<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> We've only seen this group a few times during the Spring and Summer.

He's a good court runner looking for transition buckets, and following up misses. He was active around the rim, taps, and put backs. He's thin but handles the bumping okay. He has an improving jump shot that could make him a stretch type prospect who can hit the 3ptr. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707496"],"_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-66c5550c3f678"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He won't stand out as a scorer, but what he does bring to the court is balance, and steady play. Standing 6'3 he has a versatile skill set, he has handles, vision, with good passing, and patience to run point. He can use his dribble for drives along the perimeter, including a pull up jumper he can hit from mid-range. He has range to drop 3's around the perimeter. He defends and rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707487"],"_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-66c5550c3f6b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's a well balanced sharp shooter we don't see often. He possess a good jump shot mid-range and from behind the 3pt line, he has to be accounted for. He's solid combo guard with good ball handling and passing skills. He plays hard defending and running the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707488"],"_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-66c5550c3f6f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A wiry point guard with a mixture of ball handling, and quickness to create shots for himself and others off the dribble. He might be underrated as a defender. He plays with energy, uses his lengthy arms, quick hands, and foot speed to defend ball handlers bringing it up, and shooters on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2240558"],"_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-66c5550c3f72b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's long with improved skills. He's a shooting guard that's comfortable putting up shots where ever he can use a dribble or two to find a spot for the mid-range. He'll work the baseline for short corner jumpers, or he'll spot up in the corners for 3's. He doesn't mind the contact going in for rebounds or shots. He runs the court, handles in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2197849"],"_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-66c5550c3f762"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A quality point guard with speed, handles and leverage. He's an excellent drive and kick guard with vision, he'll dump it off to bigs inside after drawing defenders. He'll take on contact with strong drives into the paint for buckets, he has a paint jumper, a floater. Good in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2228062"],"_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-66c5550c3f797"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's working a bit under the radar, he's put together a solid Spring and Summer against quality competition. He was part of a Fil-Am Select group. A speedy ball handling guard that can do multiple things on the court. He'll find mates with vision, and passing. He spots up for 3's, he'll go hard in transition. He'll stay close to ball handlers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

We've only seen this group a few times during the Spring and Summer. Some were starters and productive playing on competitive shoe Circuits the Spring and Summer, we expect they'll be big time contributors on their high school teams.
