The Last Dance: Jack’s Friday Night Stars

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the seven prospects who impressed on day one of Prep Hoops The Last Dance in Chicago!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140580"],"_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-66920eefc9213"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carter absolutely dominated on the offensive boards in a Friday night win. He was stronger than any opponent on the floor and always seemed to be positioned in the right spot. He was battling through contact for contested finishes through traffic, including a couple of three-point plays. He is also very mobile, being able to run in transition and defend a variety of positions. Zollar and [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] start the weekend off 1-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2338332"],"_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-66920eefc92a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">TyJuan took over in a hard fought win on Friday night. He was easily the quickest player on the floor and could use that speed to knife his way through the defense in the half court or when pushing the pace in transition situations. He had a huge second half and overtime period, getting downhill for some huge scores at the rim, despite being the smallest player on the floor. Hunter is a true competitor and willed his team to a victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2121351"],"_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-66920eefc92fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have mostly known Tanner as an off-ball scoring option, but with a couple guys out this weekend, he really stepped up as a facilitator. He is at his best when pushing the ball in transition. He was hitting his teammates with perfect passes in stride, which resulted in several easy layups. He was also creating shots for himself using the dribble, being able to shoot off balance or with a hand in his face. Rose really impressed me on Friday night and should be in for a big weekend with a somewhat expanded role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2425956"],"_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-66920eefc933d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was fun to watch Perry go to work with the ball in his hands. He is super smooth and has a deep bag of moves he can go to to get around opponents. He can play at different speeds, being able to slowly break down defenders in the half court or push the ball up the floor in transition. He did most of his scoring around the basket, being able to hang in the air for acrobatic finishes through traffic. Tchiegne was also drawing a lot fouls to get to the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552419"],"_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-66920eefc937d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ryan turned in a super solid performance on Friday night, coming up huge down the stretch of an overtime victory. He was a consistent scoring option for his team, knocking down catch-and-shoot three-point looks in both halves. He did not shy away from the moment down the stretch, hitting a triple in the corner to give his team the lead with under a minute left in OT. Walsh had just around 20 points, including the game-icing free throws before the final buzzer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2126126"],"_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-66920eefc93bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ray was too strong and physical for opposing players on Friday night, being able to control the paint. He has a very high motor and was hustling all over the floor for rebounds on both sides of the ball. He could use his size and strength to grab contested boards, then being able to finish through contact for a putback basket. Brau also set some really nice screens and can take advantage of smaller defenders with his post game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391672"],"_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-66920eefc93ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeffrey has a ton of potential as a prospect and I liked what I saw out of him on Friday night. The incoming sophomore stands at 6'8” and moves pretty well for his size. He really stood out to me as an interior defender, being able to use that lanky frame to block or alter any shot that came in his area. He was also solid when finishing around the rim off of passes from teammates. Hassan is still a pretty raw prospect, but I saw a lot of flashes of a potential monster shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
