He was grabbing offensive rebounds, attacking the basket, and knocking down shots. On defense, he positioned himself well and had one big block in the second half. His stellar play also led to him being named one of the MVP's of the tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 12 Points, 1 Block</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374347"],"_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-67eaccd64c1b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2374347' first='Aaron' last='McMorran II'] facilitated open looks for his teammates early on. Then in the second half, he found his rhythm scoring and dropped in a 3, a floater, and a few other shots. McMorran II pitched in on defense too by collecting a steal. If he and McKinney continue to play together the rest of AAU circuit, watch out. As they already have some great chemistry going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 10 Points, 4 Assists, 1 Steal </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tournament MVP</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450360"],"_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-67eaccd64c231"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2450360' first='Noah' last='Grossman'] is also a member of Vegas Elite's 15U EYBL team with McKinney III and McMorran II. On Sunday, he was flying around on defense and did a solid job of covering some of ABC Spotlight's guards. Grossman contributed on offense as well. He drained two triples and also almost threw down a dunk, but got fouled. However he did land a few dunks on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 8 Points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1665140"],"_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-67eaccd64c2b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1665140' first='Zacarrion' last='Jackson'] did his best to get the 17U Vegas Elite National team back in the game against the Salt Lake Rebels. He was getting downhill with the rock and made tough finishes as he was falling to the ground. His assertive play also earned him trips to the free throw line. I was also a fan of how aggressive Jackson was on defense. He had a couple of sneaky steals and didn't give his opponents much breathing room. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2026076"],"_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-67eaccd64c314"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brandon Mason Jr. made some clever moves to the basket, and also shot right over the top of defenders. on Sunday. He has utilizes good footwork and timing to get his shots off. I also noticed that he is very efficient with his movements, which is likely why opponents have so much trouble guarding him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
