Rakin is dynamic and knows how to put the ball in the bucket from all 3 levels, especially the mid range level. He is smooth in finding his spots and has put so many reps in off the court, it all comes natural. He is going to have an even better junior season next year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1587955"],"_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":"Parker has always had very good footwork, being able to back down defenders in the paint or weave through the defense with his dribbling ability. He has done an excellent job speeding up his game, making him more of an elite scoring threat from all 3 levels. He is just getting started on the court.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2375378"],"_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":"Ira stepped up and was the main facilitator and ball handling guard for Archbishop Murphy. He has great speed and can get downhill well with a quick crossover move. He reads what the defense gives him well, running the pick and roll to an elite level helping his teammates get open.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2021608"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Dez is a big time player and a great offensive threat for Evergreen. He has a lethal deep shot, being able to smoothly knock down deep shots off the dribble or off the catch. Daniel continues to show growth on the court and continues to do a great job at improving his weaknesses.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1728357"],"_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":"Kona is a dynamic lefty guard who has an extremely high motor. He wants to win and puts his everything in every single game. He can attack effectively with either hand and finishes well through traffic with his left hand. He will be even better next season, which will be fun to witness.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6601f40bd61fb"} /-->
