In his performance against Up Next NC, he got virtually whatever he wanted. Mekhi maneuvered into the lane to open up the floor and finish inside. He was strong with the dribble and confident in his ability to create, which is what I wanted to see most from him. He stepped up big and looked like he was in control of how the game was going to flow. Shot very efficiently form the floor, sinking in three-pointers and some midrange jumpshots alike through the game. Remained a pest on the defensive end as usual, creating loose balls and grabbing steals early and often. Defended the full length of the court with intention to disrupt. Looked like the best player on the floor this game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2640011"],"_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":2909532,"_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-687ec47019c5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Uriah was on today for Vito Official. He defended in every way, physical on the inside and protected the rim with timely blocks. Impressed me with the way he adjusted to the contact and intensity of the game. Uriah still hit his normal jumpshots and got to his spots on the floor through the physicality. He and his team all played with incredible tenacity blended with execution that wore down the opponent over the course of the game. Seems like Uriah hides a small piece to his game each time I see him out.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782664"],"_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":2909564,"_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-687ed861f2c72"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like Uriah, 'Boogie' Cooper was all-in with the intensity of the game and stayed in the moment. He defended the ball hard and made a lot of stops in his matchup against the Q6 All-Stars from Florida. Tavares was shifty with the ball and kept his head up at all times to hit his shooters. I liked the way Boogie attacked the basket when his shots weren't falling early. He scored a big part of his points at the basket using his underrated strength to finish tough layups. Did a good job of being patient within his attacks and was rewarded with timely baskets. Boogie was grabbing rebounds and pushing the ball ahead well, playing the point solid leading the team to an 80+ point game. Owned the midrange with floaters and pullups, making him unpredictable and a threat through the whole game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2909551,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gavin White","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"UPrep (NY)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Ease Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687ed861f2d03"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gavin White is one of the most impressive guard prospects I've seen this summer. Displayed a variety of levels to his game as he led the way for his team's win over the MD Stars. He made it clear he could not be stopped one-on-one, easily slipping by his defender followed by an athletic finish over the defender. Gavin is naturally gifted athletically over more then otheres. His pick-and-roll maturity spoke volumes as he broke down the defense with the dribble and his jumpshot creation in-between. Shot the ball with deep range and eventually forced the defense to run a box-and-1 on him at times, other times blitzing a double-team. Gavin made his teammates better when he was fully locked in. Did a good job of letting the game come to him and choosing his spots to score in bundles, really playing a different game then the rest on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2876205"],"_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":2909559,"_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-687ed861f2d58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James played well all-around for the Washington Warriors in a blowout win. What stood out most to me about his game was his physicality. James recorded 2 blocks early in the first half and continued his aggressive defensive play through the length of the game. Buried 3 triples to start the game off for the Warriors and that put them in position to dominate early. Credit to both James for running the break well and his teammates for doing a good job of finding him. He had a couple of strong finishes at the rim that showed he was willing to get inside and slash hard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2553695"],"_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":2909557,"_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-687ed861f2da5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryson was in total control over the entirety of the game. He scored from all three levels and did so in a variety of ways. While scoring the ball Bryson also dished to his teammates. Always kept his head up and hit the big waiting down low when the help came over. Clark got by his defenders with ease and made the right reads all game long which was impressive to see at 15u. Bryson shot the ball well from beyond and forced the defense to closeout on every catch. He was the best player on the floor and the team looked to him to make the play every time they needed it both to score or create.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
