His final circuit session with MD 1Life1Shot saw him average over 30 points a game. Amonte is unique due to his ability to score the ball as well as distribute at a very high level. His role will surely increase next season as he will likely be the starting point guard entering the 2025-26 season. I believe this summer will be Amonte's strongest due to his added experience and IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782669"],"_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-67fabf7e3aef5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden is one of my biggest names to keep an eye on this summer. He has a deep scoring bag and gets busy against any opponent he faces. His enate ability to score the ball on all three levels should be on full display for coaches and scouts across the area. Yates plays with the aggression needed to put up the big scoring numbers he's accustomed to. This final summer session with [program_tooltip program_id='2076999' first='Team' last='Melo'] should help Yates' recruitment in a big way. I'd like to see a bit more combo guard-play from Jayden, since we've seen the numbers he can put up scoring the basketball. His next step this summer will be shaping up other parts of his game, which I'm sure will continue to happen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588138"],"_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-67fabf7e3af3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Greg has improved his game tremendously, catching the eye of our scouts during the regular season with Pallotti. He showed flashes of being the lead player on a successful team, so I am ready to see how this has prepared him for a busy summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']. Greg will likely have his best shot at showing his body of work this AAU season on Thrill's top roster. He is quite the athlete as he can play a bit at both guard spots and defend multi[le positions effectively. Greg makes up for his height disadvantage with pure aggression and fearlessness on the court. He takes the ball to the rack with authority and remains confident all game long through ups and downs. Big opportunity here for Greg Taylor to showcase the progression in his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2552618"],"_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-67fabf7e3af7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dhruv is another player I will be watching closely this summer and into the new season. His natural guard skills are intriguing to watch, and with New World he will see plenty of opportunity on the floor. Iyer is an effective floor general and makes countless plays for his offense whether scoring or passing the ball. Dhruv is at his best penetration the lane and causing the defense to shift and open up lanes. His feel for the game makes me confident that as his role increases, his production will follow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353588"],"_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-67fabf7e3afb7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnsen is an exciting and hungry guard making some noise from out of Montgomery County. He had some nice performances in the summer last year for [program_tooltip program_id='2450576' first='Team' last='Museum'] and is looking to pick up where he left off this summer. Kennedy is looking to make a big splash by showcasing his offensive and defensive tenacity. With [program_tooltip program_id='2450576' first='Team' last='Museum'] Johnson relies more on his scoring and playmaking ability. He still plays with the same tenacity on both sides which will be a key in catching the right eyes the offseason. He's got the skillset to garner attention as well, and Johnsen will use his second year of High School experience to further progress his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2705135"],"_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-67fabf7e3aff1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan looks to follow his stellar freshmen season with a big-time summer with New World. He averaged over 20 points a game with Avalon School over the regular season. Fox will bring his scoring prowess to the circuit this summer and the scouts will take notice. He can knock down open shots all game, but has handle and raw strength that helps him finish at the rim with either hand. [player_tooltip player_id='2705135' first='Jordan' last='Fox'] is a name that I expect to see time and time again this offseason thanks to his big-time talent, which has yet to reach it's peak.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
