In the open floor he attacks the paint aggressively through tough contact finishing at the rim at a great rate. Offensively he can go from a slow to fast pace keeping the defense guessing on how to guard him. Defensively he held his own competing on that side of the floor especially against opposing guards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552340"],"_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-668e14fe70b9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker Hoskins is a capable finisher in the paint using his good footwork to create easy opportunities for himself. He stretches the floor with his ability to shoot converting on some wide-open opportunities from all over the floor at times. When rebounding he showed toughness over the weekend competing against other centers that may have been taller than him. Baker Hoskins is a versatile offense player with his ball handling skills as well creating shots for himself against defense's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1590877"],"_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-668e14fe70bde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1590877' first='Jaxon' last='Sneed'] plays with great energy on both ends of the floor as he gives his 100% effort on every play. When playing defense, he hustles staying in front of opposing offensive players and trapping in the team's press well. He is a playmaker on offense making some of what you think is a difficult pass, but he made those difficult passes look easy. Along with his playmaking he has a great IQ for the game making the right decisions with the ball in his possession. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2486884,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Israel Awoyomi","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mansfield Legacy High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2484534' first='Nike' last='ProSkills MTX']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668e14fe70c66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Israel Awoyomi uses his physical tools well around the rim on both defense and offense. Defensively he anchored the paint blocking shots and not letting the opposing offense get easy shots in the paint making it difficult for other teams throughout the weekend. He took advantage with his athleticism on offense by getting putbacks off offensive rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2413447"],"_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-668e14fe70ca7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jawun Shaw is an explosive athlete that can score the ball at will when he wants to. Offensively he plays at his own pace, but he mainly is playing fast with the ball in his hands. In many of his possessions he made the right pass to set up his teammates for scoring opportunities. When in transition he executed some plays that oohed and aahed the crowd watching. On defense he did really good being in passing lanes to pick up some steals throughout the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
