This past weekend was my first time watching Andrew compete, and I came away impressed with his coordination, footwork, and finishing touch at 6'8-6'9. He was constantly looking to establish deep post position and create angles for his guards to get him the ball, and when isolated on the block he was difficult to stop. Nolde showed the ability to score with a simple turn over his left shoulder, or use an up-and-under move to get his man in the air before finishing. He's not going to stand out with elite athleticism or explosiveness at his size, but he has good coordination at 6'9 and works hard to run the floor in transition. Does a nice job of keeping the ball out of reach of guards/wings after pulling in rebounds.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1561925"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1561925' first='Andrew' last='Jensen'] continues to make an impact this spring rolling hard to the basket on offense and protecting the rim on defense. In the two games I saw he tallied 4 dunks with quick cuts out of the dunker spot, or rolling hard from the top of the key. Good coordination to catch and elevate on the move at 6'9. Continues to show flashes of an outside jumper when left open as well. Defensively his combination of long arms, timing, and explosiveness makes him one of the best shot blockers in Wisconsin. Did a nice job of coming in from the help-side to contest the basket without picking up too many fouls.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2381804"],"_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":"Austin was a worker inside for 24:Up. He's a 6'6 forward that didn't mind doing the dirty work down low, as he was constantly fighting for position to pull in rebounds on both ends of the floor. Did a great job of securing defensive rebounds with two hands, and on the offensive end he was able to tip out misses to keep possessions alive for his team. Did the bulk of his scoring off of second chance points. Also provided a shot blocking threat on the defensive end.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2431888"],"_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":"The unsigned senior out of Milwaukee had some impressive moments in a win over United Hoops. At 6'5 he's a bit of a tweener between the 3/4 spots, as he has the length and energy to make an impact in the paint, but moves fluidly enough to play on the wing. Had some impressive plays going coast-to-coast showcasing impressive coordination and speed at 6'5 to weave in-and-out of defenders on his way to the rim. Made plays as a shot blocker moving in from the help-side, and showed the lateral quickness to move his feet out on the perimeter.","_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='2825013' first='Ethan' last='Koplien']","_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":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Weyauwega","_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":"Ethan is just scratching the surface of his potential as a raw 2u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e026 post prospect. At 6'7 he's extremely long and lanky, and he showcased his rim protecting ability against a tough [program_tooltip program_id='2141788' first='Mad' last='City Mambas'] team. His long and wiry frame combined with his timing to elevate allowed him to block a handful of shots around the basket in the game I watched. Offensively he's still very raw, but flashed a smooth jumper as he knocked down a corner three in the 2nd half. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2423298"],"_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":"Jordan's progress over the next few years will be worth tracking. He already stands at 6'7, and has solid mobility for a freshman his size. Jordan gets up and down the floor with ease, and worked to control the glass on both ends of the floor. Offensively he showed good hands to catch in traffic and go up to finish. Playing with a point guard who can drop him dimes at any moment, his abiltiy to make quick cuts into space opened up plenty of scoring opportunities in the game I watched. Also stepped out along the baseline for a mid-range jumper.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663a9be133e09"} /-->
