He is comfortable drilling spot treys, triples coming off screen action and transition threes. Bailey's logo distance range, quick release and constant off ball movement make him difficult to defend. Bailey's impressive physical assets and smooth finishing skills enable him to excel on the fast break too. Recently Bailey splashed 4 threes on his way to 23 points against Covenant College Prep. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2447918"],"_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-677c812579f51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>43 to 31…</em></strong>The move from Lower Merion to O'Hara is paying early dividends for Brown. His offensive skill set has expanded and become more polished. Plus, he is receiving significant varsity minutes for the Lions. Brown's finishing skills (transition and half-court) have shown drastic improvement. His footwork is much smoother this season. Thus Brown has become a more effective interior scorer. Still, the biggest development Brown's game is his refined jump shot that now boasts 3-point range. On defense Brown is a tremendous rim protector and cleans the glass. Brown opened the season with a double double of 12 points and 12 rebounds against Abington Heights. Since then, Brown has posted several games of 14 or more points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1941211"],"_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-677c812579fb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>81 to 72…</em></strong>Blackwell is a highly accurate long-range shooter who has spaced the floor for Friends Central's host of dribble drive wizards. He is a tremendous spot up shooter and is especially lethal on threes point attempts from the wing. Blackwell can also pop triples coming out of DHO action and pin downs. Once he has established his 3-point shot, Blackwell can use a head / ball fake and then a side dribble to find open space behind the arc. Or he can follow that same head / ball fake with a dribble drive to the rim. Blackwell has already posted multiple games the season of 2+ made threes. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2420129"],"_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-677d96c0d15f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>NR to 97…</em></strong>This former Odessa HS (DE) player has cracked the rotation on a deep NG squad thanks to his defense and rebounding. His long wingspan, quick lateral movements and hops help him to succeed in both of those departments. So far this season, his offensive touches have been limited. But Van Noden can dive to the cup for lay-ins or post up and then finish over either shoulder. He can also operate as the big man in pick-n-roll action. Plus, Van Noden can attack the offensive glass for second chance points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
