He attacks the rim like a man on a mission and that mission is to wreck the rim and anyone who is in the way. He is not only explosive off the bounce he is very quick off of that first step. He has next level jumping ability and if there is a school looking for an athlete that get's downhill as a lead guard this kid is a kid you might want to look at. He is ideal for a small school lookin for players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2721988"],"_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-677d4028c6ed0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is smooth. He has a very fluid jumper, he has athleticism at his position. Pickett is able to defend and help as he displays solid footwork. Impressive mechanics on his inside jumper as well as his outside jumper. He works well off of his pivot attacks as well. I could see a kid like him making roster at a D3. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2721990"],"_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-677d4028c6f16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barnes is an off the radar talent that can really score. Barnes is a high motor attacking guard that could easily be averaging 20 plus points a game. He not only scores the ball as he has surpassed the 1,200 point mark but he is a great passer and he rebounds like crazy. one of the better small school stat stuffers you will see. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2721993"],"_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-677d4028c6f56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Park is a player that has good positional size and he is zeroing in on 1,000 points. He is averaging about 26 PPG in his last 3 and has almost surpassed his scoring total from last season already with 10 plus games to go. Park is a dual sport athlete and you can see that athleticism in the way he moves out there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2722002"],"_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-677d4028c6f93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner is one of many top scorers that have come out of Providence Hall. He is playing well and even dropped a 30+ point output in his last outing. He gets to his spots when he has the ball and and off the ball he makes solid cuts and that movement gets him open a lot. Another solid next level type of player that could be looking at NWAC or D3 schools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
