He gets into offensive players on the ball and slides his feet with great ferocity – he was one of the best on-ball defenders I saw today. Offensively, Williams is speedy in transition and will make the right play for his teammates, and he can also knock down an open outside shot. He should be one of the main offensive creators for Milton this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1529120"],"_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-6681eaf063bd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller is an extremely skilled and smart point guard with good vision and a flamethrower for a right arm. He's talented in the pick and roll and uses shifty change-of-pace moves to blow by quicker defenders. He also rarely makes the wrong read, making him the perfect kind of guy you want running your offense. Miller will be an excellent D3 player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633534"],"_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-6681eaf063c5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Campbell runs the offense and is the best ball handler for a really talented Macduffie squad. He's undersized but extremely strong and solid with the ball in his hands, even while being pressured aggressively for 94 feet. Campbell can also knock down the open three. His size will limit his D1 potential but he could still find a way onto a D2 or even potentially a low-major D1 roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2546888"],"_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-6681eaf063cdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sakihama was my favorite player I watched today, and it's not that close. He's the best passer in the gym and also maybe the best on-ball defender. He was making special passes all day and had complete and utter control of the entire floor. Even though he's only 5-foot-9, he's a special floor general who should be looked at by D1 programs searching for a point guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1106097"],"_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-6681eaf063d22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Odih is the main cog for South Kent's offense. He has great positional size for the point guard spot and can really handle the rock. He's most dangerous when he's coming downhill in transition and is also developing a three-point shot to make him a greater threat in the halfcourt. Odih has been offered by a handful of high majors and projects to be a really solid point guard at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2325774"],"_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-6681eaf063d61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rezendes is the type of player you love to play with and hate to play against. He's only 5-foot-10 but his heart is the biggest in the gym; he's an absolute workhorse defensively, taking charges and guarding for 94 feet. Offensively, he's lightning-quick with an amazing first step and excellent leaping ability. He's receiving D1 interest and for good reason. Appears to be an excellent teammate as well, constantly communicating with and encouraging his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
