<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tonight, I went to a three-team scrimmage with Pickerington North, Olentangy Orange, and Beechcroft. This scrimmage was a great preview of what to expect this year in Columbus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Pickerington North Top Players</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1432005"],"_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-673d5ce3e3a2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lawson is a different type of athlete that most can not match. He is extremely explosive and has some other level fast twitch. He had a mean fast-break poster tonight. It is very difficult to even stay in front of him. He has a tight handle and makes stabbing, quick, misdirection moves that get you off balance. He will then blow by him and make plays. He did a great job tonight of seeing the entire floor at all points. He found an open teammate consistently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2047488"],"_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-673d5ce3e3a93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McFadden is someone that got on everyone's radar last year if you watched this Pick North team and he now seems ready to take the next step. He now has the confidence and looks that he will be a big-time winning impactful player. McFadden has a great build and frame. He has the ability to defend all five positions on the floor and will be tasked with defending the other team's best player. His shot seems to be smoother this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1708690"],"_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-673d5ce3e3ad8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bates showed tonight that he is a really good secondary ball handler for Pick North who brings an authentic scoring threat that the defense has to respect. He showed good ability to use the defenses close-outs against them to create shots and plays for teammates. He showed a good presence in the passing lanes and got a good amount of pokeouts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Olentangy Orange Top Players</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381887"],"_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-673d5ce3e3b18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller had a good scrimmage tonight and was a true difference. He is a big-bodied forward who is very physical. He moves well on both ends of the floor. He made strong and efficient scoring moves when it was dumped off to him. No one could really check him and was a big mismatch due to his physicality and size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2468565"],"_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-673d5ce3e3b58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas is a long and athletic forward for Orange that fits into this team perfectly. He is a great player in the full-court pressure that Orange has been applying. He does a great job of helping speed the game up. He can sit back and defend the rim nicely but he also can get into the passing lanes and steal the ball. He can play inside and out but he has good finishing ability through traffic. He does not make many mistakes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Tonight, I went to a three-team scrimmage with Pickerington North, Olentangy Orange, and Beechcroft. This scrimmage was a great preview of what to expect this year in Columbus.
