His movement off the ball was polished and efficient; he navigated screens with good IQ, keeping his path low and tight while running with purpose. This ability to move sharply around screens opened up scoring opportunities, allowing him to maintain separation and knock down shots from deep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2635232"],"_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-67365ef266817"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2635232' first='Trey' last='Hall'] is an explosive mobile wing-forward with incredible aggression around the rim. Hall showed the ability to play above the rim on a consistent basis and throw down two-handed dunks in the open floor, in a congested paint, and head-to-head against a contested defender putting guys on posters throughout the first half of play. His empathic dunks, whether in traffic or in open space, added a layer of intensity to his North Crowley's offense and momentum. His willingness to take on defenders and finish with authority also gave him an edge, showing a fearlessness that impacted the game and energized his gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556873"],"_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-67365ef266858"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2556873' first='Braden' last='Givens'] embodies the qualities of a true point guard with his relentless determination and competitive spirit that elevates his game and those around him. Givens played with elite motor, being the first to go after loose balls, chase down plays, and even push the tempo in transition, consistently keeping pressure on the defense. With smooth, low, and tight handles, he sliced through the court with impressive shiftiness, staying unpredictable and effective as he maneuvered through defenders. Givens' intense focus and refusal to back down from any challenge is felt strongly in his game-changing presence on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2636779"],"_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-67365ef266894"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2636779' first='Dylan' last='Matlock-Reed'], a 6'3” lefty, made an electrifying impact with a stellar defensive sequence, showcasing his timing and athleticism. He chased down a dunk attempt for a block, then quickly recovered to rotate over and swat another shot from the weak side, sending the ball out of bounds and igniting the crowd. Offensively, Matlock-Reed displayed his shooting range, confidently hitting open three-pointers off drive-and-kick plays, prompting his teammates to seek him out. As an elite sophomore with a two-way skill set, Matlock-Reed is poised to become one of the top 2027 prospects in the state by season's end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556904"],"_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-67365ef2668ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">True freshman, [player_tooltip player_id='2556904' first='Ryland' last='Groom'] made his mark on the game with his three-point shooting ability and well-timed scoring within the rhythm of the offense. Groom also played with a contagious energy and passion, bringing intensity to every possession. His knack for finding open looks beyond the arc, coupled with his confidence to take and make jumpers, made him someone the defense must account for or else. Groom's contributions were seamless, showing an effectiveness and understanding of when to step up and provide a scoring boost while playing off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
