His best outing came in their final game of the session as he dropped 13 points on 6-of-10 shooting against The Family (MI) in a 93-74 victory. He doesn't force the issue as the point guard and as he limits his turnovers, he'll be one to keep an eye on in the 2025 class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1226605"],"_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":"Henry was impressive in the [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3'] backcourt as an attacker and playmaker. He put together averages of 7.3 PPG, 3.0 APG and 2.0 RPG on 46.7 percent shooting from the floor. He's an attacking presence with a strong frame and versatility on the defensive end of the ball. As the game comes to him more, look for his stock to rise in the 2025 class given his versatility.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1990411"],"_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":"Denis was impressive in his debut with [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3'] 17's though they went 2-1 losing two games by single digits to close out Session I. He was their lead guard much as he was this past season for Davidson Day in leading them to a state title, producing 14.0 PPG and 3.7 APG on 62.5 percent shooting from the field and 42.9 percent from deep. He showed off his efficiency attacking the basket and showed he could get to the free throw line as well, going 9-for-10 across their games from the charity stripe. As they improve team chemistry, look for this group to be a problem down the road.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1225444"],"_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":"Another impressive prospect who made their debut with [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3'], Keith stepped up in a big way in their first two games before cooling down in the final game. He opened things up with 15 points and two assists on 6-for-7 shooting in their first contest then followed that up with an 18-point, 4-rebound performance against Meanstreets (IL). He cooled off in the final game though he still went 2-for-3 from the field with four points but he showed that when the lights come on and he's given opportunities, he can certainly play at a high level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1409597"],"_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":"Steinour is another sizeable name out of the 2025 class who made his debut with [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3']. He's quite the inside-out presence given his ability to protect the rim, rebound and shoot the ball on the perimeter. He shot 3-of-5 from 3-point land and 6-of-9 from the floor across three games, averaging 7.7 PPG and 3.0 RPG in Session I. As he adjusts to the speed of the EYBL game, look for his status to grow this summer on the grassroots stage.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1239543"],"_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":"Collins exceeded expectations in his EYBL debut with [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United']. He went off in their final game of Session I to the tune of 21 points and six rebounds on 8-of-14 shooting from the floor and 3-of-6 shooting from behind the arc to close things out against Team Durant. He finished the weekend averaging 11.3 PPG, 3.7 RPG and 2.0 APG when it was all said and done. He showed he could do more than just score the basketball in their second game as he dished out six assists and snagged five rebounds against The Family.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1225669"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"White remains a consistent staple in the [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] rotation as they went 2-1 in Session I. He put up 14.0 PPG, 3.3 RPG and 1.3 BPG on 76.9 percent shooting from the field. He's a menace around the rim and painted area as he was all season long for Myers Park High. He put up 20 points, five rebounds and four blocks in his best outing of the session against The Family. He knows how to be efficient when scoring the ball and attacking the rim. Look for his stock to continue to grow on a national scale.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1164550"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Wilkins remains an underrated paint presence in the [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] rotation alongside [player_tooltip player_id='1225669' first='Sadiq' last='White Jr']. He put up production of 9.3 PPG, 4.3 RPG and 1.7 APG on 65 percent shooting from the field. He's probably their best passer out of the post who can make plays for others as he dished out three assists in their final game. He's another name to keep an eye on with this squad as they look to challenge for a Peach Jam title.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6630f6c21561b"} /-->
