Chapman is an undersized 5 who plays like a true post. He loves to bang in the paint. If he gets a finger on the ball coming off the glass, he is likely to come down with the rock. Charles gives his squad 2nd chance possession with his O-boards. He helps keep games close and extend the lead when Breakers are up. He is another player who gets on the floor for loose balls and will sacrifice his body for extra possessions. Chapman is a super game-changer for the Breakers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2870948"],"_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-68351eea1fc69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Basic does great work in his role on the court, largely because of how smart he is. Edin handles pressure with ease and executes his defensive assignments flawlessly. Basic showed that he can get hot from 3 and it happens in a heartbeat. He is 100% the leader of the team. Edin never gets too high or too low. Basic is a quick, clear, and accurate decision maker. He almost always makes the right play at the right time. Basic makes impressive passes in traffic, but will also make the easy pass. He is an unselfish leader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2858818"],"_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-683503467cd92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is long and athletic with a nose for the ball.

Chase is a 2-guard who always asks to guard the opposing team's best player each team he is on the court. Isaac rebounds the ball very well and hoops with a high IQ. His defensive aggression changes the game for the Breakers. He averages 2-3 blocks per game along with multiple steals/deflections. He leaves skin on the court from diving and sliding for loose balls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2417806"],"_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-6835c56400316"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He does all the little things that help win games. Logan plays tough defense and is typically tasked with guarding the opposing team's best player, he is solid in that role. Jack hits the glass hard, values the ball, and always makes the smart extra pass. If you don't see Jack diving on the floor or knocking down clutch shots, he is encouraging teammates. He is a true difference-maker who puts the team first while making winning plays. Every program needs a player like [player_tooltip player_id='2847994' first='Jack' last='Logan']. Mental toughness is the name of his game; most players his age do not show the poise and maturity that Logan possesses. Logan proved he is a game-changer after coming back from an injury. Select Krona has gone 7-1 in the past two weeks with Jack back in the starting lineup.</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":"Jayden Post","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"DeLasalle","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] Dedina 15U","_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-683503467ce4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He proved himself as a tough defender who gives great help side when needed.

Trevor got his teammates involved, which translated to great team efficiency. His goal is never to score the most as an individual but rather to have a productive win. Engelmann is a kid who is okay with minimum points as long as his teammates are thriving. Although Trevor has put his team on his back at times this season. He plays with a true team mentality, a great attitude, and is a hard worker.
