Gibson was quite simply the best player in the gym over the course of the weekend. He's a slippery athlete that can attack with his jumper and by finding lanes to the rim. Gibson can handle with both hands and switch the ball between them with ease. He was a big game player at the Storm Classic, putting up 25 in the semifinals and 15 in the championship game. This is the kind of weekend that turns into offers.","_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":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Seth Mead","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Gladwin","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"REAL 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":"This is what grassroots basketball is all about. Mead put his name on the map with a performance at the Storm Classic. He had the look of a talented point guard and was comfortable as the primary ball handler. Mead was unfazed by ball pressure. He showed that he could get his offensively scoring 20 points in a win.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2053470"],"_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":"Weston had a very good weekend in Grand Rapids.
