PH The Expo: Team 2 Evals

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are continuing with our team-by-team breakdowns from the Prep Hoops Expo this past weekend. In this article, we focus on Team 2. Check out all our other team evaluations from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2732209' first='Myron' last='Canda'] | PG | Nathan Hale | 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's a quick guard who used that acceleration and agility to make an impact on both ends of the court. Worked hard defensively to stay in front, cut down gaps, and was quick to loose balls and long boards. Did a really nice job attacking gaps and looking to be aggressive early in possessions, and used his pace in transition to attack the defense before they got set up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140824' first='Jayce' last='Choi'] | PG | Capital | 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Had some good burst and balance to get out of his moves quickly and was able to get a lot of paint touches by beating his man on the perimeter. Willing passer off his drives and had some pretty creative dishes to find tight gaps. Was also pesky on the defensive end with some smart double teams and getting his hands in for some strips and pokes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1611575' first='Juleon' last='Horyst'] | SG | Cheney | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Guard who can score from different levels and showcased some good athleticism on both ends. Shot it well both off the catch and off the bounce, and had some nice separating moves in the midrange. Showed good hustle to get to shots from behind and get a couple of blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2948666' first='Zachary' last='Ward'] | SG | River Ridge | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Very balanced and solid guard who can take care of the ball and make smart decisions with it. Shot the three pretty well, played strong off two in the paint, and used well-timed ball fakes to get space inside. Showed some good potential as a secondary playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2548252' first='Jalen' last='Taylor'] | SF | Renton | 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big-time hustler and a wing who can provide some big plays with his athleticism and motor. Made several strong crashes for offensive boards and was a big factor in second-chance points. Also did a great job contesting shots and even racked up a few blocks in different areas on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2383539' first='Dominique' last='Harper'] | SF | River Ridge | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Very athletic forward who was a factor around the rim all day. Had some monster putbacks and finishes, going up to get some balls no one else was going to reach. Did a great job filling lanes in transition, timing his leaps on the glass, and made some athletic finishes to shift around defenders at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140818' first='Jack' last='Thompson'] | C | Seattle Prep | 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the legitimate post players at the showcase, Thompson did a great job keeping the ball high on his inside pickups, and did a good job being physical and working angles when spinning left or right off post-ups. Has the ability to hit away from the hoop too, and was effective in finding space off the roll to get good looks around the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
