Dill (multiple DI offers) was electric off the bounce as he used his deep bag of change of pace / direction moves to get into the paint for runners, floaters and lay-ins. Dill also slammed on the breaks in the mid-range and then popped jumpers. His 3-point stroke was clicking too as he canned 4 triples. Dill (24 points) went coast-to-coast for several buckets too. His Euro-step finishes were impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2485359"],"_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-67f2acce3ceca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2024-25 was an incredible freshman season for Hiller who was a starter at Coatesville and frequently posted 20-point games. On Friday night at the Donofrio Classic, Hiller showed no signs of letting up as he posted 26 points. Hiller torched the nets at the Fellowship House from deep. His height and long arms enabled him to shoot jumpers over defenders as well as double teams. Hiller's quick release made him difficult to guard too. On several possessions, Hiller also displayed the ability to operate on the baseline or the dunker spot and then flush on an opponent's head.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2247394"],"_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-67f2acce3cf5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">MacAdams is well known as one of the top three-point shooter in the region. That skill set was on full display this past week in Donofrio action as MacAdams laced 5 triples on his way to 25 points. A couple of those threes were hit from logo distance. Still, what really impressed us about MacAdams was his ability to push his way past defenders off the dribble. MacAdams was able to use his physicality on a few straight-line drives to get to the rim. Once he was in close, MacAdams proved he could convert through contact with either hand. His court vision and passing skills produced a few nice dimes too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2400237"],"_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-67f2acce3cfa7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pereira posed a monster junior season that will make him one of the biggest stock risers in our upcoming Class of 2026 rankings update. Pereira's polished small forward skills were on display again at the Donofrio Classic as he notched 18 points and grabbed 11 boards. Pereira scored on the interior repeatedly via drop steps, dives to the cup and put backs on the offensive glass. He also flashed a nice face up jumper. Plus, Pereira flashed the speed to run the floor for buckets on the secondary break. On defense, Pereira is an intimidation shot blocker and dominates the boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
