What I have seen develop more lately is leadership. Leadership on the court, in the weight room Jarrius has transformed his body and yielded great statistical results. The remainder of this off season will focus on turning the acrobatic layup splitting defenders into a pull jumper. Making the game and his offensive game less taxing for his energy levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2022281"],"_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-671808d2f3c99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you weren't paying attention prior to the close of off-season, prepare yourself. John Jay has a new weapon, silky shooting, saucy drives and look out below dunks. Kai broke his hand early in the summer leading to his senior year. Healed up, extra workouts and weight room will have many spectators exiting Maurbach. Lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556992"],"_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-671808d2f3cf7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2556992' first='Lynol' last='Gillespie Jr']., known as Junior. in the gyms he frequents. Tough minded, he has a grueling trainer known for getting great results. Junior will see playing time, I will never forget his first shot in high school varsity competition. First shot corner three pointer, ice in his veins. Length adds to his defensive abilities coupled with quick feet and instincts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2555269"],"_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-671808d2f3d37"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Known for his high flying dunks, Kristian is working to create himself into a ell rounded player. Athleticism, length and toughness has never been a concern. Last time I observed him, three point shooting has improved, ability to drive downhill improved. Continued improvement in these areas will further develop his recruiting profile.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2554889"],"_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-671808d2f3d71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Height check, athletic ability check and physique check. Potentially one of the top 5 most exciting players to watch in the 210. We've seen the blocked shots, we've seen the thunderous dunks and we've seen the tough offensive rebounds converted. If we see these components come together on a nightly basis... We might be looking at a "District 29 Championship" team award but also a "District 29 MVP". That's the potential this young man possesses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
