He was a high percentage shot taker and shot maker on his way to averaging 23.3 points per game with the Midwest Flyers 2026 team. Duke can handle and set the offense as a lead guard and is dynamic with the ball. He's a tremendous overall athlete that shake a defender and get high off the ground on a finish.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2104598"],"_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":"I wasn't the only one impressed with the way Ennis played at the Queen City Classic with Cave Gym 2026. There were whispers around the stands. His weekend was undoubtedly highlighted by a 30 point explosion on Sunday. Ennis was strong with the ball and slippery on his way to the rim, showing an ability to adjust his body and path when a defender stepped over to help. But the most impressive part of his game came on the defensive end. He showed a defensive IQ that was flat out elite. Ennis forced his opponent to their weakness and proved to be a defensive playmaker all weekend.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2381911"],"_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":"Edwards had an outstanding weekend and was a huge part of one of the most impressive teams in the field. He helped his Kentucky Future Elite 2026 to a 4-0 record at the event. They were 1 of only 2 teams that stayed undefeated over the 2 days. Edwards highlight of the weekend came in an impressive win against [program_tooltip program_id='2317254' first='Cave' last='Gym Elite'] when he scored a game high 25 points. Defense ruled the weekend though and that's where Edwards truly made his mark. He was able to lock down some very high quality athletes and force low percentage shots. Edwards also has the ability to play big and attack the glass with ferocity.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2387451"],"_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":"Ladson definitely deserves to recognized for his play at the Queen City Classic. He helped lead the VIP Kings to a 3-1 record over the course of the weekend. They were 1 of only 5 teams that left with a record above .500. Ladson averaged around 15-16 points a game and was impressive in doing so. The highlight of his performance definitely came in a hard fought win against the Blue Water Hurricanes. In this game, Ladson went off for a game high 26 points. He showed the ability to groove his jumper from behind the arc, hitting 6 triples in the game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2109839"],"_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":"Straub made a lot of noise with his play at the Queen City Classic in Cincinnati. He was a long and athletic scorer that was at his best when he got downhill with the ball. Straub was able to find lanes to the rim and attack them. He was excellent in the open floor and was a strong above the rim finisher. Straub averaged 21.8 points per game in the 4 games this past weekend. He was very consistent, having a low scoring output of 15 points. Straub's best game was probably a 33 point explosion later in the day on Saturday.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661d43f1ae013"} /-->
