--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones was one of the best performers on the day.  The 5'11” lead guard had it rolling in both the 3 on 3 and 5 on 5 settings.  Lengthy guard that has projectability to grow quite a bit.  Such a smooth shot creator being able to get wherever he wanted on the floor.  Shot fakes blowing past defenders regularly finishing with floaters.  Also shot it well from beyond the arc.  His passing was spectacular throwing behind the back dimes and making great reads off live dribbles.  DePaul Prep could have their next standout guard here!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meloche is a 6'0” guard with solid size early on.  Did a lot of his damage in transition by running the floor hard and finishing.  Creative finisher at the rim and rebounds pretty well for a guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 6'5” Glenbard East power forward is a mobile four man that opened eyes with his defense.  Excellent shot blocker that has timing and feel swatting shots.  Has some quickness around the hoop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tait is a 5'10” point guard that brought toughness to the table.  Good slasher and won off the dribble getting in the lane for conversions.  Plays with a high-motor.  Can hit a three on occasion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reed filled in on this squad as they needed another player.  The 6'2” small forward has a very long and lean build.  Lot of projection in the frame.  Good athlete that flashed a mid-range jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
