steps up in big games.  He did just that in this one.  Crafty shooting guard that is a good ball handler with an adept finishing game around the cup.  Sweeping layups, and-1s, scoop shots, and more.  Also was impressed with his passing feel in the half court that is something he has continued to make strides in as the year has gone along.  Went for 9 in the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woo is the heart and soul of this team.  He brings it on both ends of the floor.  His defense was outstanding in this contest holding down Kaneland's star perimeter scorer.  Woo was all over him staying in front of him moving his feet, not giving him room to work, and being aggressive.  It was a masterclass in defense.  On the other end he is a slick ball handler that has the ability to score from all three levels with his long ball, pull ups in the mid-range, and acrobatic finishes at the cup.  He ended this game with 14 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kvamme came alive in the third quarter to get his scoring in this game.  The Western Illinois commit is the leader of this team.  He has big game experience and it shows.  Never plays in a hurry always at his pace.  Crisp passer that runs his team.  Creative scorer around the rim on layups, runners, and getting fouled as he had 9 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walls is the glue guy among the guards for DePaul Prep.  He does all the little things well.  Tough perimeter defender and good passer.  He hit a three, got to the line, and got a steal for a baseline jumper to close the third quarter.  Finished with 7 points.</p> <!--

on commit was very effective as a rebounder and post defender.  High pointed rebounds in traffic along with playing big on the interior making it tough to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

left handed four that has had a very good season.  Like the combination of power, athleticism, and skill that he plays with.  Scores in the paint from the mid-post off the bounce, left handed hook shots, gets on the offensive glass for put backs, and seals well on the block. Very good rebounder that snatches them in traffic.  Good post defender that brings toughness.  He had 10 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2505371"],"_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-67cf80ea3d7da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Donohue is a plus three point shooter who has good length.  Caught our eye over the summer and we said then he could be an x-factor as a long range bomber which is what he does for the Rams as he made three triples for 9 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391706"],"_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-67cf80ea3d838"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hassan is a power forward that had a monster senior campaign.  Will definitely see a significant bump in the final rankings update.  He brings face up skill being able to hit a spot up three.  Solid rebounder.  Gets to the foul line and had a big dunk for 12 points.  Small colleges and JUCO's should be on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391672"],"_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-67cf80ea3d882"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hassan is a top 10 sophomore in the 2027 Illinois class.  Lanky five man that brings plus athleticism to the table up front.  Struggled on the defensive end in this one which is usually his strength, but flashed offensively including a slick euro step for a dunk along with another flush out of the dunker spot for 6 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
