Consistently finds open cutter, adjust for better passing angles and just flat out plays winning basketball. Unselfish leader that communicates on both sides of the basketball. Lake Travis High School basketball is solid at PG with [player_tooltip player_id='2556837' first='Tate' last='Tapken'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2555276"],"_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":2874641,"_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-683ce4382bccd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zydon after missing a large portion of his Junior season has continued t steadily impress. Against all sizes in the post 6' 6" to 6' 9". Zydon dominates in the short corner with a combination of footwork, skill and natural feel. Plays back to the basket and faces up. has proven to be a strong passer from top of the key reading screens and finding open cutters. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556000"],"_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-683ce4382bd33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devin Peterson seems to be an unknown lurking in the dark. Let me tell you sleep in him if you want to. I once watched him have 6 dunks in a game. Over people and around people, sat back thinking "He is a great athlete!". Opinion altered, deep three's silky smooth, Defensive package extremely long armed deflections galore and blocking shots in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2555262"],"_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-684078dfe45fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One word teammate likes to bounce and dunk the ball. Teammate that makes the right pass, takes good shots but rebounds like a madman. Consistent 10 and 10, take it to the bank, 10 and 10. High character, high motor, high academics and High IQ. Alex will have an expanded role on his high school team.

If you remember the term "Blow By" Mr. Hill is a blow by waiting to open. Teams that adjust to take away the drive his shot is pure from outside. Like other small guards that have preceded him in Houston, Hill is ultra productive. Defensively used his quickness to maneuver and guide opposing guards in the chosen direction. Looking forward to watching him develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
