114"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":2367445,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Without Isiah Harwell for the weekend, the ball-handling responsibilities fell truly on Mobley Jr. in South Carolina. He entered the event as the second-leading scorer in EYBL Scholastic play, but with a 23-point and 34-point outing, he increased his average to 21.8 and took sole control of the scoring crown. In the 23-point performance - an eight-point loss to Brewster Academy on Friday - Mobley Jr played all 32 minutes putting up 5 assists and 0 turnovers. While in the 34-point performance - a win over Legacy Early College - he burst out the gates on fire and hit a three on each of the teams' first four possessions. John might not be as quick or as flashy as some of the other guards in the league, but his ability to put the ball in the basket will translate seamlessly to the next level in Columbus.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1411404"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":2366260,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The 2024 Pete Hollis Showcase was stacked with some of the best High School Basketball players in the country and Darius Adams stood out as one of the best shooters in the gym. In both of La Lumiere's games in Greenville this weekend, the crowd held their breath in expectation when one of Darius' shots went up. For the event, he averaged 26 points shooting exactly 64% (18-28 u0026amp; 9-14) from the field and three. Adams is not just a shooter though. He moves around the court with fluidity, using spin moves and tween-dribbles to create space to put the ball in the bucket.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1432014"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":2368006,"_player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Contrary to his backcourt-mate, Jerry is a strong scorer without the asset of the three-ball. He scored 28 Points without hitting a single shot from behind the arc against IMG on Saturday Night. Easter II gets downhill with ease, beating his defender with a combination of speed and strength. However, he loves to pull up, and he's pretty good at it. Even in transition, Jerry takes advantage of putting defenders on their backfoot and gets some extra room by pulling up from around the free throw line. He also has a good frame and helps out on the defensive glass for La Lumiere.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e34ca2c90a1"} /-->
