<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the seven wing and forward prospects who impressed at the Prep Hoops Minnesota The Expo at Bloomington Jefferson!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560771"],"_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-66f48203de95d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julian was one of the best scorers I saw all day and I expect him to have some big scoring performances in his junior season. He is always playing at his own pace, always looking comfortable and never looking sped up. He did the majority of his damage from the perimeter, being lethal both off the catch or off the dribble. Greer also has a big 6'3” frame that he was using to get inside and convert around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1574215"],"_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-66f48203de9cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abu looks ready for a big senior season at Park Center, as he was one of the many Pirates showing out on Sunday. His athleticism was on full display, throwing down some high flying dunks when he got in the open floor. He can also shoot it off the dribble from outside and has many ways he can create separation from a defender. Keita can use his strong 6'5” frame to get inside and finish through traffic as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175452"],"_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-66f48203dea14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Great was one of the most explosive prospects I saw on Sunday, showing off his athleticism every time he got in the open floor. He was constantly making plays above the rim on both offense and defense. He was dunking everything whenever he got the chance and was a good defensive interior presence as well. Emadamerho is another name to watch at Champlin Park this year, a program that seems to have a ton of individual talent right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175470"],"_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-66f48203dea69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mohamed was a prospect I was not very familiar with headed into The Expo, but he turned in a great day. He has a strong 6'5” frame and was using that to get inside and attack the basket. He was an effective finisher with either hand and was more than capable of battling through contact and converting over defenders. He is also a great rebounder on both sides of the ball, using that size and strength to gain position on opponents. Bashir is a really interesting prospect out of Hopkins and it will be interesting to see how he gets utilized. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874846"],"_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-66f48203deaaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gavin has such a smooth game and he was fun to watch operate on Sunday. He is a knockdown shooter from the perimeter, showing confidence on deep looks. He also has the length to make a difference inside, having creative ways he can get to the basket and finish. Johnson was a prospect I really liked during the spring and summer, being a very versatile option.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2575651"],"_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-66f48203deae3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quincy was fun to watch with the ball in his hands, as he can score in a variety of ways from different spots on the floor. He is a confident player who is always looking to make a play. He is a good shooter from the perimeter, looking good when pulling up off the dribble. Johnson also has a strong 6'3” frame that he can use to slash to the basket for finishes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2402639"],"_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-66f48203deb1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taigan had a nice day at The Expo on Sunday, displaying skills that I saw a lot of during the spring and summer. He is a phenomenal shooter, needing to be accounted for from the perimeter whenever he is on the floor. He is also a smart player and makes winning plays everytime I watch him. Plowman-Tate had a great AAU season with Minnesota Crossfire and it looks like he will carry that into his senior season at Coon Rapids.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
