<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These were a few prospects who continue to enhance their stock with their play at the Hoop Group Indiana Jam Fest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2476493"],"_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-680f9f2471387"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mehendale impressed with his versatility on both ends of the floor. He is a magnet for rebounds on the defensive end with great timing on when to shag them. He does a good job running the floor. He scored around the bucket and shows flashes as a floor spacer. Mehendale is an elite shot blocker who uses his long talons to alter shots with ease. He continues to get better with time and look forward to watching the progress. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561080"],"_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-680f9f24713de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hayes is a dynamic playmaker who was on the verge of making things happen any time he had the ball in his possession. He is a speed demon who wills his way to different spots on the floor. He is at his best in transition when the defense cannot adjust to his elusiveness on the fly. Hayes does a good job using his angles when on the attack. He has a high basketball IQ. Hayes had great explosion when going up for scoring chances. He also was a threat from behind the arc. I like how pesky he was on the defensive end and found ways to turn defense to offense. He should be a priority for low and mid major division one programs in need of 2-way guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1188638"],"_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-680f9f2471427"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mayo continued to showcase his ability to score the basketball in different ways. He uses his brute strength to bully his way to paint touches. He was also able to score from behind the arc. He put himself into good spots on the floor to get rebounds. Mayo gets himself into positions to get his way to the foul line. I would like to see Mayo work on his volume on the offensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2371442"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2849811,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-680f9f2471486"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hershberger has good positional size at the lead guard spot. He does a good job of hunting for his own shot. If Hershberger's feet are set there is a high chance he is converting from deep. He continuously connected on scoring chances from a plethora of different spots. Hershberger converted on several chances from behind the arc. He was able to collect steals and rebounds on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2849798"],"_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-680f9f24714d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bauman does a little bit of everything throughout the game. He is a viable plug and play option at the guard spot. Bauman did a nice job finding teammates for scoring chances of their own with his passing. He also found scoring chances off his own. His squirreliness allows him to wiggle to different spots on the attack. He also got to the foul line. Bauman also found ways to rebound. He plays with an assertive motor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552445"],"_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-680f9f2471518"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barnes is a prospect who is the epitome of being flexible in his role. He hits shots from behind the arc in the flow of the game. He has a smooth stroke with a green light release. He can make plays for others His blend of length and size allow him to congest driving and passing lanes. Barnes showcases his athleticism by crashing the glass for 2nd chance efforts. He is a prospect who should be on D1 radars. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2849852"],"_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-680f9f247155b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rottman impressed with his offensive dexterity he did a little bit of everything with his play. He found ways to get downhill and get paint touches. He made several trips to the foul lie. He thinks the game at a high level and doesn't let the ball sticks to his hands. Rottman found ways to stay involved on the defensive side of the ball. He was in good spots to collect rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

These were a few prospects who continue to enhance their stock with their play at the Hoop Group Indiana Jam Fest.
