He set solid screens, rolling hard and is able to pop smoothly to hit shots. Nasinec stays aggressive down low, showing off his physical play-style when going for boards. He showed up huge during the state tournament, playing efficiently and being someone they could rely on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685496"],"_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-67ddeeff0b727"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jerome has a huge season this year for Lummi, leading them back to a state championship victory. He was named the state tournament MVP and even the 1B boys player of the year in the state. He is a quick guard who attacks well with both hands and provides a high knowledge of the game while on the court. He can shoot the ball well from anywhere but thrives in the mid-range where he can find his spots and elevate over defenders to get the shot off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2622811"],"_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-67ddeeff0b773"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaleb is a 6'5" wing who can score from all 3 levels. His mid-range game has improved a tremendous amount over the year, as he has shown he can get his shot off and in a variety of ways. His deep shot is efficient too and is best when getting it off via catch and shoot. DeHaan's long arms help him cause turnovers and easy buckets for him or his teammates. He was named the 4A KingCo Mountain League MVP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611575"],"_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-67ddeeff0b7d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Juleon played a great season all year long, showing consistency and improvement. He is an athletic guard who has great agility and athleticism. His quick first step allows him to beat defenders to the rim and his athleticism helps him finish through the contact. Horyst is also a fantastic three point shooter, able to let it fly from anywhere and make it at a high rate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
