He showed he could hold his own among a talented cast of prospects as he finished with double-figures in scoring while acting as an off-the-ball presence. He's shown he can operate at both guard roles despite being a point guard in high school and remains a target for college programs of all levels to track in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1281016"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aaa277a8088"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beale showed off his emerging versatility in the Team ZeroXcuses rotation in their trek to the title at the 252 Summer Finale. He's a sizeable name to get to know at 6-foot-4 with good instincts and athleticism. He utilizes his length and athleticism well around the rim on both ends of the floor to make his presence felt in more ways than one. He's got a breakout junior season on the horizon with Garner Magnet High. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1411217"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aaa277a80ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Price is a versatile presence who's shown he can operate inside and out on the floor at 6-foot-4. He's a matchup nightmare on the hardwood who showed he could fill it up and battle on the boards for [program_tooltip program_id='2510510' first='TSG' last='Hoops']. He finished with 20 points in their victory over CP3 East and 23 points in their 16U Silver Championship victory. He can knock down shots on the perimeter and does well to move without the ball and clean things up on the rebounding front to shore things up that way. He's a name at Southeastern Christian Academy to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2481785"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aaa277a8162"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lamb was another face with [program_tooltip program_id='2510510' first='TSG' last='Hoops'] to keep an eye on at the 252 Summer Finale. He's shown he can operate at either guard role as both a facilitator and scorer at 6-foot-4 all-weekend long and finished the weekend averaging nearly double-figures in both scoring and rebounding as one of the leaders for their squad on the hardwood. He's a prospect at Laney High to keep an eye on alongside his brother, Whit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2268835"],"_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":2510491,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aaa277a81d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Greene is a name who continues to climb up the radar with [program_tooltip program_id='2510496' first='Team' last='CP3 East']. He did well despite playing up an age group in the 16U division, showing flashes of his ability to score around the rim rebound the basketball and alter shots. He's coming into his own heading into his sophomore season with Southern Nash High as a mobile big man who can protect the painted area on defense and dominate offensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2510474"],"_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":2510517,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aaa277a8255"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lamb is the younger brother of Colin and a member of the 2027 class who played up on the 16U stage this past weekend and showed he could hold his own. He's quite the rebounding presence, similarly to his brother, but his game differs when it comes to his scoring spurts. He's liable to go off on a shooting spree on the perimeter given his efficiency from behind the arc. As he continues his development, he's a prospect to keep an eye on over at Laney High as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
