Ward is a 4/5 but is unique as he can step away from the hoop and do work. As a strong player, he has a soft shot with good feet. When he has to defend on the perimeter, Alphonso does a solid job and switches effectively. He runs the floor well and rebounds like an animal.

Expect Carter to stand out as a prolific scorer. Evanson is a defensive thief who makes hay with steals and jaw-dropping dunks in transition. He will also dunk in traffic, shoot the lights out from deep, dish assists, and throw alley-oop dimes. Easy is also super skilled with his left hand. He throws 1-handed southpaw passes on the regular and he is a phenomenal lefty finisher. Evanson will likely draw a ton of attention from the D, will he still produce?

He is passionate about the game and is daring at himself and teammates to be great. Eaton has excellent passing skills and love to draw defenders so he can setup teammates.

Will the Bison and Hawks be in attendance this weekend? We suspect so. This is Hanson's last chance to show out with scouts in attendance. Can Sage put on a clinic in Indy? Sage is a great shot-blocker, and knock-down shooter, a horse on the boards, and an above-the-rim finisher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2869760"],"_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-687a693b8bf6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He runs with BBT Elite.
