A big guard with impressive physical traits, Edmond is hard to guard in transition where he does a great job of putting pressure on the rim with and without the ball in his hands. He's a physical downhill driver that can finish with either hand at the rim, is a solid off ball cutter, and is one of the best lob threats in his class. Defensively, he's able to guard multiple positions, does a great job on the defensive glass, and is great at initiating offense as a pusher in transition when he grabs a rebound.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2325884"],"_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":"Okehi, one of Connecticut's top lead guards, recently wrapped up an All-NEPSAC season at u003cemu003eTaftu003c/emu003e. An impressive creator with the ball in his hands, Okehi has terrific floor vision and has shown the ability to make high level decisions out of ball screen actions. He's crafty with the bounce, does a good job of getting into soft spots of the defense, and has an array of finishing moves around the rim, including a high level floater that he uses to finish over bigger defenders in the paint. He's a capable shooter, particularly off the dribble. Defensively, he does a good job of guarding the ball in space and moves well laterally to keep opponents out of the paint.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1532419"],"_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":"Davis, a crafty scoring guard, had a terrific junior season at u003cemu003eBrooksu003c/emu003e. A lefty with some serious juice off the bounce, Davis is equally impressive playing as a creator or a scorer. He shows nice burst, particularly in tight spaces, and makes some high level passes in ball screens. His vision is probably an under-rated aspect of his game, but he's one of the better passers in this class. He can score at all three levels; right now he's best when creating space to get into his jumper on the perimeter. Defensively, he hounds opposing ball-handlers; he can guard for 94 feet, has terrific hands while guarding the ball, and seems to have endless energy on that end of the floor.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2396775"],"_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":"Simpson, a top performer for a u003cemu003eLa Salleu003c/emu003e squad that made it to the RIIL Open State Tournament championship, is a high IQ prospect with budding inside-out skills. One of the top post players in Rhode Island this season, Simpson has a nice combination of athleticism, basketball IQ, positional size, and skill. He has a variety of scoring moves in the paint and is a quality decision maker when he catches in the high post. He's a terrific post defender that rarely commits fouls, does a great job of controlling the defensive glass, and is vocal as the last line of defense for his team. His best basketball is clearly still ahead of him and he even had moments this season where he looked like he'd be comfortable playing more regularly on the wing.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2396796"],"_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":"Kim, an All-NEPSAC honoree in his first season at u003cemu003eKents Hillu003c/emu003e, is a dynamic lead guard that has a terrific feel for how to run an offense. A blur in the open floor, Kim is a guard that can really push the tempo when he has the ball in his hands. He's a capable shooter from behind the arc, particularly when he's off the ball in catch-and-shoot situations. With the ball in his hands he does a good job as a creator; he's shifty, has a quick first step, and does a good job of keeping his dribble alive. As he continues to get comfortable play in ball screens, his ability to creator for others should continue to improve. Defensively, he does a terrific job of guarding at the point of attack and keeping opposing guards out of the paint.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6611ea39908d5"} /-->
