His speed and elusive handles enabled Leatherbury to get into the paint whenever he wanted. Once he was in the lane, Leatherbury scored via floaters as well as lay-ins and executed kick out passes. Leatherbury also popped pull up jumpers and drained a couple three pointers. On defense, Leatherbury provided menacing on-ball pressure. This season Leatherbury is averaging 14.3 ppg. and has already posted games of 34 (5 threes) and 21 points (2 threes).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2247399"],"_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-6770b23eac0de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Person is an intriguing perimeter prospect with a lethal jump shot. This weekend Person buried threes, mid-range jumpers and difficult bunnies over defenders. A couple of the triples Person hit this weekend were from NBA range. Person's high, ultra-quick release on his jumper is unique. His ability to find creases in opposing defenses for open looks was impressive too. Person is a long athlete with an enormous wingspan. That combination enabled him to gobble up rebounds and block several shots. Person recorded 13 points (2 threes) in GV's win over Freedom as well as 15 points (3 threes) against Radnor.   </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":2709533,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Matt Szychulski","_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":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Radnor","_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-6770b23eac1c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Szychulski is a traditional small forward with polished finishing skills and a solid frame. He does the bulk of his scoring damage from inside the arc via pick-n-roll action, dives to the rim and the offensive glass. Szychulski can also score by starting at the elbow and getting to the rack off two or three dribbles. Additionally, this senior can bully his way to buckets on the low blocks. Szychulski did flash a smooth three-point stroke too. Plus, Szychulski was a beast on the boards at both ends too (9 rpg. at GV tourney). He registered 15 points and 8 rebounds in Radnor's championship game win and was named MVP of the Great Valley Holiday Tourney.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1601189"],"_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-6770b23eac243"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Working as a primary ball handler, Smith stuffed the stat book in Radnor's championship game victory with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Smith is an athletic, quick twitch guard who used his tight handles to get downhill and attack opposing defenses. Once he was inside the arc, Smith navigated his way to the cup for a lay-ins, dropped dimes to the dunker spot and kicked out to open shooters. His ability to operate in pick-n-roll action was especially impressive. Smith's creative passing skills produced an average of 7.5 assists per contest at the GV Holiday Tournament. At the other end of the court, Smith's active hands and anticipation skills led to a slew of steals.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
