Byers has nice size and can get into his jumpshot well with his length and athleticism. Seems to find his way to the ball in different scenarios, deflects the ball defensively and stays active on the glass. Mason has a likeable game as he seems to make the right plays more often then not.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2880724"],"_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-684a2ad48f1c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaden is a guard that I expect to climb the 2028 ladder in terms of his ranking. He has big-time potential with his natural talent and strong size at the guard. Kaden can play on or off the ball and make an impact the same. Gough is effective at all three levels on the floor offensively, and I expect his scoring to improve dramatically as his experience grows. Kaden is a hustle player that fits the JFK mold, defends hard and plays with confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2880710"],"_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-684a2ad48f230"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Israel is a raw find at the forward/wing position. He has shown the ability to make sound decisions with the ball around the basket. Big body and uses it well, you can see he has some natural athleticism in his game. Will be interesting to see how he progresses in his young career at Marriott's Ridge as his role increases. He can shoot the ball when open but is most effective attacking the basket and finishing down low. Decent enough handles to get himself into scoring position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2880727"],"_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-684a2ad48f277"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jevon is an intriguing young guard with some nice skill. He can shoot the ball and dribble well which he put on display for TTO early this summer. Jevon, younger brother of NBA guard Jordan Hawkins, shows some similarities in his game. Flashy and smooth handle that can shake his defender off him. Already a confident shooter that believes in his ability to shoot from outside and closer in. Has a real shot of becoming one of Maryland's most recruited guards by the time he is a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2880729"],"_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-684a2ad48f2cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another lengthy big/wing to help shape the Stags roster. Nathan is a hustle player that is rewarded with his work on the court. He grabs rebounds and puts shots back up at a high rate. Nathan can get to his spots using the dribble and controls the ball well inside. A young but reliable wing player that puts up quality performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
