He was creating shots for his teammates and had 13 assists in all.

I thought he did a pretty solid job, and the Blue Knights didn't do too much damage from close range. On offense, Jones used his athleticism and size to overpower the DPAC forwards on a couple of his drives. Perhaps his best play of the day was a shifty move on the baseline that he ended up finishing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 8 Points, 9 Rebounds, 3 Assists, 1 Block </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374248"],"_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-6791652e9fc99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2374248' first='Dashaun' last='Harris'] was in his bag on Tuesday night. The Democracy Prep freshman had some nice bursts to the basket on offense, and managed to hit some very difficult lay-ups. The Mater East guards resorted to fouling a few times due to him beating them with his explosive first and second steps. On the defensive end, he used his lateral quickness to stay with his guy and also came up with a block. All in all, it was a valiant effort despite not getting the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 22 Points, 1 Block</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1965364"],"_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-6791652e9fcdc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1965364' first='Dion' last='Parker'] played with assertiveness on the offensive end. Which resulted in him making a decent amount of shots inside the paint. He also got the Mater East bigs into some foul trouble, but the Blue Knights just didn't take advantage of the situation. On defense, he battled with seniors Kenden Jones and [player_tooltip player_id='1243526' first='Lonnie' last='Bass Jr']. for rebounds and positioning. While they got the better of him a couple times, he did come down with some impressive boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 11 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
