Adept at rising up above the defense for high flying finishes, the guard has elite touch around the basket. Repeatedly succeeding as a complementary scoring threat off the initial rip through, opposing defenses had trouble staying in front of the incoming sophomore ugard. How [player_tooltip player_id='2350107' first='Mitchell' last=''] evolves as a facilitator will be worth following within Cherokee Trail's context, given his quick first step to pressure the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>High Impact</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2057083"],"_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-67040b9c6c87e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jegede just impacts the game in so many ways, with a nose for the ball and a intuitiveness without the ball. Bringing in good size along the wing, he will step into a starting role in year 2, tasked as a complementary shotmaker. His size allows him to immediately compete on the glass, effectively competing versus opponent box outs. That same length makes him a fairly dependable finisher around the basket, effectively finishing against contests in the paint. Help side defense will be another area of necessity of Jegede, often tasked with contesting or blocking shots once the opponents gets an open lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2297878"],"_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-67040b9c6c8c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sekue has found success in numerous areas oft eh floro due to his strong frame and progressing offensive skillset. Already capable of matching up 1 through 3, his reach and positional strength makes the wing a crucial defensive asset over at Rangeivew. In multiple club events, Sekue provided consistent floor spacing from distance, at his best from the open look. Boasting an especially lanky and athletic group of wings, there are few other teams in the state with their defensive versatility. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Offensive Weapon</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2120953"],"_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-67040b9c6c900"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brandt brings size and proven perimeter scoring abilities out behind the arc or within the mid-range. A capable shooter who can contribute attempts over the incoming contest, the guard has a great baseline to work with at this stage in his career.
