When catching the ball on the perimeter Pierce is always ready to shoot getting jump shots off quickly. His movement without the ball was evident spotting up in many areas above the three point line. Overall he is a threat to defenses as he can get it done scoring on all three levels mainly scoring from the perimeter. At times Pierce will get quick transition points from being at the right place at the right times.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2870060"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2892968,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-686369088685d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2870060' first='Noah' last='Alexander'], a player for [player_tooltip player_id='2854586' first='Austin' last=''] Prep Academy, showcased his versatility in a loss to CE King High School, scoring 16 points. He demonstrated his ability to score from beyond the arc and drive to the basket. I was particularly impressed by his crafty ball-handling skills as he maneuvered past his defenders. Noah also demonstrated the ability to create space for himself by driving away from defenders, allowing him to get his jump shots off quickly. On the defensive end, Noah displayed flashes of toughness and demonstrated his ability to defend on the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2555718"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2892970,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68636908868b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2555718' first='Emanuel' last='Justice'], a prospect from Cy Ridge High School, truly shone in the interior, dominating the paint with his strength and athleticism. His rebound prowess made a significant impact on both ends of the floor, particularly on the offensive end, where he capitalized on second-chance opportunities. Emanuel bravely faced bigger opponents, using his physicality to his advantage. I am confident that Emanuel will have a standout season for Cy Ridge High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2869639"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2892972,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68636908868ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Over the Kickstarter Showcase, Maverick showcased his offensive prowess, consistently maintaining a high usage rate. This forced him to become more comfortable making decisions with the ball in his hands. Within the offensive flow, he received numerous excellent opportunities from all three levels of the court. Maverick truly found his rhythm and stride, extending the game as he continued to score effectively. Defensively, he has always been adept at guarding both the perimeter and inside the paint. On the boards, he demonstrated his rebounding skills, particularly in defensive situations where he would soar high to secure rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2222522"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-686369088693d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jalen Carswell, a skilled player, always strives to make plays while handling the ball. What truly impressed me was his exceptional decision-making in transition. He made precise reads, passing the ball to his teammates for open looks. Carswell consistently put pressure on opposing defenses, setting up the offense for Good Vision Academy. In a standout performance against La Porte High School, he scored 15 points, effortlessly bypassing defenders with his quick handle, making a significant impact at the guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
