Jordan excels with deep post seals and high-low entry positioning. An excellent passer for his size, he uses bounce passes and soft touch deliveries to assist teammates. Jordan plays with control, finishes through contact, and continues to reshape his frame, showing major upside. Has flashed a mean streak over the course of his career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125516"],"_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-682f5c1ecfc23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An elite athlete and high-motor wing who defends all five positions. Langston uses his length to disrupt passing lanes and protect the rim. Explosive above the rim and capable of knocking down open jumpers. His playmaking continues to evolve. A high-upside prospect who plays with great energy.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2300245"],"_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-682f5c1ecfc67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also a baseball player, Russell has untapped potential on the hardwood. Comfortable on the perimeter, he uses jabs and footwork to get downhill or pull up for jumpers. Scores in the post with drop steps and soft touch. Defensively, his length alters shots and controls the glass. A versatile and polished wing-forward with inside-out ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478481"],"_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-682f5c1ecfcc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Made one of the biggest leaps in the state from Year 1 to Year 2, increasing his averages to 15.3 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 blocks. A physical interior presence who finishes with baby hooks and plays through contact. Also knocked down 26 threes at a 33% clip, showcasing his growing face-up game.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2262493"],"_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-682f5c1ecfd0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slender but impactful, Moon is a stretch big who makes a difference on both ends. He runs the floor well, finishes with authority, and is quick off the ground. Moon shows flashes of mid-range shooting ability and handles the ball well enough to start the break. A high-upside combo-forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

 College coaches from across the nation will ascend on LakePoint Sports on June 20-22 and 27-29 for the Live Period to watch top prospects from Georgia. Here are players that will have the attention of coaches in attendance.
