He became an excellent second option along side All-State guard [player_tooltip player_id='2544885' first='Carter' last='Whitley']. He has good quickness and ball handling ability and he could really shoot it from deep. He shot 39 percent from 3-point range while making 75 triples.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2836914"],"_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-6803f91864418"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 6'3" guard who has been pouring in buckets in South St Louis for the first two years of his varsity career. The young lefty can score around the basket with crafty moves in the lane and he can also line it up from 3-point range. As a sophomore, he averaged 19 points, six rebounds and nearly four assists a game. He is playing with the [program_tooltip program_id='2075283' first='Arsenal' last='Hoops'] 16Us during the grassroots season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2701076"],"_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-6803fa5d97ab7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Mid-Buch program has produced a number of standout players over the years and this slender 6'2" guard appears to be the next in line. He is very skilled in the three big offensive phases, which is scoring, ball handling and passing. The game slows down for him very well for a young player as he can see the court and deliver pinpoint passes. He can also score on the drive or shoot it off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2839177"],"_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-6803fbdfc5ecc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 6'3" guard who was one of the more impressive young perimeter shooters in the SWMO area. He has a nice, confident stroke from 3-point range as he does a nice job of moving and doing his work before the catch so he's shot ready. He is also a solid athlete who has the length and instincts to impact the game on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
