His team only had five players available so Peyton was forced to play the entire game. He never looked fatigued and was a go-to scoring option from start to finish. He was a knock down shooter from beyond the arc and impressed me when getting to his spot in the mid-range. Powers was also able to use his strength and body control to finish through contact around the basket. He could attack the basket in isolation situations or run the floor for transition finishes. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623c79953b14"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1258489"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eKardeair was the most physically imposing player I saw on Friday night, as he used his built 6-foot-8 frame to dominate the game inside. He could not be stopped from grabbing rebounds, especially on the offensive side of the ball, sometimes getting multiple on the same possession. This allowed him to cash in on easy second chance baskets right at the rim. I also saw the 2025 center throw down a strong two-handed dunk in transition. Ellis will be a big man to watch this weekend. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623c79953b7f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2364732"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eQuincy was easily the best player on the floor in his first game of the weekend. He has a strong 6'2” frame and used that to battle defenders down low for finishes around the basket. Mosley is also a threat from beyond the arc, pulling up confidently from three-point land. He showed the ability to put the ball on the floor as well, being able to create for himself using the dribble. He would sometimes bring the ball up the floor and conduct the offense. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623c79953bd3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2392470"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eAvion was fun to watch on Friday night and I really admire the energy he brings to the game. He was flying around on the defensive side of the ball, using his length and quickness to get in passing lanes. He looked good when running in transition, which he and his Bradley Elite team did a lot of. He also connected with a triple off the catch, looking like a serious threat from inside and outside with his clean mechanics. White was a difference maker rebounding the ball as well. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623c79953c24"} /--> <!-- 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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Sam Olsen","_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":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_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":"Chapman North","_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eI was a big fan of Sam's game and I think he brings a lot to the table as a prospect. He has really good size for his age, which is dangerous when you combine that with the skill he already has. He looked very comfortable playing out on the perimeter, especially with the ball in his hands. He could bring the ball up the floor for his team and create in the half court using his deep bag of moves. Olsen also knocked down a catch-and-shoot three in the action I watched, showing off his lightning quick release. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623c79953cbe"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381570"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eVincent scored a team-high 14 points in a competitive win for [program_tooltip program_id='2076025' first='Wisconsin' last='Blaze'] on Friday night, using his strength to own the paint. He was great on finishing around the rim, being able to fight through multiple defenders at a time. He can use either hand when around the rim, which makes him unpredictable when going up. He was also effective on the boards, grabbing contested rebounds on both sides of the ball. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623c79953d10"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1673681"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eI really enjoyed watching Cohen run the point for his team. I was only able to catch half of his game on Friday night, but he definitely stood out. He is very smooth when handling the ball, being able to create for himself and for teammates. He looked comfortable shooting from beyond the arc and getting to the basket was no issue, where he has a variety of finishes he can go to. Priebe played super hard when he was out on the floor as well.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623c79953d5c"} /-->
