He's spent the last few weeks showcasing his point guard skills mixed with some nice scoring plays. Had a near double-double in his Summer Madness League win vs Sidwell. Set his teammates up all game long and sank a few 3-pointers in the process. CJ had a possession where came up the floor with a set play and switched the play after reading the defense. The team ran the play and CJ assisted a 3pt shot. </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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2893753' first='Jaden' last='Hargrove']","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"City","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-683cd2cc68709"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaden played a critical role in his team's win over Fairfax Christian. Started the game off with a catch-and-shoot three-pointer from the wing. Jaden followed that up with another 3 from the corner. Aside from his clear shooting ability, I felt that the team was better with him running the point. He controlled the pace of the offense well and made some good decisions with the ball. Hargrove keeps his head up to find cutters and shooters in transition and in the halfcourt. Very mature game from Jaden as the lead guard for Baltimore City.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782664"],"_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-682ab222678c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tavares showcased multiple angles to his game offensive game this past weekend at MADE Hoops. First he knocked down countless jumpers from range, shaking his man off the dribble with different combos. It was impressive to see the way he mixed it up to get to his spots offensively through the first couple games. In the latter half of games for Vito Official, Vaughn-Cooper honed in to his playmaking and defensive ability. Boogie created a number of baskets for his team by driving the lane with control and keeping his head up to find shooters and cutters. He was a name-to-watch entering the weekend and was a clear standout by the end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588130"],"_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-682ab22267ac4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devon kept catching my eye with his play this weekend in Baltimore with [program_tooltip program_id='2349432' first='Team' last='Attack']. His precise shot-creating ability was on full display. He was able to go left or right and get straight to his pullup. It hardly mattered who stepped in front of Devon with his creativity and effectiveness in scoring. He was very confident in his ability and looked for the ball each time down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2540467"],"_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-682ab22267b0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryce impacted the game tremendously for [program_tooltip program_id='2458549' first='Inspire' last='Elite'] at MADE Hoops. He was a ballhawk defensively as he boosted the team's performance consistently. Defensively changed games by creating steals from his on-ball presence. Bryce was effective on the offensive end as well, taking the ball to the rim with aggression and showed a nice touch on his jumpshot. He has gone on to dominate on both ends of the floor early on at the Capitol Hoops Summer League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
