He was effective working high, mid, and lost post. He hauled in rebounds, and used his body to bump and bang on the defensive side of the ball. He used his handles to drive hard from the top of the key into the paint for strong finishing layups.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1703108"],"_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":"After getting off to a slow start the rising Soph turned it up a notch. He's an excellent ball handler, and passer that does an excellent job of running things at the top. He'll get into the flow and becomes hard to guard in transition, and in space. He'll hit pull-up jumpers from mid-range out past the 3pt line. In half-court he'll weave his way in under control to get buckets in the paint.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2089525"],"_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":"Barton is a rising defender in the 2026 class. He has court awareness, good movements, he's a good help defender, and guards multiple positions. At 6'2 he has the strength to defends bigger players in the post, he boxes out well. He has the foot speed to defend out on the perimeter. Offensively he's starting to be more aggressive attacking the basket from the perimeter, he had a couple of strong takes to the basket. He'll rebound, and run.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1119263"],"_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":"Lacy averaged 11ppg and 6rebs this season. The experienced Senior forward has been a steady contributor around the paint since his Sophomore season, and has steadily improved and brought balance to his  play. He's one of NorCal's better rebounders, using his quick jump and long arms to go get rebounds. He has good hands to receive and finish at the rim coming from the baseline, across the lane, and cuts from the high post. He'll make you work for points in the paint.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2367541"],"_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":"It was our first look at Rohm, the steady ball handling point guard with change of direction. He shows patience running the offense in the half-court, he makes good decisions. He uses screens for the pick and roll action, he keeps his dribble live to effectively reset or attack the paint for points high off the glass lay-ups, dump-offs and kick-outs. He used his quick hands to get a steal late to secure the victory.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2367542"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"He gives good effort on the defensive side of the ball, staying close to ball handlers, moving his feet making it tough for scorers to get into the paint, and a hand up on jump shots. He had good drives using that first step to his advantage, going one way, then switching the ball in mid air to finish with the opposite had at the rim throwing off defenders. He can drop a 3ptr, at 6'1 he'll help rebound.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ea7d8fe4b7c"} /-->
