<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Readers: Use code Proia30 for discount at checkout</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every year Pro Skills Basketball DMV puts on a top tier showcase for small college prospects called the High Academic Showcase. Division III college coaches work the camp and develop relationships with the mostly-senior participants to give the prospects high-level coaching throughout the showcase. The 4-hour showcase takes the players through drill work, 3 on 3, and 5 on 5 competition. Let's tap in with our favorite players from the point and shooting guard positions!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2749973"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2957436,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68b7a6d71114b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Without a doubt the top performer from the showcase. Smooth lefty guard that makes good reads with the ball in his hands. Boone hit shots from all over the floor, didn't stick to one spot and was comfortable operating from either side of the floor. Willing passer that reads the floor and can execute whip passes off the bounce with either hand. Shows some good moxie and grit, isn't afraid of contact and sneaking in around the basket to steal away rebounds from bigs. Flies in routinely to grab loose balls or stick putbacks. Gritty on-ball defender that fights hard over screens, rotated well to fly in to block shots from the other side of the key. Boone seems like a prospect that performs well under pressure and doesn't shy away from taking big shots in key moments </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1963548"],"_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-68b7a6d7111a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Throwback point guard that plays with really good feel at both ends of the floor. Willing passer who sees the floor well and passes teammates open. Plays really hard, willing to mix it up with bigs in the paint for rebounds and makes them regret putting the ball on the floor in front of him after grabbing a rebound. Understands what kind of shot his team needs on each possession and patiently probes the defense waiting for someone to make a mistake. Found opportunities to race it 94 feet and weave through traffic to beat his matchup to the rim. Doing a great job of getting two feet in the paint and finding an open teammate with 1-handed dimes with either hand.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453752"],"_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-68b7a6d7111e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Making strong decisions with the ball in his hands, always seems to be scoring efficiently regardless of the environment that I see him in because he's a confident but unselfish shooter.&nbsp;Johnson can thrive both on or off the ball as a guard that can get his own within the flow of the game. Love his understanding of pace, when he needs to really push it in transition and when he needs to let teammates flow to the corners and fill the wings to get a good shot. The marriage of high efficiency shooting from the field whether he is shooting at a high or low volume makes him a valuable prospect to track as he heads into his senior year as the undisputed head of the snake for STM. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2893759"],"_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-68b7a6d711228"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Good feel as an on-ball driver that knows if his team needs him as a passer or scorer on that possession. Kebede creates space for jumpers really well off the bounce, love how smooth the dribble pickup is in the midst of sidesteps or stepbacks as he gets into his shooting motion really quickly off the bounce.&nbsp;He can get hot in a hurry and really fill it up as a 3-level scorer that doesn't need a ball screen to be effective. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2957433"],"_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-68b7a6d711266"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Fearless gunner that is decisive with his reads, did a great job of scanning the floor before the catch to find the right shot for his team. Shooting motion is fluid, compact and consistent regardless of how far he is from the rim.&nbsp;Sanon understands when he needs to let it fly and when he needs to quickly make the one-more pass to a teammate. Loved the unselfish play at both ends of the floor!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_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-68b7a91572396"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2547171"],"_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-68b7aa54c17de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Miller stood out as an unselfish 2/3 tweeter that was willing to fill whatever role his team needed to get a win. Miller used his good positional size and length to be a pesk defensively both on and off the ball, collecting deflections and picking passes out of midair to really disrupt offensive flow from his opponents. Thought he was especially dynamic in transition as a finisher around the rim because of how hard he sprinted the floor to get past the defense to collect easy 2-handed dunks. Want to see the handle improve more to operate in smaller spaces and weave through traffic as he will likely need to be a guard at the next level. Should be in for a huge role in his senior season with Ryken!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
