Boone's versatility was instantly apparent, he could defend straight-line drives, then rotate weak side and block shots with elite timing. He was nearly unshootable over when extending both arms and playing wide, even through contact. Offensively, he displayed soft touch around the rim with a polished drop-step package, turning and spinning into clean looks with fluid footwork. His strong upper body allowed him to absorb bumps in the paint and still power up through contact. A true two-way big with modern versatility and poise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2857348"],"_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-6819f9e56b3f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aidan Harris is a left-handed big with a commanding post presence on both blocks, Harris showcased soft touch in traffic, including a tough, contested push shot off the glass early that set the tone. He embraced physicality, routinely initiating contact and finishing through defenders' chests with power finishes off two feet. On the glass, he attacked the ball at its apex, setting a tone with his effort and second-jump instincts. Defensively, he walled vertically with textbook discipline, altering and blocking shots without leaving the floor thanks to his elite standing reach. Harris also sprinted the floor with consistency, routinely beating opposing bigs end-to-end, a testament to his conditioning and motor. A hard-nosed, high-effort five with a low-maintenance/high-impact game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767984"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2857354,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6819f9e56b455"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'4”, Lacour excelled in dunker spot actions, using sharp timing to duck in at the right moment. His catch radius and soft hands made him reliable around the rim, and once he secured the ball, he exploded off the floor for powerful two-handed finishes. His timing and feel for spacing off drives allowed him to capitalize without needing many touches, the kind of vertical spacing threat that punishes collapsing help defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556033"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2857353,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6819f9e56b4a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2556033' first='Cayden' last='Abrego'] proved to be a relentless offensive rebounder with a nose for second-chance points. Abrego consistently cleaned up his own misses and created extra possessions by keeping balls alive with tip-outs and controlled deflections. He showed an advanced understanding of how to position his body and pursue rebounds out of his area, making him a valuable piece in effort-based possessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2855098"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2857356,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6819f9e56b4ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strong, athletic, and high-motor, Jordan brought impact in multiple phases of the game. He ran the floor hard, elevated with explosiveness, and competed with an edge. Defensively, his anticipation allowed him to blitz the point of attack, disrupting ball handlers with surprise traps, tips, and tie-ups. Off the ball, he consistently found himself in the right position at the right time, a result of his feel, awareness, and ability to read the play before it unfolded. His blend of functional strength and mobility made him a plug-and-play contributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2857350"],"_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-6819f9e56b529"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2857350' first='Kyren' last='Smith'] possessed elite physical tools with a pro-ready frame. broad shoulders, long arms, and an imposing presence when extended. Though still raw, Smith already rebounds with aggression and asserts himself physically in the paint. His length and vocal communication made him an asset defensively, especially in early help or weak-side rotations. With continued development, he projects as a high-ceiling hybrid forward whose blend of strength, length, and effort could translate to a high-level impact role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Mayhem in the Plex was an action-packed event filled with intensity, pace, and plenty of standout performances as Prep Hoops kicked off another loaded grassroots weekend.
