He has great size at 6'1 with lengthy arms and natural athletic ability. He demonstrated all weekend long a nasty pull up jumper off of the dribble in the midrange, a natural rebounding ability, a physical demeanor that's willing to mix it up with bigger players, and understanding of his own skill level. If he continues to work at his game as he gets older, I'm sure he is going to be someone who can produce at the high school level and maybe even further on.","_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":"Samuel McElrath","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"AK Elite 2028 ","_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":"AK Elite 2028 put together a weekend to remember. One of their standouts on the offensive side of the ball was SG, Samuel McElrath. McElrath is a crafty offensive weapon. He loves to dribble hard into a fade away midrange that happens to go in a lot. If the defense jumps, he is smart enough to work off of a balanced stance and two feet so he can counter to score in a number of different ways. This weekend I saw a lot of good prospects over the two days but McElrath definitely stood out as one of the best as a whole at times.","_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":"Nehemiah Kiiru ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77244","_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":"Madison Spartans Basketball 2028","_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":"Speaking of crafty playmakers, someone else that really showed out as a whole this weekend with his smooth skill was CG, Nehemiah Kiiru. Kiiru has a slow but smooth game, a determined mindset while attacking, and the ability to make a play happen out of thin air when things seem to be coming to a stop. You hear the term, slow is fast. Kiiru embodies that term in the best way imaginable. He is hard to time as a defender and that helps him succeed in several different aspects of the game.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2381428"],"_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":"One of the bigger Shooting Guards I saw compete these past few days, that has some swagger to his play style is [player_tooltip player_id='2381428' first='Carmelo' last='Jones'] of The [program_tooltip program_id='2075383' first='Chicago' last='Demons'] 2028. Jones stands at 6'3, he has an effortless shooting stroke and he can work by putting the ball on the ground, getting to his spaces where he is most comfortable. When you are talking about prospects and some with the highest potential that were there this weekend, Jones is in that conversation.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2438561"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2438561' first='Chris' last='Coville'] is a someone that is going to be able to take his talents to a few places at the end of the day if he works on the skill side of the game. Coville has the natural size, athleticism, and a physical play-style that all coaches love. At times he plays like a football player but he is skilled and agile in his own right. This weekend he was a crucial piece to his teams success of putting together an undefeated weekend. Something he should be proud and use the momentum of moving forward.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664b6bfd65608"} /-->
