When I watched him play this season, I noticed that he plays with determination and an edge. He will go right at his guy on offense, and can pay defenders pay if they overplay him. His best game of the year was against Somerset Sky Pointe, where he nearly put up a quadruple-double with 33 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2024-2025 Season Stats - 9.9 PPG, 3 RPG, 3.2 APG, 3 SPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2812150"],"_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-67d8d00e7511b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Snowdon Bear Williams was a guy who caught my attention during the 3A semifinals. He was fast to grab rebounds and proved to be a good defender. Williams can find ways to score on offense as well and has a reliable jumper in his bag. If he continues to develop, I'm sure he and Spring Creek will be back in the playoffs next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024-2025 Season Stats - 7.6 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.4 APG, 1.4 SPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2813433"],"_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-67d8d00e75163"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2813433' first='Damien' last='Glover'] is a versatile guard who knows where to be on the court in order to make plays. On offense, he can burn his defender and dish it off to an open teammate or knock down a shot. I'm also a fan of the way he competes on defense, he plays with some grit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2694452"],"_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-67d8d00e751a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haneef Bahar is a crafty and deceptive scorer who can get downhill in the blink of an eye. He is explosive with his movements, which allow him to get the separation needed to get his shots off. Bahar also has an impressive finishing package and can get to the line. On defense, he will pick his opponents pocket if they aren't careful. Since Silverado has some seniors graduating, look for him to be on Varsity next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2813455"],"_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-67d8d00e751eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2813455' first='Daelen' last='Gries'] was on Bishop Gorman's JV team this past season. He is a sniper from downtown and can hit shots that are a few feet beyond the arc. To go with his outside shooting, Gries also some touch and is capable of draining floaters. As a defender, he uses his speed and agility to jump into passing lanes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
