At 6'7 his size makes a difference on the game. He's a hardworking player with a bunch of moves at the basket. A player who has played key minutes at North Kansas City over the past two seasons. His ability to make the three, score over his shoulder, and block shots has brought value to his 816 Hoops team in the past month. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2394578"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eSalmon is one of the best shooters in the Kansas City metro and does so at 6'7. He's a specialist that can't be left open from beyond the arc. Pindowns, running corners in transition, and moving without the ball are all areas where he excels. Salmon has a 4.59 GPA and will be one of the best size + shooting academic prospects in Kansas. His game fits the modern style and he can play a number of positions. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1850450"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eFowler had a lot of success during his sophomore season at Winnetonka. The team made a final four appearance on the back of his play and he's one of the better 2026s on that side of the state. At 6'4 he brings a strong frame to the game and makes shots at all three levels. Look for him to be someone that attracts attention from colleges in the area as his game continues to grow. u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643e3164ad34"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1425347"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eGayman is one of the more productive players on any of the 816 Hoops teams. He's a hardworking guy that brings his lunch pail to the floor at 6'6. An out of area rebounder that scores due to his motor. He connects on short shots and makes his FTs. His ability to work from 15 feet and in opens up the offense. He's a piece that can play all over the floor. In 2025 there are few players that have a motor running as hot as Gayman. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Kamren Tate","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"North Kansas City","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"816 Hoops","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eTate adds a whole bunch of athletic ability to this team. He's a quick riser and plays above the rim in transition. At 6'1 he plays the PG for this team and makes life easier on everybody around him. He attracts so much attention getting paint touches and breaking down the defense. Tate was a highlight reel all season long for North Kansas City. His stock as a top guard in this 2025 class has been on the rise since the start of the new year. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643e3164ae41"} /-->
