Shi boasts a solid 6'11 frame and gets off the ground surprisingly quick for a guy his size. He averaged 4 blocks per game over the weekend and was a force on the glass as well. Shi should be of interest to plenty of LM-MM schools come July.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2353624"],"_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":"JJ Stanford is only a freshman playing up in the 17u division but you wouldn't know it watching him play. His physical tools shine, especially on the defensive end where Stanford provides some stingy on-ball defense and can pick up the full length of the court. Offensively, Stanford handles the ball with poise and can knock down open shots when they're there. Stanford is guy that needs to be on some high-major radars.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1961315"],"_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":"Gus Carpenter shined in his role for Gain Elite this weekend and stepped up when it mattered most. He went for 20 points on night one, leading his squad to an impressive win over the Showtime Ballers. Carpenter is the ultimate glue guy, willing to do whatever his team needs to win. He's strong and reliable inside, also a consistent threat from the three-point line. Carpenter could end up being the key for Gain Elite in Augusta.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2197824"],"_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 Florida Vipers came out of Session 1 with a 4-0 record and Jaironn Speights is a big reason why. Speights is a quick and speedy point guard that loves to get downhill and score at the cup. On Sunday afternoon, Speights went for 29 points and hit the game-tying three that send the game to overtime where the Vipers pulled it out. Speights is a late bloomer that could pick up some real traction in July.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2321567"],"_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":"DJ Brown had a great weekend in Indianapolis, averaging 16 PPG and 9.5 RPG. Brown is a versatile wing forward that can play all over the floor. He's every bit of 6'5 and plays above the rim, several highlight dunks in transition. The majority of his points came off of tough finishes around the paint but Brown also showed the ability to hit shots from the high post out to the three-point line. DJ Brown should be a popular name amongst college coaches over the next two months.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664f5368ee039"} /-->
