<p class="text-gray-700">Jean-Marie is a strong-bodied combo-guard who controls the game on both ends. Offensively, he handles pressure incredibly well and can get into the paint at will; he's quick and shifty with the ball in his hands. Defensively, he can increase the pace of the game by pressing full-court and turning the offense over. He never gets tired and was the cog on both ends for Team Evo.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Patrick is an incredibly intriguing long-term prospect. He's an above-the-rim athlete with excellent body control and finishing ability at the hoop with both hands. He also showed a fairly advanced post-up game that should only continue to improve as his body fills out, and a very workable outside shot. Depending on how much Patrick fills out physically, he could be a scholarship-level player.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Malek is an incredibly skilled ball-handler who operates under pressure with great ease and confidence. Despite getting hounded for 94 feet, Malek was able to fend off the defense and control the ball all game, oftentimes getting into the paint and dishing off for assists or finishing at the rim with contact. His change-of-pace dribble moves are tough to stop. Definite D3 player with D2 upside.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">I'm convinced Ndour has springs in both of his legs. The junior is still filling out physically but plays well above the rim on both ends. His motor and leaping ability allow him to control the paint and finish high-flying dunks, but the rest of his offensive game is still coming along. When it does, Ndour could turn some serious heads and perhaps even earn himself a college scholarship as a result.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Echevarria has the best vision I've seen at the tournament. He's strong and tough on the ball, and when he gets in the paint he can make every read in the book. He's especially effective in the pick and roll, where he can get the defender on his back and make plays out of there, Echevarria should get plenty of D3 looks and I personally think some D2 schools should take a look despite his size.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Mabry was arguably ATR's best player this weekend. For his size and strength, he has a really excellent handle and can get to his spots and elevate from the mid-range. If Mabry can't find a scholarship offer in basketball (which I assume he can), he should have football coaches calling, because he has excellent feet and hands for his size.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Granger is only a junior but has a great head on his shoulders which he pairs with excellent quickness and ball handling ability. He controlled the offense for Hamilton Elite and was able to set up his teammates while also finding scoring opportunities for himself. Granger was also one of the best on-ball defenders I saw today. Would expect him to get a plethora of college looks moving forward, especially if he grows.</p>
