He is absolutely tough on the basketball court. He's a dirty work guy but showed show savvy skills putting the ball on the floor and attacking the basketball with speed and athleticism going down hill. He was able to grab rebound after rebound and will finish through contact or over the top of defenders. He's also a solid defensive guy blocking shots and getting the passing lane and overall just added a nice physical element to his team.

He was tough in transition and seemed to finish everything around the rim even through contact. Super physical defender on the perimeter but what I liked most was his rebounding. For guards rebounding is a key trait that sometimes gets overlooked, he was grabbing everything that came near him and took off for easy transition action. Overall his energy made him the backbone for his squad and earned him a X-factor look in the 15u division.

He's super mobile, he'll be transitioning to the 3 spot soon but no shame in getting busy near the post area if that's what matchups allow for. Defensively he's a lockdown defender and can guard you off the dribble or use his long wingspan to block everything that goes up. He also was able to finish most of his putbacks and give some life to his squad in slumps. Overall he is nice prospect to make sure you keeps taps on moving forward.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661ed666b4cb0"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2410314"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2414470,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"6'3 2027 Derricks Brooks was super efficient all weekend for LUE. His frame is prototype, super long and shifty with the ball on the perimeter. I loved that he didn't shy away from the midrange and floater area taking advantage of his size and smaller defenders on offense. Defensively he's just long and was able to frustrate ball handlers or cause easy takeaways on the perimeter. Overall he was super tough and should be on your radar heading into his sophomore campaign ","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661ed666b4d0f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2414473,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ti'ler Hamilton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Team Express","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"2027 Ti'ler Hamilton is a small guard listed around 5'9 but played MUCH bigger. He was super tough on the defensive end and made several crunch time plays for his squad. His first step to the basket is nearly impossible to guard and his finishes are super crafty even Kyrie Irving like to finish with and 1's. Overall make some solid decisions distributing the ball off the dribble to his teammates as well and looked to be someone that is a huge X factor for his squad. I'd have him on my radar this summer if your in the mix for 2027 guards for sure.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661ed666b4da8"} /-->
