Chwastyk displayed a quick release and textbook mechanics on his jump shot that is accurate from the baseline to the mid-range to beyond the arc. He was especially accurate on spot up corner threes. His height, two-dribble moves, and high IQ enabled Chwastyk to operate at the elbows as a scoring threat or timely passer. Chwastyk also showed potential as a pick-n-roll big and as a finisher in the dunker spot. Defensively, Chwastyk's size, wingspan and court awareness make him a plus rebounder and intimidating shot blocker. It will be interesting to witness how Chwastyk's skill set translates to the spring summer grassroots circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2461963"],"_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-68139e712db2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is a two-way guard prospect who posted 10 point per night as a freshman and notched a season high 15 points on several occasions. What pops about Davis is his unique ability to quickly turn defensive stops (steals / rebounds) and loose balls into fast break opportunities for himself and teammates. Davis has a nose for the ball and once he has secured the rock, he will not hesitate to pass it ahead or get downhill in a hurry. On half-court possessions, Davis is an accurate three-point shooter with a rapid-fire release. If a defender crowds Davis, he will put the ball on the deck and get to his mid-range spots or all the way to the cup for a lay-in. Davis's unique skill set is a perfect fit for the grassroots circuit.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2851254"],"_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-68139e712db82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Former George School Head Coach Ben Luber described Melniczak as a “sleeper” who did all the “glue guy” work on a George School roster that was loaded with prolific scorers. Now that Melniczak is on the grassroots circuit, we expect this high IQ guard to take on more of a scoring role. This winter when Melniczak was not facilitating for teammates or rebounding or picking opponent's pockets, he flashed a highly accurate 3-point shot with logo distance range. Melniczak's frequent steals combined with his underrated speed led to fast break buckets for him. On those transition opportunities Melniczak proved he can score through contact or with a creative touch. That open court skill set will serve him well on the spring grassroots circuit.      </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450654"],"_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-68139e712dbca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Salisbery exploded onto the recruiting scene in the opening week of his freshman year with three straight 25 points or more scoring performances. He went on to post four additional games of 20+ points and finished the 2024-25 season as Conestoga Valley's leading scorer at 15 points per night. As freshman, Salisbery displayed a polished primary ball handler skill set and played with extreme poise. No matter how big the stage, Salisbery never allowed opponents to speed him. Salisbery scored at every level in the half and piloted the fast break for scores and assists. But this winter what really popped about Salisbury's skill set was his ability to get teammates involved. Salisbery exceled at play making for teammates off the dribble. He delivered precise dimes in pick-n-roll as well as pick-n-pop actions. Salisbery was also on point with passes to back door cutters as well as kick outs to open shooters and slips passes to the dunker spot.        </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
