He can go right or left dominantly to attack and produce positive plays on offense. He loves getting to the rim and finishes well around or through players but he excels at powering to the elbow or baseline and getting skillful shots up over defenders with a high release point. A strong defender can guard all guard and wing players, no matter size or speed he's built for both.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2389159"],"_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":"A confident shooter with range and the ability to make tough shots off the dribble. He can shoot the ball very accurately from deep, with a bouncy first step he will glide past you and get in between defenders for pull up jumpers. He can be a primary ball handler, capable of some playmaking duties but fits best off ball as a scoring threat. He understands spacing well as far as not clogging the court, sitting around waiting for open shots. Uses screens well and can find guys on the roll.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2402680' first='Tyler' last='Smith']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Oklahoma Primetime 2027","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"A forward that can roam wing to block and play well along the baseline. He can match up 2-4 on both sides of the ball. He has a nice mid-range shooting touch and will put it on the floor to make his way to the rim. Playmaking skills have some room for improvement as he can find open shooters but isn't a natural passer. Shows some speed in the open court getting back on defense to slow down opposing teams fast break looks. He gets deflections from being a good off ball defender sticking to his man and denying.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2393368' first='Karter' last='Harper']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Oklahoma Icons 2027","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Karter is a solid prospect filling multiple roles for his team. Can rotate baseline and wing and mix in some solid slashing. Moves laterally very quickly, covering space on the floor easily on either side of the ball. Can get to the free throw line using quick strong scoring moves but could be a more consistent shooter from the stripe. A ball hawk at times showing top speed to cover the court and closeout on shooters. He is an underrated rebounder as well.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"DJ Smith","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"Thunder 2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"DJ was a paint enforcer for most of the game, although he got into a little foul trouble it was meaningful as they got the win and kept scorers at bay. He kept opponents off the glass by winning rebounding battles. Showed some good post IQ by sealing the lane for teammates to get through easily. Good lower body strength and quick jumping with good timing make it hard for defenders to finish near him. Cleans up well inside and he will get second chance points when chances are there for the taking.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6614b56e4496c"} /-->

These prospects showed energy and effort to push their team. Grinding out tough possessions, showcasing their skills, and working hard for wins.
