<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of the prospects who impressed on Friday night during Haverford School's 70-64 overtime win over SCH Academy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Springside Chestnut Hill Academy</u>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1888864"],"_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-679faeed18d4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This lefty with a 3-level scoring skill set continued his breakout season against the Fords. Kelly (16 ppg.) popped 2 threes as well as several mind-range jumpers on his way to 14 points. Kelly's high IQ and creative play making skills enabled him to get into the lane frequently. Those attacks on the rim often drew a whistle, after which Kelly calmly knocked down his free throws.</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":"Jules Sanders","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"SCH Academy ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Next Play","_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-679faeed18e07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Currently Sanders (10 pts.; 1 3PM) is a “glue guy” for this SCH lineup, but his upside is tremendous. He is a quick two-way guard with versatility and an intriguing scoring touch. His ability to create off the dribble for himself and teammates was fantastic. On defense, he was a menacing on-ball presence and high IQ team defender. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2237263"],"_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-679faeed18e57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Waters is quietly having an impressive senior season and it is time college coaches stopped sleeping on him. On Friday his athleticism, speed and high IQ were on full display as he scored repeatedly in transition and off the dribble in the half-court. Waters also displayed his highly accurate three-point stroke as he drained 2 triples on his way to 16 points. One of those made triples was the game tying three with five seconds remaining in regulation that sent this contest to OT. His rebounding and defense were also key to SCHA's efforts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1865290"],"_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-679faeed18e99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The last time these two teams faced each other, this lefty bucket getter dropped 33 points (5 3PM) in a SCHA win. Friday night, the Fords were determined not to let that happen again and thus threw extra defensive attention at Williams every time he touched the rock. Williams still managed to score at all 3-levels as well as in transition. But this time he posted just 15 points (1 three). Williams is a complete guard prospect and East Stroudsburg (D2) landed a gem in him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Haverford School</u>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406894"],"_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-679faeed18ed7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Butts has posted a handful of impressive scoring outburst this season including 23 points in OT win against Episcopal Academy. But on Friday night with [player_tooltip player_id='1454260' first='Silas' last='Graham'] cooking (see below), Butts did the dirty work that helped secure the win for Haverford. This agile wing prospect filled a lane on the fast break and then finish through contact. He also produced points on dives to the cup. Butts (8 pts.) grabbed rebounds at both ends (6 unofficially) and blocked a couple of shots too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1867326"],"_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-679faeed18f13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For some reason, Carson was the 6^th man in this contest against SCHA. But it did not seem to bother him as he provided an instant scoring punch (13 points; 3 3PM) off the bench. In addition to displaying an accurate 3-point stroke, Carson proved he is a quick guard with creative handles. Those assets allowed Carson to push the rock in transition for scores and assists. They also got Carson paint touches in the half-court. Friday night Carson proved again that he poised prospect who can play both guard spots and is a plus defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1867332"],"_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-679faeed18f4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cloran is an athletic, high IQ and multi-skilled guard who contributed 8 points and 6 rebounds (unofficially) to this win. Cloran's jumper was clicking from deep as he splashed 2 threes in this game. He also worked as a dependable primary ball handler at time and distributed to teammates. Still, what jumped out about Cloran in this game was his rim protection. He surprisingly denied a number of SCHA shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406771"],"_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-679faeed18f89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gamble is an intriguing “3 &amp; D” wing prospect who recently posted 17 points (4 threes) against Perkiomen School. On Friday against SCHA, he splashed one triple on his way to 9 points. In addition to his accurate long-range shooting, Gamble was a tenacious offensive rebounder who then converted through contact. He also used his speed to run the floor for a couple fast break buckets.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1454260"],"_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-679faeed18fc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On Friday night it was clear from the opening quarter that Graham (15 ppg. in 2024-25) was going to have a monster game. The No. 5 ranked 2027 prospect in Pennsylvania impacted every facet of this contest. On offense he scored at every level on his way to 26 points. Included in that 26-point effort were 5 made threes and several impressive drives to the cup. His patience and crafty dribble moves made Graham unstoppable off the bounce. Additionally, Graham grabbed 11 rebounds (unofficially) and handed out 5 assists (unofficially). For a sophomore, Graham is an extraordinarily well-rounded prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
