Got everyone out of their seats. Myself included. Flying down the lane in transition for a posterizing slam. Almost had another one later on but drew a foul in the process. Had 7 points to close out the first half. Including a Catch-and-shoot 3-pointer and a cutting layup from the baseline. Wasn't needed much in the 2nd half, but closed the game out with a fast break slam.

Pulled up for a pair of triples early on, but was also as efficient with his playmaking. Something I didn't see much last week. A third triple put FP up 19 right before halftime.

Helped give a Hoops4Health a strong lead in the opening half. Confident driver down the lane while also hitting a 3-pointer to close out the first half. Showed some excellent footwork defensively in the 2nd half. Made it tough to break past him while also using his length to force numerous misses.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2384772"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eAnother Hopps4Health prospect playing up a level.

Knocking down three 3-pointers in the contest en route to 15 points.

Started things off with an acrobatic layup and hit a 3 shortly after. But many of those points were creative off assists. As least 3-4 in the first few mins. Later used his lengthy wingspan to poke balls free and convert on the fast-break. Midrange game was on-point too. Name any possible scenario a point guard might be in, and he did that almost to perfection. A true bucket-getter Saturday evening who did it from all three levels.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1513540"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eBuried a pair of threes for Kentuckiana to start Saturday evenings game while also making things happen in transition. Added a slashing drive down the lane off a quick first step towards the end of the opening half. Started the 2nd half with a 3-pointer from the top of the key. Also was a factor on the boards, which is something you don't normally see from guards.

But his defense is what caught my attention tonight. Blocked a shot in the opening few minutes and surprised an opponent with a steal behind his back on the following possession. Intercepted a pass shortly after and has a second block late in the first half.

Really good size for someone at his position. Ferocious dunk late in the first half. Worked well in transition, both scoring inside and facilitating for others. Hit a three from the elbow midway through the 2nd half and then hit another one off an and-one shortly after. Cut the game super close late with a behind-the-back assist and fast break score in the final minute.
