<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is Part IV in our review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who impressed at this past weekend's West Chester Big 64 Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2251705"],"_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-66f4c5430d7d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bakare already holds a handful of DI offers, but if this athletic hybrid-forward continues to play at the high level witnessed during the Big 64, we expect offers will come pouring in for him this winter. Bakare is extraordinarily athletic and possesses excellent speed as well a significant bounce. That trifecta enabled Bakare to thrive on the fast break where he consistently finished with authority. In the half-court, he splashed threes, cut back door for alley-oops and created off the dribble. He also exploded to the rim for several put back buckets. On defense, Bakare was a plus player as he guarded 2 through 5 and blocked shots. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398422"],"_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":"","_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-66f4c5430d848"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Back in June, Francis posted multiple 20-point outbursts at Philly HS Live. This past weekend, he proved those impressive performances were just the start of things to come. At the Big 64 event, Francis looked like a legitimate No. 1 / No. 2 option as he scored at all three levels and served as a primary ball handler. Francis got into the paint frequently for lay-ins and floaters. He also knocked home triples from all around the arc. As a facilitator, Francis displayed extreme patience and crafty moves as he probed the defense for the most efficient scoring opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2255163"],"_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-66f4c5430d88b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malley is a prospect whose stock has been on the rise over the last few months. That trend continued this weekend at the Big 64 as Malley's complete skill set was on display. He drained threes as well as stop-n-pop jumpers from all over the court. Malley also produced points in the open court. In addition to scoring, Malley displayed creative point guard skills. On the fast break, he executed several precise live-dribble passes. Malley also operated in pick-n-roll action and executed cross court dimes to open shooters. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874234"],"_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-66f4c5430d8ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In his first runs with his new squad, this former Sankofa Freedom Academy standout quickly found his groove. At the Big 64 Williams was a transition scoring phenom. His slick open court dribbling skills were extremely impressive. Once he got to the rack, Williams converted through contact and with creative flair that avoided fouls. During half-court possessions, Williams created off the bounce for himself and teammates. His straight-line drives were unstoppable. He torched the nets from deep too. Williams is going to be a tremendous addition to the Coatesville lineup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
