Epema showed very good skill with the ball, being a lead ball handler, and making plays for himself in shot creation chances. Epema averaged 14 points per game as a Freshman and was a Prep Hoops AA all-state performer.</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":["2569252"],"_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-66eb0a5093b51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569252' first='Langston' last='Huffman'] - The six-foot Concordia Academy guard shot the ball pretty well from the perimeter making 3 3-pointers. He gets up and down the floor well, needs to develop more as a lead guard at his size. Huffman was very active without the board on the glass, offensive and defensive showing good ability to rebound his position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2569239"],"_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-66eb0a5093b90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2569239' first='Eli' last='Samuel'] - Samuel is a six-foot-six-inch wing from Hope Academy that seems to have potential with his lanky length. Samuel runs the floor well, and fluidly, is pretty agile. Samuel is ahead as a defender because of his physical attributes over skill. Biggest area of opportunity will be Samuel developing his basketball skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2375788"],"_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-66eb0a5093bcf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2375788' first='William' last='Thiemann'] - The six-foot-five-inch Thiemann is a good floor spacer at the shooting guard/small forward position.

Carpenter plays the game quickly, running off rebounds, and getting up the floor with good intention. Carpenter's outside shot looked good when he sank a corner 3-pointer. I liked how he gave the ball up but kept moving to free himself for the open shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140691"],"_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-66eb0a5093c48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2140691' first='Santiago' last='Connell'] - Connell is a five-foot-eleven-inch guard from Prior Lake and played for the [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury']. Connell seems decently skilled in all the places for a guard, I liked when he attacked his defender and got into the painted area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
