Space City Collision: High Performers 17U

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was a ton of talent on display this past weekend at Space City Collision. Below are a handful of 17U standouts that made a significant impact for their team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2849720"],"_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":2861895,"_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-68224cfc367b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryce is a fast, skilled guard that played at a high level in all of his showings with the [program_tooltip program_id='2075520' first='Houston' last='Raptors'] Benjamin squad. He's incredibly versatile offensively - can knock down the three-ball consistently, great creator off the dribble, and has an uncanny ability to finish through contact at the rim for additional opportunities at the charity stripe. He communicates with his teammates often on both ends of the floor - leading both directly and by example. He's constantly moving and knows how to get open and get to his sweet spots effectively. He's a focused defender and can put the clamps on the most talented of opposing guards. I have a feeling we will be hearing Roquemore's name more and more frequently as he completes his senior year and continues to put in the work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2819443"],"_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-68224cfc36807"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Will is a tenacious, talented combo guard that can do everything out on the floor to make it incredibly hard on his opposition. He hypes up his teammates with his communication on both ends of the court and never seems to lose momentum or energy. He's one of the best distributors I saw all weekend and he can pair that with creating his own offense off the dribble on demand. He's extremely hard to stop when he gets a head of steam on the fast break and he makes intelligent decisions quickly. His court vision is off the charts and he will find any teammate that has an inkling of space for a solid look at the hoop. He's a menace on defense, always staying in front of his man and picking passing lanes and pockets at will. Abney is a player you don't want to miss any opportunity you have to see him play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2428176"],"_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-68224cfc36851"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cole is a sharpshooting point guard for the Arnold Elite squad that knows how to get his guys involved and make game-changing plays. If you give him any amount of space above the arc, he'll utilize his quick release and stack buckets on you in a hurry. He's a solid defender and knows how to get to the ball without fouling on a frequent basis, which frustrates the living daylights out of his opponents. He's lethal from mid-range and only needs to see a shot or two go in before he goes on a hot streak. He has an excellent passing ability and is effective with dishing it out on the go for quick, open opportunities for his teammates. His handle and footwork are both solid and he has no problem filling out the box score consistently. Hill will continue to turn heads as he continues his ascent from here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2861893,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"William Mulumba","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Legion Prep","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Gulf Coast Blue Chips","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68224cfc368eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">William is an imposing, fierce forward that can take quick advantages of mismatches and simply overpower his competition. He was the most dominant player I saw all weekend with his ability to control the glass on both ends and get whatever he wanted in the paint against worthy competitors. He has a strong, solid frame and is already built like a college athlete. He has a nice ability to make shots through contact and he does that frequently because fouling is the only way to stop him at times. He had a thunderous dunk in one of his later games that got everyone on the bleachers out of their seats and I have a feeling that's not a rare occurrence for him. I expect Mulumba to continue to impress and turn more and more heads as he progresses through his high school career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2830948"],"_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-68224cfc36937"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johan is an absolute bucket of a combo guard with range that extends well beyond the arc. He was the best shooter I saw all weekend - mainly due to his ability to sink shots regardless of coverage. It didn't matter if he was wide open or tightly covered by a solid defender, if he was putting it up, it was going in more times than not. He comes off as a guard that can get hot quickly and stay that way. At certain points, opposing teams were throwing double-coverages at him and he was still swishing buckets in their faces. On top of his sharpshooting ability, he's an absolute hustler on both ends - never slows down, makes the right reads, and delivers time and time again for his LBD squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
