With the ball in his hands, he gets teammates involved often when he doesn't have scoring opportunities himself. When playmaking his passes resulted in multiple made shots from his teammates especially in his game against [program_tooltip program_id='2478808' first='B3' last='Elite'] 15U. When he did have opportunities to score, he took very smart shots getting into the lane against [program_tooltip program_id='2478808' first='B3' last='Elite']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2820054"],"_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":2827515,"_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-67eb53947570f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2820054' first='Elijah' last='Caranto']&nbsp;was the reason his team won against [program_tooltip program_id='2478808' first='B3' last='Elite'] on Sunday as he made big layups in the paint late in the second half. During these big layups he was able to get to the rim with his quick first step which allowed him to drive inside the paint when he wanted. The fact Elijah showed that he can make plays when it matters most is impressive especially when he adds more to his game offensively. The coaching staff told me Elijah and [player_tooltip player_id='2817866' first='Cayden' last='Lin'] go to school in my area so I will be looking forward to seeing them play this upcoming fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2822590"],"_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":2827517,"_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-67eb539475766"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2822590' first='Sebastian' last='Martinez'] was on the boards the entire game providing high level production in that stat category against Runovo Basketball 15U. Defensively Sebastian's rim protection was on display the whole weekend as I saw him contest many shots throughout the weekend. Offensively he made shots in the paint using his size to create space between him and defenders. When he got the ball on the perimeter, he showed the ability to stretch the floor shooting from that range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2816856"],"_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-67eb5394757ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2816856' first='Horacio' last='Leal'] shot the lights out from the perimeter in the first half against Follow Through 15U to keep his team competitive.

Horacio has a nice shot form from the perimeter as he can be very efficient from the perimeter in the right sets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2817428"],"_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":2827519,"_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-67eb539475803"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What impressed me about [player_tooltip player_id='2817428' first='Elechai' last='Thompson']'s game was his energy on both sides of the floor. Offensively he really exceled in the paint having a good touch around the rim and drawing a lot of contact while doing so. During his game Saturday against the L2H [program_tooltip program_id='2075942' first='Texas' last='Tigers'] he recorded 10 points really showing his offensive talents. Defensively he did a good job contesting shots in the paint and blocking shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
