He can operate off ball as a scoring wing or serve as a primary ball handler. From either spot Howard can use his elusive handles get to the rack off the dribble. Once Howard is in the lane, he can convert lay-ins through fouls or unleash a floater. Howard's dribble pull-up game must be respected too. His speed and quick decision making enable Howard to excel coming off DHO action. Those same assets make Howard a major open court scoring threat. &nbsp;&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='2710256' first='Jack' last='Quinn'] ","_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":"6'0u0022","_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":"Cardinal O'Hara","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy']","_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-6760e17920501"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quinn is a multi-sport athlete who is also a ranked baseball pitching prospect. On the hoops court, Quinn is a highly accurate 3-point shooter with textbook mechanics and a quick release. Quinn's non-stop off ball movement and keen ability to use screens make him extremely difficult to defend. Over the weekend this junior popped 5 threes (5 of 6) on his way to 15 points against Mt. Carmel (MD). Recently Quinn also poured in 19 points (2 threes) in O'Hara's win over Scranton Prep.</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='2710249' first='Carl' last='Raymond'] ","_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":"6'4u0022","_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":"Church Farm School","_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-6760e179205f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Raymond is a long and multi-skilled prospect who is flying under the radar in the Bicentennial Athletic League. This past weekend, Raymond stuffed the stat book with 24 points (3 threes), 9 rebounds and 5 assists in win over WC Rustin. So, his under the radar status may not last much longer. In addition to splashing triples, Raymond can create for himself and teammates off the bounce. His court vision and high IQ make Raymond a creative passer. On defense, Raymond has a knack for slicing through passing lanes for steals that lead to run outs for easy buckets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2525321"],"_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":2697856,"_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-6760e17920699"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Somehow one of the premiere point guards in the Mid-Penn conference is still being overlooked by college coaches. Slappy is a remarkable floor general who also happens to be a lights out 3-point shooter. As a primary ball handler, Slappy can direct half court sets or push the rock in transition for scores and assists. His quick bursts and nifty handles get Slappy to the rim at will. If the help defense manages to cut him off, Slappy will drop a slick dime on a teammate. This past Saturday Slappy recorded 19 points (2 threes) against Trinity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
