The InspireU 2025 star had me hooked on his game after I saw him at the Prep Hoops Top 250 last fall. While he's a top notch post player that gets boards, he's not your old fashioned big. Braun can step outside the arc and stretch the defense with his catch and shoot jumper and can be a factor in the open floor.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1438857"],"_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":"Njenga will be at the Chi-Town Tip Off with Indiana Game 2025 UA Rise. He's a prime candidate to make a lot of noise this grassroots season. Njenga is a versatile forward that is a menace in the open floor. He can attack the rim off the bounce and finish with 1 or 2 hands. Njenga is a bouncy athlete that has impressive positional size and ball skills.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1890553"],"_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":"Griffin will be taking the floor this weekend with a gritty All-In Sports 2026 team. He's an athletic shooter that can create space for his shot off the bounce and can pull up for it very quickly. Griffin works best going from right to left with the ball and can use a right to left crossover as well as a little hesitation move. He has a really solid mid range game with a pretty floater.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1438242"],"_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":"Tropea is one of better pure point guards in the state of Michigan. His basketball IQ is truly elite. He feels the game and recognizes what his team needs at any given moment. Tropea can advance the ball off the bounce and will get it where it needs to go. If his team needs a bucket, he has the ability to attack the lane and score and also has an excellent jumper from behind the arc.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2058670"],"_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":"Hamlet should be fun to watch with Indiana Game 2025 UA Rise at the Chi-Town Tip Off. He's an intriguing forward prospect. Hamlet has the look of a bruiser in the post, and can be that. But his game is much more. He can extend the defense with his jumper and has the ability to shoot from behind the arc. Hamlet is also dangerous from the mid range with a nice looking free throw line jumper.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6617d63b0ad44"} /-->
