--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This Decatur Eisenhower 5'9” point guard had a nice showing when we saw him last high school season.  We were impressed by his activity level and scrappiness on the defensive end.  Speedy guard that pushes it and can get to the rim for acrobatic conversions.  Also liked his mid-range pull up game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
