He attacked the basket on numerous occasions and made some nice lay-ups. Roberts also drew contact on his drives, and he hit 4 free throws over the course of the game. In addition to his scoring, Roberts was dishing the ball to his teammates for open looks and playing hard nose defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 17 Points, 2 Assists, 1 3PM</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1492605"],"_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-67fd967463a5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1492605' first='Rylan' last='Hearns'] got going early and knocked down three shots from downtown in the first half. He was also active around the rim and had a tip-in and a few rebounds. Then in the second half, Hearns had a late steal and rebound in the last minute to help Prominent Elite secure the win. All in all, I liked how he played.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 15 Points, 1 Assist </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2356155"],"_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-67fd967463aa0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2356155' first='Sheldon' last='Jacobson'] caught my eye with his play on defense on Saturday. He used his elite anticipation skills to come up with both steals and blocks for the Reno Ballers. Jacobson also had a few contributions on offense. He was able to get to the line, and drained a 3 as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 7 Points, 2 Steals, 2 Blocks, 1 Assist </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2086275"],"_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-67fd967463ae0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elijah Albertson was sharp on offense for Team Utah against the Reno Ballers. He was constantly on the move around the perimeter, and buried three triples. Albertson also confidently splashed in a mid-range jumper. On the defensive end, he was hustling and making life difficult for his opponents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 11 Points, 3 3PM</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":"Maleuth Mabior ","_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":"7'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Team Utah ","_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-67fd967463b75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maleuth Mabior towered over everyone and collected a decent amount of boards for his squad. He also clogged up the paint on defense, which forced the Reno Ballers to take some difficult shots. On offense, Mabior chipped in 4 points. Hopefully he can continue to develop his post moves this season, as you can tell that he has a great deal of potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1960136"],"_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-67fd967463bbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Javier Aguierre utilizes his frame and creativity to get his shot off against taller players in the paint. He also made some baskets from the outside and had some nice assists. On defense, he stifled his opponents with his length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
