If you're open cross-court, he will find you and his laser-like pass will wind up square in your hands. He makes his teammates better and I love that about his game. He's incredibly accurate from three and does an amazing job maneuvering in the paint with either hand to give himself the best available shot, even against elite defenders. He'll pass up a good shot for himself for a great shot for his teammate and he can often be found leading the break down the floor. He doesn't slouch on defense either. He has lightning-fast hands and will swipe the ball from you in a second if you give him the slightest opportunity. His game is wonderfully well-rounded and you can tell he puts in the work behind the scenes.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":2384914,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2382173' first='Jayden' last=''] Bowie","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Cypress Creek","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Epic Academy 17U","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Bowie is a versatile, skilled lefty that constantly keeps his defenders on their toes. He's got a beautiful jump shot and the speed and agility to blow by you if you fall victim to his elite ballhandling. He can get incredibly hot from three and go on a streak that will leave his opponents hurting if they don't double him or stick to him like glue. He also has an uncanny ability to drive and kick to a teammate with the highest percentage shot available. His game reminds me A LOT of D'Angelo Russell. He's fantastic in the pick and roll and sets up his bigs with layups and dunks regularly. He's an offensive beast to look out for and he will fill up the scoreboard and consistently set his teammates up for success.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":2384935,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1273340' first='Aiden' last='Hines']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Walnut Grove","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Texas Dynamics","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Aiden is a talented lefty sharpshooter that will make you pay from three if you leave him open in the slightest. One of the things I love most about his game is his determination. He follows his shots, he doesn't hang his head, and he is absolutely locked in from the opening tip. He's versatile offensively with the ability to drain buckets beyond the arc, throw up pretty floaters in the lane, spin right by you for a wide open shot, or drive and kick to an open teammate ready to score. He's not afraid of contact and will only continue to get stronger and stronger. He can stretch the floor for your bigs and turnovers are incredibly rare with the way he takes care of the ball. He's not afraid to put his body on the line for his team and take a charge and he does everything he needs to in order to prove that he's an extremely valuable player.","_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":2384930,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2222521' first='Derrick' last='Baines Jr.']","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Cy-Falls","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2078788' first='Houston' last='Defenders'] 17U","_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":"Derrick's elite shooting ability reminds me of watching Dame. He can be a good 4-5 feet from the 3-point line and let it fly and everyone still knows it's going in. He doesn't shy away from contact in the paint in the slightest and he knows how to draw fouls effectively in order to gain more points for himself and his team. He's excellent when leading the fast break and has the vision to find the best shot available every time. He moves incredibly well without the ball and does nothing but create problems for opposing defenses. He's FAST and he has a soft touch that he'll use to throw up floaters on his defenders, leaving them in fits and frustrated. He's a player that can take your offense from pretty decent to GREAT.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":2384931,"_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Terrence Loenard","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Kingdom Collegiate Academy","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"2nd to None","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Terrence is an incredibly versatile point guard that can fly and finish at the bucket with either hand. He's one of the quickest guys I've seen recently and has the ability to leave his defenders in the dust before they know what happened. He possesses excellent court vision and IQ that make it extremely difficult to game plan against him. He maximizes his impressive speed by using it effectively on the defensive end as well. It's common to see him disrupt passing lanes for a steal and easy bucket on the other end several times a game. The way he moves his body with the ball and propels himself into the air reminds me of Ja in a big way. He was a HUGE reason his HS team won the state championship this year and I imagine he'll be on plenty more winning teams down the road.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fd0b8ba03c7"} /-->
