<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is Part II in our review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who impressed on nights 1 and 2 of the 2025 Donofrio Classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874206"],"_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-67ee764186c74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On Devon Prep's road to the 4A state title, Craft averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds per night. Thus his 27-point outburst in the up-tempo action at the Donofrio Classic was not surprising. Craft is a hybrid-forward prospect who can score at all three levels in the half-court and run the floor as a lane filling wing for transition buckets. His length, agility and quickness enabled Craft to grab offensive rebounds and then convert through fouls. Craft is committed to Swarthmore and there is no doubt the Phoenix landed an impact prospect.   <strong> </strong>  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2047682"],"_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-67ee764186cdc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rines is one of the top available 2025 stretch-4 prospects in SEPA and he proved that again during the 1^st Round of the Donofrio Classic. Rines (15 pts.) splashed 3 triples, crashed the offensive glass for put backs and scored from the elbows off one or two dribbles. He used his sneaky slick handles to create off the bounce too. When the opposing team attempted to double Rines, he was quick to recognize it and then deliver a creative pass to an open teammate. Rines did excellent work on the defensive glass as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613878"],"_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-67ee764186d25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am not sure if Smith is still angry aboutImhotep's semifinal loss in the 6A state tournament or if he was just in the zone for his opener at the Donofrio. Whichever the case, on Tuesday night, Smith was played like a man possessed. This dynamic guard scored in every way imaginable but was especially unstoppable when producing points off the dribble. His ability to hit floaters, pull ups or spinning fade-aways was jaw dropping. Smith also showcased the ability to rapidly go coast to coast for a lay-in or to drop a dime on a teammate. After his runs at the Donofrio conclude, we expect that Smith will absolutely destroy the competition on the grassroots circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2833866' first='Chanse' last='Salone'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Souderton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Uptown Basketball ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ee764186dc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After his impressive junior season at Souderton, Salone was named as a 1^st Team All-SOL selection. Salone's stellar play continued during the opening night of the Donofrio Classic as he went off for 24 points. Salone used his tight handles and quick burst to get to the cup repeatedly for lay-ins. When the help defense cut him off, Salone unleashed a runner, dropped passes to the dunker spot and kicked out to open shooters. Plus, Salone displayed a smooth jump shot with 3-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
