Lighting quick first step and 2 way player on offense and defense. He is also the definition of a real floor general a pass first shifty guard who plays beyond his years with <em>poise </em>on the floor a 3 year starter for Horace Mann Middle school he comes into his freshman year with a division I offer from Illinois State University. The Red Dragons of Saint Albans and Coach England will be looking to showcase this true freshman talent immediately. Ranked #1 in the State and #2 in the nation from Phenom America is a tall order for most but not for this kid he is ready and works harder than most he has an everything taken nothing given attitude. His Varsity basketball coach England for Saint Albans says he's a joy to coach learns quick and responds fast. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2488807"],"_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-66910aca4c078"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2. One of the most underrated and most talented guards in this class and the state do not let his size fool you as big things <em>come </em>in small packages. <em>Duece </em>is one of the most fierce on ball defenders I have <em>ever </em>seen. He is also an IQ player who's heart for his teammates is bigger than his appetite to score he is a floor general who demands respect if you don't give it he will take it. With his feather soft floater or much improved jumper from 3 or midrange he's worth the price of admission. Look for him to make an immediate contribution for coach Green and the Cougars also a dual sport athlete with equal talent in football. Definitely <em>one </em>to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2395983"],"_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-66910aca4c0bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">3. A touch of perfection. This timeless gym rat spends hours and hours perfecting <em>one </em>of his best tools in his bag, <em>one of </em>the best shooters I've seen in the State and his class. He is a high IQ player as well does not mind going into the paint to mix it up for rebounds and assist as well looks to be an immediate contributor <em>for </em>Coach Greene and the Patriots. We look for him to have a great first season stay tuned for great things from this knock down shooter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2488808"],"_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-66910aca4c0fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">4. Shifty smooth guard with a trigger quick release can bait you in with his knowledge of the game. Very quiet in demeanor but this silent assassin can explode for 30 on any given night with very underrated talent that has tons of basketball experience. Smith can play all guard positions but is most known for his feathery touch from 3 and mid-range and a bandit with an array of tools in his bag. Look for this gun slinger to have <strong>a</strong>n<strong> </strong>immediate impact in the rotation for coach Greene and the Patriots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2488810"],"_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-66910aca4c13e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">5. Very talented player looks to attack down hill great shifty guard with tons of moves in his bag. A very elite ball handler that can get you going <em>one </em>way and has excellent C.O.D. change of direction skill. Crafty is a great word to describe this gym rat also known for his IQ and underrated knock down shooter when this kid plays to his potential. He's a tough out every<em> </em>night. Look for him to make an immediate contribution for the Indians of Sissonville. Definitely <em>one you </em>wanna keep your eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
