<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watching back a contest from earlier this month, between two of the better 17U programs. Filled with players who have next level futures. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552358"],"_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-6882ff032b95d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It doesn't matter the level of competition, Mueggenborg is going to get buckets. Has college ready range from deep, and also can score in the mid-range. Does a good job of setting up defenders when he's coming off of screens. While also knowing how to set screens himself, then pop to open spaces where he's seemingly automatic. He's the main man for his back to back Class A champs Warriors, while his reps with Team Oklahoma also show how his game can translate to the next level. Which spoiler alert, he will. It's simple. He's a shooter who can play off the ball, help out some on the ball and is smart as a defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1987391"],"_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-6882ff032b9b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is gaining momentum on the recruiting front. And from watching this game, it's easy to see why. He was active on the glass throughout the contest, especially the offensive end. High motor play is always good to see, but his game is fully evolving. Looks more natural and confident when shooting jumpers. From turnarounds in the mid-range, to a few late in the game threes. Impressive signs that Williams has likely attacked the gym this spring and summer, with the goal to take his game to the next level. Recently has been offered by Southwestern, Metropolitan State, Mid American Christian, and University of Dallas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552376"],"_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-6882ff032ba01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bouncy utility player, Collins' football background is evident in how physical he is on defense. Is athletic enough to force turnover on guards. While also capable of battling around the rim. Runs the floor well for transition points, and is a good roll man/off the ball cutter in the halfcourt. Good connector type passer too, seeing the floor well and making quick decisions to set up his teammates. Finishes above the rim with ease. Part of a very athletic eastern Oklahoma family that has produced lots of collegiate athletes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2079283"],"_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-6882ff032ba43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Starnes simply continues to produce. He might have had a little bit of luck with his first banked in three. But players tend to make their own luck through effort, and he kept scoring the rock. Knows how to seal and score when attacking a mismatch on the block. Gets on the offensive glass too. While also working the mid-range with tough jumpers. With his combination of height and knack for scoring, he's a strong bet at the next level for regional small college programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552392"],"_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-6882ff032ba8e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Back on the court after a minor injury derailed a strong spring. Plays to his size and strength as a physical driver and tough defender. Had some impressive finishes at the rim, including a lefty take. Looked good on the perimeter as a defender, moving his feet well and leveraging his strength. Was quieter as a shooter, but did hit a dagger three late that helped his Team Oklahoma squad to the win. Expected to take up a big scoring role for new school; Class 4A contenders Mount Saint Mary.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552333"],"_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-6882ff032bace"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the aspects that standouts about Edwards is it doesn't matter which hand makes the passes. Odds are it's going to be accurate and right in the shooter's pocket. Along with his usual show running, dime dropping ways, this was a stronger shooting performance off the dribble from deep. Complete with him knowing when to look for his shot when trying to push the tempo in a rally attemp. Rock solid lead guard, who overcome some early turnovers to have a strong game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1987392"],"_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-6882ff032bb0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">By the lofty standards of Goodwin, this wasn't his best shooting performance. But he still stood out for the work he was doing on and off the ball. Brought the ball up more and looked empowered to be more confident as a lead ball handler. Then as any good shooter should, he works his tail off moving off the ball. Even would pop up with key rebounds on both ends of the court. It's fantastic to see the work the 918 sharpshooter has done to fill in his game around his shooting superpower. Was recently offered by Southwestern in Weatherford. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
