He has a multi-dimensional game and with size as a guard that can handle the ball and play off the ball as a slasher and shooter he is a playe rthat will get next level looks. Currently he is projecting as a NJCAA player or a D2 typr prospect. He still has room to improve his game but as a player that does it all he is a must know talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2148482"],"_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-680e5dfe4905b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simmons should get a shot to shine some more this coming high school season as one of the best returners down south on any school. He has size, mobility and the footwork continues to improve. Simmons is a 4 man and could be a plug and play kid at a small school looking for a player that can run the floor. Simmons is a must know talent that is set to have a big year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278437"],"_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-680e5dfe490d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mortensen is a must know athlete that can turn into a monster at the next level. He has the pedigree to turn things up at the collegiate level with his length and versatile play. Mortensen is one of those two way stat stuffing guards with length and he has been a late bloomer, so do not be surprised if he gets an inch or two before he sets foot on a college campus. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1438933"],"_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-680e5dfe4916d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peek is anothe rlate blooming type of prospect that is bigger that you think. He can defend different positions which llows him to stay on the floor longer and he also finds ways to impact the game when he is not scoring. Peek is a good catch and shoot perimeter scorer but his movement on offense and defense allows him to get rebounds and he can also space the floor. He is a must know D2/NAIA type of prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1960164"],"_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-680e5dfe491e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hinckley is a strong power guard that can straight-line drive to the rim with a quick first step and he has different levels to his driving keep ing the ball up at times and keeping the ball low other times. Hinckley finishes through contact very well. Really like him as an off the radr kid that could find a small school looking for a gem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
