Craven is Mr. Utility, he does it all. Cooper is full of versatility, he effectively defends all positions on the floor. You will not find a harder worker on the SSA Black team. On offense, he knocks down open shot from all levels and he makes hustle plays up and down the hardwood. Cooper is strong and physical for his age. Bball fans love a player who gives 110% and that is what Mr. Craven gives every game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2858384"],"_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-682c03b799be8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He is looking like the top baller on SSA 14U West. Dykema is an athletic BEAST! Garin does not move like a JH kid. He is also tall &amp; long. Dykema is fast with quick feet. He scores from anywhere on the court but is also willing to pass to the open teammate. He is one of the top players on the court, no matter who his squad is competing against. The Sabers have to be excited about his potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2480721"],"_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-682c03b799c31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mr. Woods is a dynamic long guard with a high IQ and he loves to compete. He is also a phenomenal athlete who plays above the rim. Noah reads the floor well, exploits mismatches, takes smart shots, and creates open looks for others. He drills open middys, cashes in open 3's, cuts for profit, and slips screens smartly. Woods is a matchup headache with his skill/length/athleticism/smarts. On D, Noah is versatile and he causes problems with his length and sharp instincts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2826298"],"_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-682c03b799c76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Payton plays with a great feel for the game and scores well for a PG. He is also an unselfish passer who sees the floor like a grizzled veteran. Sorensen moves the rock and makes the extra pass when needed. He can stroke it from three-point land and once he gets hot, look out! His range runs very deep for such a youngster. On defense, Payton plays hard, he makes up for his size with hustle, quickness, and grit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2631384"],"_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-682c03b799cb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He had a nice season on varsity in Class A and is looking tough this spring in club ball. Philip has a relentless motor and he is a highly productive rebounder. His natural instincts and nose for the ball put him around the rock every time a shot goes up. He boards up like Dennis Rodman. This Miner has a unique ability to read missed shots off the basket and he seems to always beat the opposition to the ball. Weidner is also an efficient finisher around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2442325"],"_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-682c03b799cfa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barman was All-District &amp; All-Region this winter. He is living up to the hype this spring while dominating at Prep Hoops events in the 15U division. Ty is putting up points from all 3 levels and he is doing it at an impressive clip. He has no problem getting downhill, when he gets the D on his hip, there is no stopping Mr. Barman. Ty is a matchup nightmare as he can take smaller guys inside and pull BIGs outside to beat them off the bounce. He can also bang home triples. Barman is a capable defender, he cleans up the glass, and he plays the game with intensity. Let's not forget his athleticism....Ty is a gifted athlete and an above-the-rim finisher. Ty even qualified for State T&amp;F in high jump on his first attempt this spring, so yeah, he is a little bit athletic as an 8th grader!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1272514,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/08/PHD.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/08/PHD.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-1272514" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
