He led with his defense, and led the way for his team as a point of attack defender all weekend. His ability to stay in front of the ball made it easier work for his teammates to stack to their matchup. A.J proved to have great reaction time to the flight of the ball on passes and shot attempts. His quick reflexes put him in position to sneak offensive boards from the bigs down low. Offensively he was a consistent floor general that minimized mistakes and delegated to his teammates effectively. Most impressive was his approach on the offensive side of the ball, as he hit timely shots when his team needed it the most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2409030"],"_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-6699cf401efb2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor initiated the offense and controlled the tempo for Hoop Nation. In full court pressure scenarios, he was a reliable source of court vision and ball handling. He was at his best moving without the ball and attacking off of the catch. Kai moved with intent into space for himself and teammates to be successful. He did most of his damage from range via his high arching jump shot. His strong base and consistent rhythm when shooting the ball was really impressive. His shot selection was graded highly in my eyes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>_{&nbsp;Abe Kamara | [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']}</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Abe Kamara","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']","_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6699cf401f033"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamara was an instant offense for the [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. His bag was on display all weekend long. He showed the ability to get down hill with either hand and finish with poise. He was prolific when getting into the painted area - often finishing through contact against much larger defenders. He was versatile in the mid range area with floaters and quick pull up jumpers. Abe is also a highly capable defender who showed glimpses of jumping into the passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2411333"],"_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-6699cf401f077"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor was a perimeter threat who used his size and speed to impact the game for Hoop Nation. What this 2028 prospect lacked in size he made up for with speed. He directed traffic at a high level on the top of zone coverages and put his opposition into help defenders and tough shot attempts. Caden was reliable pushing the break and made solid decisions in the open floor. He distributed and relocated with intent. Most impressive was his ability to knock down corner threes in the half court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
