He's a physical athlete that can play the game at basically any speed. Favors is an above the rim finisher in transition and a solid rebounding wing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588185"],"_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-6877e7c813530"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slack is 1 of the most underrated players that I've seen this year. That includes events from the Prep Hoops Circuit, MADE Hoops and NY2LA. He can board with his super fast re-jump and has 1 of the top mid range games of any guard I've seen. Oh yeah, we've also seen Slack catch fire from beyond the arc and put up a 20 point HALF. Slack should be sitting on double digit offers. That simple.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588081"],"_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-6877efbe5c703"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Francis just averaged 38.6 points per game over a 3 game period last weekend at The Final Chapter. 16 of those points came when he forced turnovers and turned defense into offense. And Francis wasn't even shot heavy. He hit jumpers at a high percentage and scored in the open floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1793920"],"_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-6877e7c8135d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jamison was solid last weekend at The Final Chapter outside of Chicago. I have no doubt that he'll do it again in his home state this weekend. Jamison is a very high IQ player that carries underrated athleticism. He moves freely and can change directions with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2858649"],"_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-6877ed60d2092"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Opsommer can be seen with Moneyball East. He's a big 6-6 with the next level frame to go with it. Opsommer has touch around the rim and he can step outside and bury a jumper from behind the arc. He had a huge weekend at the Prep Hoops Michigan State Tournament, so I'm looking forward to seeing him follow up that outing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Brawl For The Ball in Grand Rapids will feature a lot of in-state talent. Coaches and scouts should have their eye on many players in the 17u division. We're going to take a look at some to the players to see!
