--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carroll was one of the best players at the camp.  This 6'1” guard has some projection to continue to grow.  He was absolutely lethal from deep with his shooting.  I mean he was pouring them in from super deep pulling up, off the catch, and in the mid-range.  Such a fluid and easy shooting stroke.  Creative handles with the ball getting to the rim and used his speed in transition to score.  The passing instincts were certainly shown as well with his feel threading the needle on quite a few passes for dimes.  Rebounds in his area.  Complete offensive player!</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">Billingsley has the physical tools to be a big time player.  At 6'5” with broad shoulders, emerging strength, and plus athleticism he physically looks the part.  He was at his best using his quickness, power, and burst getting downhill where he either scored or was fouled.  Had a nice dunk off a pick/roll play.  Snatches rebounds with physicality.  Should be ready to impact at Simeon this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Randle is a smaller guard at 5'9” that has shake with the ball in his hands.  Used those handles to get into his mid-range shot.  Quickness in the open floor and we liked how he pressed up and competed defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tucker is another undersized guard that goes 5'6”.  He Got in the lane with consistency for layup after layup along with getting to the charity stripe.  Scrappy defender.</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">Tang was a player that shined with the Wolves in July playing up at the 15U level in several tournaments.  Against his own age he was very impactful.  Speed is the name of his game.  He loves to turn on the burners and blow past defenders.  Gets to the rim with consistency where he has a knack for finishing extremely well.  Also is a capable shooter.  The 5'10” guard is one to keep an eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Geneva 5'9” point guard emerged with a strong performance.  He makes up for his lack of size with good length.  Nose for the basketball.  Drained an array of threes with a clean looking shot along with playing off his athleticism in the open floor for scores at the rim on acrobatic layups.  Also is a scrappy defender.</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">Short is a 6'3” forward with some projection to his frame.  Might end up growing into a four man.  Rebounds well in his area and has a nice float game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
