He brings the defense every game, all game, but he's really improving his stock on the offensive end this spring.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2173096"],"_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":"He got the rock to the hoop both driving in and finding guys with the pass. He's a guy that keeps the pace high, even in the half court, and can finish with the best of them around the basket. Just a very smooth offensive player with a big bag of finishing moves.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2205045"],"_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":"Wettlaufer is a kid with some good size who also exhibited some soft touch in the opening session. First, he hit a paint turnaround, then he stepped out and hit a corner 3. But the forward can also finish with some grit inside and got up for a big dunk on a dive to the hoop. He also showed some good strength to go through guys at the rim.","_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='2457302' first='Elijah' last='Davis']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Bonney Lake","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076514' first='Local' last='Hoops']","_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":"Davis is a pretty interesting prospect who has good size and skill, but clearly looks to have a lot more potential to reach. He showed some soft hands to catch off-target passes with some zip while on the move to the hoop, has a promising looking jumper out to 3-point range, and even made couple of nice passes for assists to cutters inside.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2380113"],"_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":"Huff continues to show some inside-out potential on the offensive end and is a guy who has the size and athleticism to get the board and go coast to coast. However, his biggest area of growth in session one was his rim defense. He's become much more aggressive and effective blocking shots at the hoop and has taken some initiative to become a better two-way player.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2380116"],"_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":"We have him listed at 6-foot-4 but Ghoreishi has easily surpassed that this spring, now standing closer to 6-foot-6. He's got a lot of potential for a 3u0026amp;D guy who's shown how his length can help him shoot over the top of defenders on the perimeter and help him be a factor around the rim. He's trending upward and is a player to watch in the next session.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1685505"],"_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":"The forward? Guard? I'm not even sure what to label him anymore. He's a guy who played forward in the high school season but has made major progress on his outside shot while still showing that innate knack for splitting defenses and getting to the hoop. Wherever you want to put him, he's a guy that gets the job done and has also shown better discipline and ability on the defensive end this spring.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["2021608"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Daniel had one of the best stretches from a competitive standpoint I saw from session one. In a close, back and forth game, he took over for a quick burst of plays to almost single-handedly steal back momentum and springboard his team to a win. He's a talented scorer who can shoot a high percentage from outside and has a deadly floater he can hit off either foot, open or blanketed.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663c2736e4e0b"} /-->

The first West session is in the books, and as we look forward to the next 3SGB West session it's time to talk about some names that should be on your watch list when the 3SGB returns to Ladera, May 17-19.
