A true catalyst, Blalock is the engine that makes all of his teams go and is possibly the most valuable player in Class A D-I. Dazzling playmaker makes others around him better. Deep three-point range. Has become an explosive leaper for his height. Comfortable probing defenses in traffic. Averaged 19.9 points, 3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game. Earned a Young Harris offer in December.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2380953"],"_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-6826314811517"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Has already enjoyed a terrific spring, shining as an elite shooter. Jayden scores from all levels but it's his potent perimeter play that really stands out. Crawford gets buckets off the catch and off the dribble. He scores in bunches, able to take over games quickly if not guarded tightly. The GIAA star poured in 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.2 steals while shooting 90-268 (34%) from beyond the arc. Edward Waters has offered. D-II programs should be in heavy contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471145"],"_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-6826314811588"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Azu has measurables and skills that could draw college attention. He's a long-armed lanky guard with respectable size on the perimeter. While he may not have elite size, he makes up for his perceived slight shortcoming with monster athleticism. Josiah jumps out of the gym, making him an effective rebounder and high upside defender. His three-point shot is his calling card but with his agility and leaping ability, Azu has a chance to blossoming into an above average slasher as he adds on more muscle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543488"],"_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-68263148115f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Class A D-I Most Improved Player racked up 15.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game. Brown is a high-energy guard that touches the game in all facets. He's a springy finisher downhill with a smooth glide. His jump shot is improving. Defensively, AJ has a rangy wingspan which allows him to earn deflections. Brown has great tools to work with moving forward. His ascent has only just begun.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543515"],"_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-682631481165a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Glanton is primed for a big senior season. He has been outstanding for the Atlanta Panthers this spring, showcasing his shot making ability and clutch gene. Glanton plays with great balance as he changes speeds and works of high ball screens. Thomas scores at all levels but it is his jump shot that really sticks out. He does a great job getting to his spots, gaining just enough separation to knock down jumpers from the mid-range and beyond. With that being said, Glanton isn't just a shooter. He's a deft passer especially on alley-oops and he's tough in traffic, capable of scoring at the rim on drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
