<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the seven prospects who impressed the most on Saturday of the Prep Hoops Brawl for the Ball in Sioux Falls! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132816"],"_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-681770abe0f95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gavin had the best individual performance I saw all day, leading his team to a Saturday night win. He was not missing from the field, scoring in a variety of ways. He was letting it fly from the perimeter when given any space, pulling up off the dribble or receiving kick out passes from teammates. He has great touch around the basket, and had impressive finishes with both hands. Shawd also had some fantastic passes leading to easy baskets for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2413644"],"_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-681770abe1020"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jared is an excellent attacker and can use his lengthy 6'4” frame to finish over defenders. He could do this in the half court, being able to work around his defender, but also found success running in transition, which led to some easier scores. The junior also got loose for a two-handed slam in the open floor. Mohr is an athletic wing who plays hard and is a player that I would want to have on my team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2465512"],"_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-681770abe1080"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duke is a game changer with his athleticism. He was a beast on the boards, grabbing several contested rebounds on both sides of the ball. He is an elite rim protector, being able to jump with anyone that is on the floor. The 6'4” wing also had many finishes around the rim, including a strong two-handed dunk. King has had a great start to his 17U spring and will be a prospect to keep an eye on headed into the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2420801"],"_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-681770abe10e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trey was one of the best shooters I saw on Saturday, as the sophomore seemed to be a threat as soon as he passed half court. He needed to be accounted for at all times from the perimeter, and had a red hot start to the game I saw. He was at his best when pulling up off the dribble, being able to create separation from defenders. Boettcher started to get downhill more later in the game and really impressed me as an overall scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2519956"],"_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-681770abe113e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sullivan used his strong 6'10” frame to dominate in a win on Saturday. With his size, he is an elite interior defensive presence and rebounder, holding down the paint. I was really impressed with his ability to score in different ways. The junior forward could work with his back to the basket, run in transition for easy scores, as well as be able to knock down a mid-range jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2406045"],"_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-681770abe119b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really liked what I saw from Carter on Saturday, as he has a great combination of size and athleticism. I watched him block a shot then run the floor and throw down a thunderous one-hand slam on the other end. He showed some flashes of a perimeter game, as he could knock down shots from beyond the arc off the catch. That size and athleticism also allowed him to defend at a high level, picking up several big blocks. Sapp was great finishing around the basket as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2575625"],"_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-681770abe11f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avandre brings a lot of versatility to the table along with his length. The 6'4” wing was scoring in a variety of ways, being able to knock down looks from the perimeter, as well as slash to the basket. He was effective in the catch-and-shoot, while also being a threat to pull up off the dribble. The Staples Motley junior had some very impressive finishes around the basket, maninating control while at full speed or when faced with traffic inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
