#PHLive: Max’s Day Two Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the top performers I saw on Saturday at Prep Hoops Live!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2780787"],"_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-6829c59eae991"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Fridley wing/forward impressed during the 8am time slot running with [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. From the opening minute he was making an impact defensively with his long and athletic 6'4 frame, jumping a pass for a steal and getting all the way to the rim to finish. Jenovic has a nose for the rim, able to attack off the dribble, fly up the floor in transition, or go to work out of the post. He knows who he is as a player, and rather than settling for jumpers, he makes it a priority to get to the rim and either draw a foul or finish. Really versatile defender who can make plays as a shot blocker or move his feet on the perimeter with smaller players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2431609"],"_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-6829c59eaea08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaan showcased his raw potential running with [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] Dunlap. At 6'6 you don't see many guys with the agility that Isaan has, able to change directions on the ball and blow by opposing forwards. Really dangerous catching at the high post, facing up, and getting to the rim off one or two dribbles. Moves his feet well laterally defensively, but would like to see him work on his timing to become more of a shot blocking threat. Showed soft touch to finish at a high percentage in the paint. Helped lead his team to a win over Spartan Sports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381700"],"_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-6829c59eaea7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2381700' first='Jeremiah' last='Collins'] was all over the floor coming up with plays defensively, particularly on the final possession of the game. With his team ahead by a bucket, Jeremiah moved his feet to lock down a smaller/quicker guard and help his team secure the win. At 6'4 he was guarding pretty much every spot on the floor, as he has good agility out on the perimeter, and a strong frame that helps him hold his ground in the paint. Had multiple blocks showing he can protect the rim as well. Offensively he was at his best slashing to the basket to finish inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2145758"],"_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-6829c59eaeae9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas is having another big weekend this spring running with [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. The 6'4 wing was a walking highlight yesterday, throwing down a handful of explosive dunks across two games, including a windmill in transition during game two. He's an elite athlete who excels at jumping passes to get out in transition, or beating his defender with backdoor cuts off the ball. Continues to prove he's a threat to catch and shoot from three as well. The ball never seems to stick in Thomas' hands as he doesn't over-dribble and knows what he's going to do as soon as it comes his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2414753"],"_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-6829c59eaeb56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rigg is an intriguing prospect in the 2027 class as he has length at 6'4, can handle the ball well, and is a big time shooter from three. Last night running with MTXE he took over in the second half, hitting a handful of jumpers, using his length to pick up steals and get out in transition, and connecting on some clutch free throws. Showed he can break the press on his own to get his team into their offense, or play out on the wing where he was moving well to find pockets of space to catch and shoot. Nice long term potential with this 2027 prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2121367"],"_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-6829c59eaebc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dre continues to impress this spring with [program_tooltip program_id='2078859' first='Starks' last='Elite']. Against [program_tooltip program_id='2127820' first='Racine' last='Truth'] he did a nice job of pushing the tempo in transition, able to create some easy buckets for his teammates. He always had his eyes scanning the floor, and was throwing it ahead to sprinting teammates for easy lay-ups. In the half-court he was stretching the floor with his outside shooting, showing a quick release off the catch to beat the closeout. Someone who has to be accounted for at all times off the ball as he can make you pay for letting him catch in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2429738"],"_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-6829c59eaec31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaiah showed a quick first step to continuously beat defenders off the dribble for [program_tooltip program_id='2127820' first='Racine' last='Truth']. He was their go-to guy when they needed a bucket, as he showed he can get to the rim just about anytime he wanted to. Sag off though, and Isaiah was able to recognize the space and pull-up for a mid-range jumper. He averaged 8.9 ppg as a junior for a really deep Racine Lutheran team, and figures to be a key player for them once again as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
