He was one of Democracy Prep's more reliable players this season, and he was valuable on both ends of the court for them. On offense, he had a couple of games where he found his rhythm and got downhill consistently (ie the Mojave game when he had 20 points). On defense, he usually had to cover the opposing team's taller forwards. Although they had the size advantage, Parker still caused turnovers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024-2025 Season Stats - 10.6 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 1.5 APG, 1.4 SPG, .8 BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2447899"],"_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-67dc4a3f3ce5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous rank #71</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2447899' first='Alex' last='Hutchison'] goes from being in the 70's, to 29th. He is a strong player on offense, and has a variety of moves that he can use to slip by his defender. His height also comes to his advantage when it comes to scoring in the paint and grabbing rebounds. Unfortunately he had to miss some time this season due to injury, but he was still able to post some impressive stat lines. Including two 14 points performances at the beginning of the season against Cheyenne and Basic Academy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024-2025 Season Stats - 8.6 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 2.8 APG, 1.5 SPG, .9 BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2318705"],"_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-67dc4a3f3cedc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous rank #39</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2318705' first='Greg' last='Ward'] now sits in the #37 slot in the rankings. He utilizes change of direction to create separation on offense. Once he has some space to work with, he can then pull up and hit jumpers. Or he can get downhill and make a lay-up. Ward also has the ability to hang in air, which allows him to make tough finishes and draw fouls. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471021"],"_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-67dc4a3f3cf59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous rank #75</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacory Boyce can hit the gas pedal to accelerate past his guy on offense, and from there he usually find a ways to score. Boyce also keeps his eyes up as he drives, and he dishes it to his teammates for open shots.
