He's shown some good toughness going through bodies to finish at the rim, he can step out and knock down some outside shots, and he's shown some good aggression to split defenders and make plays around the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2375345"],"_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-676461e84796f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moles is a pretty solid lefty guard with some quickness and toughness who played a big role last season and has continued to prove a valuable piece to what Shorewood does this winter. He has some shot-making in his game, can hit the outside shot at a decent rate and has some sneaky slashing ability too. He drew several fouls on drives in their game against Archbishop Murphy, showing some craftiness in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140805"],"_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-676461e8479be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stevenson has been a big riser in his class over the last year and now comes into this winter playing a key role for 4A Olympia. In their win over Bonney Lake he was a key guy around the paint, ripping down rebounds and dropping in shots in close. He did a lot of work before the catch that paid off huge, hustling down the floor and fighting his way into good position down low, as well as rim-running in transition and really looking to get the ball in good spots where he could use his strength to quickly go up and finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2392280"],"_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-676461e847a08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kinnay has been a big early-season riser for Auburn Riverside. He's second on the team in points per game (12.8) and leads the way in rebounds (7.6) and steals (1.2). He is a long guard who has really exhibited some impressive athleticism and pace, flourishing in the open court and showcasing some awesome aggression toward the hoop. He's a kid who looks to make plays and has shown some good anticipation on the defensive end to lead his team in steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140863"],"_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-676461e847a4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burley was a key contributor on both ends of the floor in their recent win over Mount Si, drilling outside shots and working to get in good position on the defensive end. I had him down for three 3-pointers on the night, none bigger than one late in the game over the length of [player_tooltip player_id='2021624' first='Brady' last='Hennig']. He also had several big momentum plays on defense, drawing a couple of tough charges and forcing turnovers by stripping the ball away on a couple of drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2548216"],"_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-676461e847a96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shah has been a key guy scoring the rock for Northwest so far and boasts a solid stroke from midrange and out to three. What really stood out in their game against Overlake though, was his length at the rim. He had at least six blocks and many of them came from just playing straight up and using his length while playing up tight on shooters. He also had a couple of blocks that showed some promising athleticism and it added another dimension to the young guards game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
