As a guard, he excels as a three-level scorer, proficient in scoring from beyond the arc, mid-range, and around the basket. One of Kouressi's defining traits is his ability to deliver in clutch situations, consistently stepping up to hit crucial buckets when his team needs them the most. With his versatile scoring arsenal and clutch performances, Kouressi proves to be a valuable asset capable of making a significant impact on any game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2303132"],"_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":"Lau is a dynamic guard blessed with both size and speed, making him a formidable presence on the court. His skill set extends beyond scoring, as he showcases an ability to facilitate plays and create opportunities for his teammates. As the spring circuit approaches, Lau is poised to make waves and capture attention with his electrifying performances. With his combination of athleticism, scoring ability, and playmaking skills, Lau is undoubtedly a prospect worth keeping a close eye on during the upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1013046"],"_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":"Fields has been instrumental in Hayes' this season, consistently stepping up with crucial plays when needed most. As a quick and agile guard, he possesses the ability to penetrate defenses and drive to the basket with ease.

He is set to turn heads on a national scale this spring.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2207303"],"_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":"Cruz, a rising guard, witnessed a significant surge in his stock during the last fall and summer seasons, particularly at Pangos events. Known for his remarkable speed and shifty moves on the court, he poses a challenge for defenders to contain. Cruz's skill set encompasses a blend of agility and finesse, allowing him to maneuver through defenses with ease. With his burgeoning talent and demonstrated skills, Cruz is poised to continue making waves in the basketball scene.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fc734085043"} /-->
