Two weeks ago, he was named as a top performer at the Never Forget Classic and this past weekend he torched opponents the Big 64 event. Booth notched a 20-spot against a talented Cumberland Valley team thanks to his speed and elusive handles which got him to the rim at will. He frequently went coast-to-coast for fast break buckets. In the half-court, Booth scored off the dribble through contact and with creative finishes that enable him to avoid being fouled. His Euro-step game was solid and his ability to play off two feet was noteworthy. College coaches will also love the court vision and passing skills Booth displayed at the Big 64.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1379430"],"_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-66f3795438be4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coatesville graduated its top two scorers from 2023-24, so Fowlkes role as the No. 1 option started this past weekend. Fowlkes rose to the occasion at the Big 64. He displayed tremendous off the bounce scoring skills as he used crossovers, between the leg dribbles and hesitation moves to get into the paint. Once Fowlkes was in the lane he scored via floaters and lay-ins. He also showed a soft touch as he kissed several tough shots off the glass for a bucket. Fowlkes drained several pull up threes too. His quick trigger and logo distance range were impressive.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209002"],"_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-66f3795438c23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Royal turned heads at the Big 64 by posting a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds (unofficially) against New Jersey powerhouse St. Elizabeth's. He is an athletic and agile power forward with an enormous wingspan. When you combine those assets with the rim-to-rim speed Royal displayed at the Big 64 you get an intriguing forward prospect. When the game slowed down, Royal scored from the dunker spot and on quick post ups. He flashed the ability to operate from the nail / elbows too. As a nice bonus, Royal proved he could work the offensive glass for second chance points.  </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":2549726,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Bo Ran u0022Moonu0022 Yue","_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":"6'10u0022","_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":"Phelps School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"New Heights EYBL","_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-66f3795438caf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This native of China created a tremendous buzz at the Big 64 Showcase. Yue popped jumpers from all over the court, including from behind the arc. He also handled the rock extremely well for a prospect of his size. His ability to confidently operate on the perimeter is unique for a big man. Of course, with his length and solid frame, Yue dominated the paint at both ends. For a 2028, Yue owns polished rebound positioning skills and footwork. This past weekend Yue displayed a basketball IQ that is well beyond his years. It looks like Phelps has landed an intriguing stretch-4 / 5 prospect to keep an eye on this winter.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
