He has played extremely well on the 3Stripes GOLD Circuit. His game continues to improve every time he takes the floor. He is starting to get noticed by multiple division one college programs across the nation. Bramlett has recently heard from Mike Bibby's highly decorated coaching staff at Sacramento State, Wisconsin Green Bay, UNLV, Boise State, and North Dakota. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2085701"],"_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-6854aa49e81b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maddox has been a stand out guard on the 3Stripes GOLD Circuit. In the 2 events that his squad attended, Taylor has averaged 12.2 points per game. He is crashing the glass and helping his team quickly get the ball down the floor to get easy transition points. Taylor is averaging 4.1 rebounds per game. He has done a great job staying active on defense as well throughout the grassroots season. He is averaging 1.2 steals per game at the moment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2215899"],"_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-6854aa49e81fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pedro has stood out as one of the most difficult guards to deal with throughout the summer. He Has helped Del Norte, his high school team, have a very successful off season in their games against some of the top high school clubs around the state. Padron plays with the most heart on the floor and his intensity makes all of his teammates better. Pedro will look to carry this momentum into July as he gets ready to get back on the grassroots scene. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2822061"],"_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-6854aa49e8241"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fuller really made a name for himself throughout the 1st part of the grassroots season. He has proven to be one of the most explosive high flyers in the state of New Mexico. His quick twitch has allowed him to get past defenders with ease and his athletic ability has helped him finish around the basket very well. Fuller has gotten better every weekend that he has stepped on the floor. Expect for Payton to have a big time July as we gear us for the end of the grassroots season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2832972"],"_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-6854aa49e8282"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aiden has been very tough to stop this summer! He has showcased his ability to work his way to the the paint and finish strong around the rim. He does a great job of getting downhill and attacking the defense. He knows when to stop on a dime and change directions. His jump shot has been on display for the state to see as well. He has knocked down some big time three pointers from a few feet beyond the three point line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
