<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are a few guards that need to be on college coaches radars for the upcoming live period. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2553713"],"_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-686daa2341454"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bracey does a nice job getting to different spots on the attack. He has nice touch around the bucket and is effecting getting fouls drawn on him so he can have chances at the foul line. His long arms allow him to collect rebounds with ease. He has a nice blend of size and length that allow him to cover a slew of different positions. He plays an unselfish brand of basketball and has no issues with getting his teammates involved. Bracey is a prospect who should be on the radar of scholarship programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2342638"],"_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-686daa23414d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is a prospect who is peaking at the right time as a prospect and has done a tremendous job making a name for himself with his play. He is very shifty on the attack and picks and chooses what the defense gives him. He never gets sped up and always seems to be one step ahead. Every time I evaluate Brown he puts on an elite scoring display. He has the ability to play above the rim and is a vertical threat when he is inside the paint. He is a prospect who should be a priority for mid major programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2614839"],"_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-686daa234153a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Badea is a perimeter marksmen who if he has his feet set from behind the arc he is cashing in from deep nine out of ten times. He does a superb job of hunting his own shot when playing off of the basketball. Every time I evaluate Badea he seems to string together performances of multiple three point conversion games. He does a nice job moving without the basketball in his hands. Badea is showing that he can get to different spots off the bounce in the mid-range when needed. He should be a priority for division twos who need shooting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2247339"],"_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-686daa23415a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matos is a quick-twitch scorer who can really fill it up when he is in a groove offensively. He does a nice job breaking the game down in the half-court and takes what the defense gives him. Matos can fill it up from behind the arc and has a quick trigger on his release. The southpaw has a green light to shoot whenever the ball is in his hands. He also shows that he can make plays for others with his passing. He should be a priority for low majors who need a scoring guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782668"],"_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-686daa2341604"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson is a dynamic guard who has the ability to make a highlight play in a matter of seconds. He is effective in the open floor and is a threat to finish above the rim whenever he has a head of steam on the attack. Wilson shows that he can score from behind the arc and has no issue creating separation off the bounce to get his shot off. He has a complete game and does a nice job stuffing the stat sheet. Wilson should be a priority for division one programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1988910"],"_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-686dc5603c706"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard">Varlack has the ability to have his hands fingerprinted all over the game for his team. He uses his quickness to get paint touches and has a nice array of finishes around the bucket. He is a threat to score from behind the arc. Varlack has great timing when finding his way to collect steals. He also finds ways to make others better with his passing. He is a prospect who should be on low major division one radars.</span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
