<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2025 GASO Fall Tour in Houston was a basketball extravaganza this past Saturday, featuring a plethora of talented players and top high school teams entertaining the spectators. In this article, I'll be highlighting five players who truly stood out to me early during the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2557761"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dafb88bbf31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2557761' first='Aiden' last='Clark'] is a floor general for Legacy School of Sport Science who excels on offense, effectively engaging himself and his teammates. With the ball predominantly in his possession, he consistently identifies open teammates within the offensive flow, demonstrating precise accuracy. As the starting guard for Legacy, Clark possesses a solid understanding of controlling the pace of the game. In the opening game against Atascocita, he comfortably made two three-pointers, showcasing his shooting prowess with ample space between him and his defender. Clark's driving ability is a significant asset, as he can abruptly stop and pull up from midrange, while also executing layups at the rim. Defensively, he plays well on the ball against opposing perimeter players, primarily guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1778917"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dafb88bbf8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Throughout the GASO Fall Tour, Zayson consistently demonstrated his willingness to crash the glass on both ends of the floor, playing a pivotal role for Atascocita. His off-ball movement stretched the floor out effectively, whether in the half-court or during transition opportunities. In the opening game against Legacy Prep, he showcased his three-point shooting prowess by sinking multiple three-pointers. Additionally, his ability to put the ball on the floor in the post made him a threat to create chances under the basket with quick post-ups. Zayson's physicality on defense in the post was evident as he fought for position against opposing post players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2554901"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dafb88bbffd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2554901' first='Stephen' last='Agiddi'] showcased his exceptional shooting ability throughout my time watching Legacy Prep during Gaso's Fall Tour. Not only did he stretch the floor with his perimeter shots, but he also posed a significant threat in transition. He would run the floor to become an easy target for transition points. I was particularly impressed with his hustle on the boards, making his presence felt inside the paint throughout the day. Defensively, his long frame allowed him to disrupt opposing plays on all three levels at times. Stephen picked up an offer from Kilgore College today as well! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2555210"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dafb88bc047"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2555210' first='AJ' last='Fulsom'] made a strong start to the game, quickly extending the lead to double digits. His ability to sink multiple perimeter shots against Houston Westbury Christian was a key factor. Fulsom is a confident shooter from beyond the arc, requiring only a slight amount of space to take his shots. His shot mechanics are impressive, always finishing with a high release point that aligns perfectly with the basket. Additionally, Fulsom is a strong rebounder, contributing significantly to his team's offensive and defensive efforts.</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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Dan Mangala","_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":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Houston Westbury Christian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"One Time Legends","_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dafb88bc0e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dan Mangala, in his game against Katy Paetow, was a high-usage player who frequently received the ball on the offensive end. He received the ball at the top of the perimeter and inside the post. In post opportunities, he created easy baskets for himself by backing down his defenders, especially if there was a mismatch. Dan also demonstrated the ability to pass out the post to his teammates on the perimeter. At the top of the perimeter, he delivered some excellent passes to his cutting teammates and set some great screens, allowing opposing guards to maintain the offensive flow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
