He does a good job boxing out. Edema is effective in the two man game and is an elite brick-wall screener. Edema rim runs at a high level and does a good job of not trying to reinvent the wheel when he plays. He came down with rebounds. He uses his size to be a rim protector. His ability to convert efficient shots was shown often. He continues to develop as time goes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470853"],"_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-678dc8b7e6490"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Awaka is a stout post player who is built like a statue. He had a triple-double with blocks, rebounds, and points. He has great timing and is like a street sweeper when he alters shots. He is so close in height to the rim it allows him to rebound with ease. Awaka hit a tough shot when he was inside the paint and it got the members bounce before it went in. He is fully bought into playing on the interior and does not drift out the perimeter. He plays with a great motor. Every time I see him he remains to play constant. I think Awaka is deserves to be in the conversation to be in the national rankings for his class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470818"],"_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":2738699,"_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-678dc8b7e64e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vick was an offensive catalyst for Tilton (NH) with his ability to score in bunches. He played with a calm demeanor and doesn't seem to get fazed by the moment. He had seven three pointers and scored them in different ways. Vick was resilient as a paint toucher and navigates well to spots with the ball in his hands. Vick exploded for 37 points in a OT win over Cheshire Academy (CT). The future is bright for the young prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470887"],"_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":2738702,"_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-678dc8b7e6538"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Erickson added a spark in different ways throughout his teams win over Mt. Zion Prep (MD). He has a good blend of size and length. He did a good job getting in the mix and trying to staying involved in the game. He was able to show that he could make plays for others with his passing. He finished above the rim and chipped in 8 points. . He was efficient with his offensive output. Erickson also got to the foul line. He is an underclassmen name to know in the region and his best basketball is ahead of him. </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":"Triston McDonald","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"TSF","_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-678dc8b7e65ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McDonald impressed with his ability to hunt scoring opportunities. He was a mainstay getting to different spots downhill. He kept his TSF team in the game. He had a team high 32 points. McDonald flashed with his ability to make plays for others and had 4 assists. He had five 3 pointers and showed he can be a threat from deep. McDonald needs to be on the radar of division one college coaches who are need of a volume scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

These were a handful of underclassmen who caught my attention at the Hoop Hall Prep Classic in Springfield (MA).
