The moment he crosses half-court, he becomes a scoring threat. Moving without the basketball, in addition to his ability to create his own shot, gives him an advantage as a scorer. In the Saturday game I was watching, the 6'1" combo guard changed the game when he caught fire from distance in the first half. This allowed his team to have more opportunities to attack the paint and create open looks as the defense was required to pay extra attention to McKenzie. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381610"],"_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-6821542b4ffd6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The playmaking ability of Ise can completely alter the flow of his team throughout the game. Ise thrives as a facilitator, and when he's getting downhill and inside the paint, good things happen for his squad. Since he keeps the ball on a string when he handles, he can get to any spot on the floor with ease. Ise displays some nice footwork and positioning as he maneuvers throughout the floor. He uses his body well and excels in the drive-n-kick. Ise can also shoot it, providing matchup nightmares for opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2824037"],"_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-6821542b5001e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stemper is a high-IQ player who consistently makes smart decisions. The combo guard is a crafty player with great patience. He regularly plays with his head up, searching for the right pass to make. Stemper doesn't force anything and takes good care of the basketball. Stemper gets in the paint at a high rate, which opens things up for himself and his teammates. He scores efficiently inside, yet is a willing passer, which makes the defense think once he's beaten his man off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2121358"],"_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-6821542b5005f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The speed and toughness Davis plays with give him an advantage over his opponents. The gritty point guard is everywhere for his team as he facilitates, scores, moves without the ball, and plays intense defense. He excels when he is leading the charge defensively, picking up full-court and giving opposing ball-handlers headaches. Staying poised as a playmaker helps him see the floor better than most. He even rebounds well for his size and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Davis has a dynamic skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1895712"],"_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-6821542b5009e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Using great strength and physicality, Zoa was able to dominate in his game on Saturday night. The 6'5" prospect was showing off some impressive rebounding and defense. He's a smart defender, staying on his feet and not jumping at ball-fakes, walling up effectively, and guarding multiple positions. Zoa is a tough player who can easily fend off the defense as he attacks the basket on the other end of the floor. Zoa is a very well-rounded player who can take over a game on either end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2401352"],"_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-6821542b500dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly-Taylor is an incredible athlete. He plays in the air and above his height. I like how Kelly-Taylor runs the floor; he has an athletic advantage and knows how to use it for easy buckets. The 6'2" shooting guard can impact the game defensively, too. He provides tons of on-ball pressure and keeps his hands and feet active when off-ball. Kelly-Taylor provided his team a spark on Saturday and sealed a win with a steal that turned into a transition dunk.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2848238"],"_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-6821542b5011c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carson can manipulate the flow of a game while playing at his own speed. The 2026 wing can fill it up quickly, and he shoots it with a high release and good rotation. He has an extended range and doesn't need much room to let it fly. Despite his microwave scoring, Carson lets the game come to him. He always plays within himself and makes the right play. Carson is a confident scorer, which allows him to keep a short-term memory and stay locked into the moment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
