He has a nice form on his jumper that has good mechanics especially in catch and shoot situations. Along with being a good shooter he has the ability to put the ball on the floor to create driving lanes for himself. Being a threat like this on offense makes Paul a valuable prospect that could make an impact on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2826055"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68241cfe34067"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2826055' first='Jamal' last='Merchant'] is an athletically gifted player that is extremely active defensively in passing lanes and on the perimeter playing man to man defense. The defense he brings to table turns into offense at times with him being intense on that side of the ball. His source of offense comes from getting into the paint with the ball in his hands driving past defenders and in transition as he finds himself finishing transition opportunities a lot. Jamal also showed he can shoot from the perimeter in catch &amp; shoot situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2823626"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68241cfe340d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2823626' first='Theodore' last='Nelson'] is a big that can impact both ends of the floor with his versatility offensively and defensively. Offensively Theodore uses his physical presence to score points in the post, shoot over defenders at times from outside the perimeter and make a difference on the offensive rebounds becoming evident against Hustle Basketball Club 16U. Defensively he can make plays in the interior by blocking shots, contesting opponents at the rim, rebounding and being able to defend above the perimeter if needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2253419"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68241cfe34143"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2253419' first='Landon' last='Johnson'] was probably the most active player in transition during the Space City Collision! Anytime his [program_tooltip program_id='2827613' first='LBD' last='Basketball'] 16U squad got in transition, Landon was the player that filled his lanes correctly without the ball which resulted in him getting many opportunities at the basket. With the ball in his possession during transition situations he was always on attack mode staying aggressive at all times. When in attack mode he isn't afraid of contact drawing fouls at times getting himself to the free throw line. In the half court he found his spots off the dribble often pulling up for good looks especially in the mid-range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2620700"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68241cfe341a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2620700' first='Jeremiah' last='Okpamen']'s energy is contagious for a guard being able to provide so much for his LBD team. Offensively he provides the ability to shoot from range, drive to the basket with intensity and making extra effort plays that give his team extra possessions. Defensively he holds his own being able to play well on the ball and always staying active in the passing lanes recording many steals throughout the weekend. Playing the point guard position, he possesses a lot of patience always looking to get the best shot possible slowing the team's pace down at times.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These high energy players left an impact during the Space City Collision tournament. I will be going over five players that played with great energy all weekend long.
