This is made possible by a good movement profile for his size, along with what looks to be a reliable jumper as a catch and shoot option from the perimeter. This spring he has flashed some of the grit and toughness to do the dirty work around the rim. With the developing athleticism to be an above the finisher.  Rhodes has a strong and athletic foundation to build off, with the potential to emerge as one of the better prospects in Oklahoma.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2439789"],"_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":"The young lead guard looked advanced in a Saturday afternoon win for this TTG Elite team.  Hankins showed good playmaking and reading of the game on drives, by allowing the defense to overcommit and then firing good passes to open teammates.  Those passes created good scoring opportunities around the rim, along with crosscourt kick outs to open shooters. More than just a passer that same feel on drives make him a scoring threat with runners and the occasional ability to finish through contact","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2439784"],"_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":"Athletic and energetic, Johnson has been a whirlwind on both ends of the court for [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin']'s 15U squad at a couple different events. He's flashing the developing athleticism to potentially be an acrobatic above the rim finisher. While also being disruptive on defense with steals and blocks. He's at his best in transition, but he plays with his head up as a passer, hinting at his future as a more well rounded guard.","_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":"Quaid Thomas","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_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":"Cheney High","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"One of [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin']'s 15U most productive players over the past weekend, Thomas is willing to post up on the block and use a combo of his strength and quickness to be an effective post up option.  He also provided verticality for his squad's deep group of guards as an above the rim option with good quickness and lift in how he gets off the floor. Add in the occasional jumper made, and there's a good picture of the upside for the young prospect from Kansas.","_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":"Gerald Jackson","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77247","_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":"TTG Elite","_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":"A gritty garbage man type player for his TTG Elite squad. Jackson did his damage around the rim with a mixture of crashing the offensive glass, running the floor hard and even showing good feel in as roll man and off the ball mover.  Production should never be discounted and the youngster looked to be a solid athlete.  He'll be a player to keep tabs on throughout the summer heading into his sophomore season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643af0ebf689"} /-->
