I thought he excelled getting out in the open floor where he showed impressive vision to see the floor and deliver accurate bounce passes to his teammates sprinting alongside him. Was comfortable handling the ball under pressure, coming off screens to get downhill, and consistently made smart decisions with the ball. Really dangerous in pick u0026amp; rolls because of his passing vision, ability to attack and use his length to finish, and his shooting touch to make defenders pay for going under the screen.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2304732"],"_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":"Max does a great job of using his 6'4 frame to attack the basket for United Hoops. He just knows how to get his defender on his hip, and from there can dictate the rest of the possession as he works his way to the hoop. Against Diamond In The Rough he mixed in some tough finishes against size with a few outside jumpers. High release on his jumper makes it difficult to contest, and he was hitting big shots down the stretch to give his team a chance to win on the final possession.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1561878"],"_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":"Gannan is as tough as they come at the point guard spot. He's not going to put up big scoring numbers for this All Wisconsin team, but he's a true floor general who's going to set his teammates up and play scrappy defense. There's just no quit in his game, and that showed against Illinois Attack where he turned the ball over, and instead of pouting and jogging back, he instantly turned and sprinted to strip the ball back. Gannan is an absolute pest defending the ball who doesn't give opposing point guards a moment of rest.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2406308"],"_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":"Leul did a great job of setting up his [program_tooltip program_id='2075685' first='Minnesota' last='Select'] teammates on Saturday. The 5'9 point guard is so quick with the ball in his hands, able to get downhill and kick it out to his open shooters, or feed his bigs on the block. His 6'9 teammate was putting together a big game, so Leul made it a priority to get him the ball in dangerous areas. I also liked his willingness to pass the ball ahead when the opportunity was there, which helped his team get some 2v1 and 3v2 opportunities in transition. When he's not setting up his teammates, Leul showed deep range from beyond the arc.","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2824968' first='Tylan' last='Lister']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"77244","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Oshkosh North","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2347629' first='Wisconsin' last='PHD']","_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":"Tylan put together arguably the best scoring performance I saw all weekend. He just hit tough shot after tough shot to keep his team in it against [program_tooltip program_id='2141788' first='Mad' last='City Mambas']. The opposing team tried to guard him with a number of different players, but he just found ways to get to his spots and score. His change of speed allowed him to constantly get into his mid-range pull-up game, and with a high release he didn't need much space to elevate and get his shot off. Knocked down mid-range shots with a hand in his face like he was just shooting in the gym all alone. Impressive stuff from the Oshkosh North guard.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2045266"],"_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":"Michael showed two sides to his offensive game over the weekend. On Saturday he excelled at setting his teammates up with accurate passes. He was facing up out of the high post and from there he saw the floor so well to find an open man. Put together some nice passes pushing the tempo in transition as well. On Sunday he showed his ability to put up huge scoring numbers effortlessly. He can attack the rim like a wrecking ball, using his strong frame to just bully his way to the rim and finish with his left hand. Has no problem playing through contact and converting inside. Michael also showed a smooth three point shot with his left hand, keeping defenders honest when defending him. One of the most productive players you'll find in Wisconsin's 2u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e026 class.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1598786"],"_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":"Willie Felton was absolutely electric with the ball in his hands. He could fly up and down the floor in transition, using his quickness to pick up steals and turn them into points on the other end. Was arguably the best passer I saw all weekend as he could locate the smallest opening to a teammate and find a way to get the ball through. Was setting up his shooters with drive and kick passes, and always seemed to have his eyes scanning the floor in transition. Put in a very productive performance against [program_tooltip program_id='2075693' first='MN' last='Crossfire'] on Saturday.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663b764a4b689"} /-->
