Freshman Guards To Keep An Eye On In May

He is shifty when he has the rock in his hands, and he uses creative ball-handling maneuvers to get to where he wants to go. Sims can also fill it up from beyond the arc, and displays a solid shooting stroke. On defense, Sims is sneaky and he will pick his opponents pocket if they aren't careful.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing for Prominent Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374256"],"_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-6812b88eb1b55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2374256' first='Clark' last='Elliott'] has already drawn some attention this spring playing for Prominent Elite. The Coronado guard lit it up out in California during the first session of NXT PRO and dropped 31 points. He is an absolute marksmen from downtown and he knocks down jumpers too. Elliott is also a strong passer, and can thread the needle to his forwards in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2618949"],"_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-6812b88eb1b0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I fully expect [player_tooltip player_id='2618949' first='Yasin' last='Musa'] to turn some heads during the AAU season. He is an incredibly bouncey guard that knows how to rise above defenders and lay it up or throw it down. Musa also has a quality jump shot in his bag. In addition to his offensive skillset, the lengthy freshman comes up with blocks and deflections on a regular basis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing for the LV Knicks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2477816"],"_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-6812b88eb1b94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2477816' first='Brennen' last='Cuello'] is suiting up for Future Elite this spring and summer. The high IQ guard has good court vision, and can make plays for his teammates. I also like the pace that he plays with, as he keeps defenders guessing and on their heels. When it comes to Cuello's defense, he stays in front of his man with his lateral quickness and he can push transition if he collects a steal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2634164"],"_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-6812b88eb1c00"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2634164' first='Jayden' last='Howard'] will be playing for PFB this spring and summer. The crafty guard likes to get downhill and often makes tough finishes around the rim. Howard makes shots from the perimeter as well, and it can be pick your poison when guarding him. I'm also a fan of how he draws contact and gets to the line. On the other end of the court he plays with intensity and can swat shots if he times it right. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
