He is excellent when coming off screens and moving without the ball. He also shoots well off the dribble. Isaiah's work ethic has been a key part of his development, and this summer he has expanded his skill set to become an all-around player. His size and length at 6'3" give him all of the physical tools to make an impact on both ends of the floor. He reads defenses well, finds open spots on the floor, and makes smart decisions in both transition and half-court play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Owen Maddalon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"North Catholic","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67067febb04f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owen Maddalon contributes in every aspect of the game while he is on the court.

As an excellent spot-up shooter with impressive range, defenders cannot afford to give him any space. He has proven time and time again to be a clutch performer, especially in big games. Jude's versatility on offense makes him difficult to guard. When defenders close out too hard, he can beat them off the dribble. Once in the lane, he finishes well at the rim and does not shy away from contact. His fundamentals are strong across the board, and his size and length give him an advantage over smaller guards. It's likely that he will continue to grow, which will only add to his versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
