He is knockdown shooter from all over the floor moving without most times to get wide open looks on the perimeter. When he is creating for himself, he has some moves that allows him to get good looks on offense. One of the moves he made against TXP 15U Saturday was a step back jumper that resulted in a made three. Also, when handling the ball Rawston's playmaking was very straightforward making the right passes to set his teammates up for success!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2808009"],"_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":2827375,"_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-67eb27a80672a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maurice Perkins was arguably the best on ball defender in the 15U division during the Spurs City Shootout. On that side of the floor, he moves his feet very well playing great defense on opposing ball handlers making many turn the ball over and is everywhere getting his hands in passing lanes making great reads. Offensively Maurice is a slasher with and without the ball that likes to attack the basket on most of his scoring opportunities. While also being a slasher Maurice can step out on the perimeter and shoot from range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2823230"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb27a806773"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2823230' first='Aiden' last='Rios'] was a key contributor for Gold Mamba in their game against Kingdom Hoops 15U Sunday. In this game Aiden was a very aggressive rebounder on both ends of the floor securing defensive possessions and giving his team second chance opportunities on offense. Defensively he did really well with his rim protection by contesting many shots that came into the paint and blocked many shots. Offensively Aiden gets majority of his points in the paint getting open without the ball and off putbacks that he gets off of offensive rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2813633"],"_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":2827383,"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb27a8067c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2813633' first='Finn' last='Riddle'] was on a huge offensive run of his own in the 1st half against the Gold Mambas to gain the lead for his team. He is a three-level scorer that pulls from mid-range, scores in transition and hits perimeter shots. When driving to the rim he draws a lot of contact from his aggressive play style which got him to the free throw line multiple times. When making plays for others he is a very good playmaker especially when driving to the basket dishing it to teammates in the paint. Defensively he got plenty of deflections and steals with his intense anticipation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2817591"],"_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":2827386,"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb27a806817"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2817591' first='Omari' last='Nious'] is a big presence in paint holding it down on both defense and offense for his L2H [program_tooltip program_id='2075942' first='Texas' last='Tigers'] squad. Offensively he showed that he has a versatile play style being able to handle the ball down the court off a rebound. Omari gets majority of this scoring opportunities in the paint as he has good touch around the basket. Defensively he is extremely mobile on the perimeter being able to defend opposing players out there. Also, Omari plays good defense in the paint with his ability to protect the rim!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
