His offensive versatility extends to the post, where his physicality allows him to back down smaller defenders and exploit mismatches. He excels at finishing through contact. Defensively, Max embraces physical play and is unafraid to take charges. His strength and tenacity make him a strong rebounder. Max's impressive performances have begun to attract attention from college recruiters, with offers starting to come in. He recently received an offer from Coker College.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1454248"],"_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-66f575406cbca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christopher Mcknight is a guard whose team-first mentality elevates those around him. His natural abilities are complemented by a strong work ethic. Christopher possesses a smooth crossover move, and he's shown the ability to knock down three-pointers when he sets his feet. His dedication has not gone unnoticed, as he's been invited to several elite and college camps over last summer. He showed considerable upside during last season, and I fully expect him to make a huge impact for Norwin this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2388370"],"_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-66f57c1a3d08d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2388370' first='Brandon' last='Martin'] Jr. is rapidly ascending as one of the top basketball prospects in Westmoreland County and the greater Pittsburgh area. His performance with Wildcat Select AAU this summer has put him on the radar with many college coaches. He excels in isolation situations, using his excellent ball-handling skills to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. Defensively, Brandon's great size allows him to guard multiple positions. He doesn't shy away from contact and is willing to mix it up inside. His ability to score with his back to the basket adds another layer to his skill set. Coaches and scouts should keep a close eye on this promising young talent as he continues to develop and refine his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406082"],"_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-66f57c1a3d0fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1406082' first='Brady' last='O'Rourke'] has begun getting interest from several Division III programs. He's a great shooter with excellent range and defenders can't afford to give him any space. His athleticism is evident through his quick hops and high vertical leap. Always hustling, Brady finishes well in transition with either hand and utilizes a quick first step to beat defenders off the dribble. His physical style of play makes him a tough matchup as he doesn't shy away from contact. Defensively, Brady is known for his toughness and is an excellent shot blocker. He plays great help-side defense as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
