Quick second jump, which allowed him to clean up inside on the offensive glass. Hemphill also proved comfortable with the ball in his hands — pushing the break off of loose balls, making good decisions in transition, and knocking down a corner-three. He wasn't exactly challenged by his opponents size on Friday night — allowing him to roam on the back-end of the defense — where he made an impact by actively sliding between rim contests to perimeter close-outs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1943740"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66514cff4cb9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Productive scorer. He kept it going coming off a hot shooting performance during last weekend's live period. Shoots it with range off movement. Displayed his athleticism on transition finishes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/05/uaa-live-period-kentucky-ohio-16-u-standouts/">Read about his breakout weekend at the UAA Live Period event here. </a></strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1990711"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66514cff4cbe3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sherif put together a few straight-line drives in traffic in the second half that caught our attention. Both ended with physical finishes with a defender draped all over him. Moves his feet well, including on defense, for his size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1950587"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66514cff4cc26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barbour blends length and athleticism with effort. He makes the second play, or the second effort, causing many problems at the point of attack. Impressive deceleration in transition to avoid a defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2442426"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66514cff4cc74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A classic post player, Pearson sealed defenders under the basket all night, making post entries not only easy but obvious. Showed touch around the rim. Stepped outside for a few three-pointers, a valuable addition to his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
