<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the top 2025 prospects I saw over the weekend in Chicago at the Prep Hoops Chi-Town Tip Off!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[2399871],"_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":"Justin had a strong showing on Sunday morning helping lead his [program_tooltip program_id='2127820' first='Racine' last='Truth'] team past [program_tooltip program_id='2078378' first='Illinois' last='TWolves']. He was tough to stop in transition, mixing in some strong finishes at the rim with a couple of dimes to his teammates running alongside him. Jones has a strong frame with good positional size at 6'3, and with that he was able to convert on some tough finishes through contact. Also stretched the floor with a couple of jumpers. Will be apart of a very talented Racine Lutheran backcourt as a senior.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2405868"],"_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":"Tyler had arguably the most productive game I saw all weekend, going off for 35 points on Saturday afternoon. He may have been the smallest player on the floor, but Tyler was absolutely fearless going at the rim. Did a nice job of playing off two feet allowing him to go up balanced and draw contact to earn trips to the free throw line. Started off the game hot including three 3's and a mid-range jumper. He's not just a scorer though, as he dished out five assists, showcasing his ability to get into the paint and dump it off to his bigs around the rim.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1289073"],"_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":"Keegan is simply an effortless scorer. He has the ability to take over a game with his ability to put points on the board, and even in games where he doesn't take a bunch of shots, his efficiency still makes him very impactful. He may not have taken a large quantity of shots against Indiana Game, but his efficiency allowed him to have a huge impact in the win. Keegan has such a smooth stroke on his jumper, and was hitting from both three and mid-range on Saturday. Has excellent footwork to pick up his dribble off of two feet and from there create separation for a jumper. Listed at 6'4 but his long and lanky frame almost makes him seem even taller.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1766437"],"_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":"Al makes an impact on both ends of the floor every time I see him play. He's such a difference maker on the defensive end, using his long wingspan to get up in passing lanes or pick his man's pocket when defending on the ball. Has great instincts to know when to poke the ball free for a steal. Offensively he shows impressive flashes of shot creating ability, able to create separation for a jumper or blow by his man to get to the rim. Jumper wasn't falling on Friday night but he had some impressive finishes through contact. Really good at extending away from his body to finish off the glass even when taking a bump in the air.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2039671"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2039671' first='Carter' last='Koch'] was making big plays for [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro']-Hailey on Saturday. He's an explosive two footed leaper, and used that bounce to finish above the rim when he had a clear lane to the basket. Combines his 6'5 frame with some strength making him tough to contain around the basket. Does a nice job of playing off of two feet so he can go up balanced and finish with efficiency around the rim. Defensively he walls up to protect the basket, can defend on the wing or in the paint, and is a strong rebounder with his physical tools.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2218166"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2218166' first='Liam' last='Dunn'] was making big plays down the stretch helping lead his All In Athletics team past [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro']-Hailey. His five straight points at one point were key for AIA as it allowed them to tie up the game, before going on to win. That run saw him knock down a three point shot before going coast-to-coast for a tough finish in transition. Smooth shooter from beyond the arc. Helped his team go 3-1 on the weekend.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["2404504"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2404504' first='Max' last='Breitenbach'] is a tough-as-nails guard who helped lead his [program_tooltip program_id='2440559' first='Lakeshore' last='Force'] team to a 3-1 record over the weekend. Against [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro']-Hailey he was relentless attacking the basket, and had no fear of taking a bump on his way to the rim. Went right into the [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro'] size and was keeping his chin at the rim to help him finish through contact. From there he was able to extend his game beyond the arc. Was a 16.8 ppg scorer for Kohler during the winter.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661ff6c6874e2"} /-->
