Ham is also a standout football player and you could see a lot of that strength and physicality carry over from the gridiron. He's 6'5 with a long, muscular frame and has the bounce to make plays above the rim. He had several dunks and blocks throughout the camp, also stepped out to hit a couple three-balls as well. He will be a welcomed addition to the program at Marietta this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2324919"],"_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-66bb5eb8cdf0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2324919' first='Miles' last='Cromwell'] had a productive day at the Freshman Showcase and caught the attention of several scouts and coaches. Cromwell was one of the taller prospects in attendance and he used the size advantage to do a lot of damage around the rim. He was constantly cleaning the glass for second chance points and challenged a ton of shots on the defensive end. Cromwell carries a lot of long term upside, especially if he keeps growing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194582"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2523758,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-66bb5eb8cdf61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">St. Andrews was well represented on Saturday and [player_tooltip player_id='2194582' first='Chase' last='Brown'] was one to make a name for himself. Brown is extremely versatile, able to slide in at multiple positions and play them effectively. Brown has a solid frame at 6'2 and is strong around the rim, several tough finishes and aggressive boards. The lefty stroke looked smooth too as Brown connected on multiple three-pointers. He'll be one to keep an eye on down in Savannah.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2513318"],"_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-66bb5eb8cdfe0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2513318' first='Johnquell' last='Garner'] put forth an impressive showing at the freshman showcase and separated himself from others in attendance. Garner is a mobile forward that plays big around the paint but can also attack from the perimeter. On the defensive end, he did a great job of rotating in help side and challenging shots at the rim. Garner is definitely worth tracking over the next few years.</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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Grant Bonner","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mays","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-66bb5eb8ce063"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grant Bonner had some bright moments on Saturday and made a great first impression on our staff. Bonner took on the role of a stretch 4 through most of the 5v5 portion, knocking down numerous three-pointers and also mixing it up inside with the bigs. He has a quick and confident trigger from behind the line. Bonner also made his presence felt on the glass. The Mays product is now on our radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
