Sophomore ID Camp: Team 8 Overview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We hosted the Sophomore ID Camp at Gold Crown on September 7th, bringing together over 140 players from across the state to compete and showcase their abilities. The energy in the gym was high, with plenty of talent on display and several prospects making their mark. Here's a look at the sophomores from Team 8 who stood out during the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2531923"],"_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-68c1bcda6dc90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson impressed at the showcase with size and versatility. He punished smaller guards on the block with a back-to-the-basket game, yet showed he could also handle the ball a bit more than expected as well. He scored efficiently, created mismatches, and did the little things to help his team get wins, and had chemistry with teammates as he plays the right way. Robinson's blend of strength and skill checked plenty of boxes, making him a player worth following, and he gets better on every showing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2842561"],"_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-68c1bcda6dd2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kay showed why his stock continues to rise. He controlled the paint, rebounded effectively, and scored inside with strength. He competed physically, using his motor to win position and finish. His activity and toughness make him a consistent interior presence, and every viewing suggests he continues to improve. Kay is a strong forward with upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528305"],"_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-68c1bcda6dda2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nicholson's size and versatility stood out at the showcase, and I feel that there's a VERY high ceiling to him. He's skilled enough to put the ball on the floor and knock down threes, which makes him one of the most versatile players in the class, but he flashes stretch big potential if he continues to grow. In drills, he looked dominant, and he also is not just gunning for points the entire time, but rather letting the game come to him. When aggressive, Nicholson's tools allow him to control matchups. An aggressive Greg is the best Greg — he has the skill to separate himself, just want to see him stay in that mode.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2451386"],"_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-68c1bcda6de15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hargrove brought energy and hustle to the event, and that right there is half of the battle. He rotated defensively, moved the ball quickly, and provided non-stop activity, which led to easy baskets for himself and teammates. His willingness to do the little things like crash boards, defend, and keep the ball moving made him an effective role player. Hargrove's motor and unselfishness stood out in a setting where many focused on scoring, proving he's a player every team needs. I liked what I saw from him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
