The lefty combo guard was sharp hitting threes from the corners but also was able to create and convert a number of floaters in the lane. The rising Southridge senior also made a distinct difference on the defensive end, applying pressure on ball-handlers and using his quick hands to garner a number of steals.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663472e720f8f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1643228"],"_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":2429360,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Kilfoil had his jumper stuck on automatic, especially in the championship game of the tournament where he really caught fire in the second half. The combo guard was scoring from everywhere on the court, whether it was from deep, pull-ups from mid-range, or getting all the way to the hoop in transition. The rising Jesuit senior didn't just hog the ball either as he also did a good job with playmaking for others.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663472e721009"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1370665"],"_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":2429363,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Pushing the ball effectively up the court all weekend was Russell, who was quick to get the ball and get [program_tooltip program_id='2248856' first='Players' last='Only'] into transition. The rising Westview senior was quick into the lane and finding open teammates on the perimeter for shots, and capably hit open jumpers when he was given the opportunity as well. Russell also made a number of tough layups in transition as one of the best at finishing over and around bigger players in the senior class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663472e721069"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2080025"],"_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":2429364,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The development of Clarke continues and he played extremely well on Sunday at the Portland Spring Preview. The 6-foot-7 big man effectively set up shop in the paint and was particularly effective with a quick move to his right for the bank shot off the glass. The rising Lakeridge senior also did a great job of cutting to the hoop to receive the pass for an easy layup or dunk.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663472e7210c5"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2051003"],"_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":"While others did the scoring, D'Haem did what he always does - do the little things that help win ball-games. The rising Westview senior consistently played hard-nosed on-the-ball defense often against bigger players, yet always kept his assignment in front of him. Offensively, he made catch and jumpers when he was left open and was also able to streak out on the break for some easy layups.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663472e721114"} /-->
