Last season he averaged 11.8 points per contest. However, over his last six games of his sophomore year he increased that average to 15 points per game. Included in that stretch were nights of 18 and19 points as well as a season high 23 points vs. Abington Heights in the PIAA 5A tournament. Hines attacks the rim on every possession. He is especially skilled at starting from the elbows and getting to the tin off one or two dribbles Once he arrives at the cup, Hines can flush on an opponent's head or avoid fouls with creative finishes. Hines is comfortable operating in the dunker spot too. He is a plus rebounder at both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2427378"],"_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-673fc1ee6ab08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In 2023-24 Nassry was the sixth man on a Parkland squad that captured the EPC as well as District 11-6A titles and advanced to the 6A state championship game. Parkland graduated all its top scorers from last year, so in 2024-25 Nassry will be their No. 1 option. Nassry is an athletic, Swiss Army knife style prospect. He can splash jumpers from all over the floor, including from behind the arc. Nassry also owns the handles and speed to push the fast break for scores or assists. His agility, bounciness and nose for the ball enable Nassry to snag offensive rebounds and convert them into points. Nassry has a knack for turning steals into easy buckets too. Last season Nassry scored a season high 12 points (2 3PM) vs. Allentown Central Catholic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1576725"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2640413,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-673fc1ee6ab7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As a sophomore Pukszyn averaged 9.3 points per night and scored a season high 16 points against 6A powerhouse Reading. Then this summer at Philly HS Live, Pukszyn exploded onto the recruiting map by destroying the competition to the tune of 17 points and 6 assists per game. Pukszyn does a fantastic job of balancing his own scoring with getting his teammates involved. He uses his speed and crafty handles to push the rock in transition for scores and assists. Those same assets enable Pukszyn to create half-court opportunities for himself and teammates. Pukszyn's jumper is accurate from the baseline to the mid-range to the arc. He is an automatic from the free line too. &nbsp;</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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2710239' first='Jackson' last='Wickenheiser'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bethlehem Catholic ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"PA Coalition","_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-673fc1ee6ac7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wickenheiser is an automatic long-distance shooter who drained 48 triples last season. He recorded six games where he canned 4 or more threes. Wickenheiser's quick release is impressive as is his ability to execute a ball fake followed by a side dribble into open space for a clean look. When he is not knocking down shots from behind the arc, Wickenheiser is hitting pull ups in the mid-range. Wickenheiser can also use his high IQ and court vision to move the ball to open teammates. Last season he averaged 8.7 points per contest and posted a season high 22 points (6 3PM) against East Stroudsburg South.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
