Athletic big guard scores off the dribble and gets to the rim. Heady decision maker. Terrific versatility on defense. High Major prospect, a top player in his class nationally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2210997"],"_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-6839b4b523d90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A standout freshman and multi-sport athlete, Jatta emerged as one of Georgia's top first-year performers. He averaged 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while picking up a Kennesaw State offer during the season. Jatta excels at getting downhill, drawing contact, and finishing through traffic. His ability to knock down the three adds a valuable perimeter element to his game, making him a versatile scoring threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2467350"],"_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-6839b4b523df6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maurice is an explosive athlete who consistently gets downhill and forces defenses to react. He has a knack for baiting fouls and converting at the free-throw line. His quick first step and acceleration allow him to blow by defenders, and his development as a drive-and-kick playmaker has elevated his overall game. Though undersized, he compensates with elite athleticism and relentless energy on both ends of the floor.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194503"],"_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-6839b4b523e58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A smooth lefty guard with a mature feel for the game, Johnson is a high-level shooter already holding multiple Division I offers, including UNLV. He operated primarily as a floor spacer off the bench as a freshman but showed flashes of his ability to contribute in multiple roles. As he continues to grow into more playmaking responsibilities, his ceiling remains extremely high. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471110"],"_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-6839b4b523eb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong and skilled guard, Hernandez combines physicality with finesse to impact the game in a variety of ways. He's capable of overpowering defenders to get to the rim or pulling up with balance and body control. A savvy on-the-move passer, Hernandez reads the floor well and delivers in rhythm. He posted impressive numbers across the board averaging 16 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 2 steals per game. Holds multiple Division I offers. His versatility and feel make him one of the more complete guards in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
