DMVlive at DeMatha was the first opportunity I had to watch Christian, and he was one of the most impressive players there. Christian is strong and has the body to play at the next level. Christian can score from all over the court but excels attacking the rim. The Maryland commit is a good creator and a tremendous athlete. He competes on both ends, and he will have a big year for a Mt. Zion Prep team that should be more than formidable. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528399"],"_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-66ff5bbbd5115"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2528399' first='Micah' last='Samuels'] is a new addition to the rankings and one of my favorite players to watch. Micah is the kind of player who can score 25 but doesn't need to score a lot to make his impact on a game. Micah can defend at a high level and is a fantastic rebounder. He can knock down perimeter shots but also does well attacking the rim. Micah had a great summer and his ascension to getting his name in the rankings is well deserved.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2529510"],"_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-66ff5bbbd5187"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2529510' first='Isaiah' last='Mansaray'] is a terrific shooter with a quick release. He has great range and does well creating his shot or spotting up. He does most of his work on the ball as he is a lead guard mainly. Isaiah has a reliable mid-range pull-up he gets to while going to either side. Isaiah is a solid defender as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284157"],"_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-66ff5bbbd51f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jerome Williams was another player who impressed me in June at DMVlive. Quickness and vision are the two things that stand out to me with Jerome. He is impossible to stand in front of and is one of the more explosive players in the DMV. When Jerome gets downhill, he does a great job finding bigs and shooters. Jerome is a crafty finisher at the rim, and being a little undersized, that is needed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2540452"],"_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-66ff5bbbd525e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I highlighted Mariano Tanedo a little over the summer, and his addition to the ranking feels right. Mariano is a complete point guard. He has a high basketball IQ and has one of the prettiest-looking jump shots. It always looks like it's going in and he gets great lift on it. Mariano is a good defender, and by all accounts is a great leader. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528346"],"_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-66ff5bbbd52c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2528346' first='Elijah' last='Mobley'] is a pure scorer and although he does a couple of other things well, the scoring is what he is best at. Elijah can pass the ball well and is a smart player overall. Elijah is more of a two-guard for me going forward even though he is a combo guard right now. Elijah transferred to Springdale Prep after being at Quality Education in North Carolina and he is someone I want to see more of this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
