The Expo Evaluations: Part 2

In part two of the evaluations we dig a little bit deeper and and take a look at more players with potential that showed up to The Expo and showed their hard work on the court. Here are some players that displayed high level potential through their performance.    Jayki Frank hit my notes page as the kid that kept getting buckets. He plays with an attitude like he has something to prove and he was aggressive the entire showcase. He was active on and off the ball constantly working to push the pace of every competition. He is a shot maker, and can hit shots from several spots on the court. He is also a fearless player and kept taking his game right to the paint. His ability to compete in a gym of hoopers and standout is a testament of his skill. Give him the ball and something good will happen.       Durell Sanders Jr is an athletic wing that can also handle the ball like a guard. Sanders is not a ball dominant player, but he constantly moves without the ball giving guards an option as a weapon. He runs the floor really well and can be counted to finish when he is going to the goal. His skill is obvious. He is an all around player with exceptional athleticism that can make plays in several different ways.     [player_tooltip player_id='2472435' first='Maddox' last='McCorkle'] was one of the most skilled players at the showcase. Maddox took the time to showcase every skill that he has in his arsenal. Maddox can play the point guard position in any gym. He is a high IQ guard with an eye for basketball. Very few players can think the game and see plays before they happen. His precision passes kept his team mates in position to thrive. He is also a shooter. If he can see the goal, he can make the shot. Maddox is also a wizard with the ball in his hands. His use of deception and hesitations kept defensive players confused and he is an elite mid range shooter, along with using the floater like a pro. Maddox is fearless, constantly challenging bigger players to try and stop him. Bet on this kid. He is a gamer.     [player_tooltip player_id='2532362' first='Austin' last='Drew'] is a sneaky player that can really shoot the ball. Watching him play you can see that he is skilled. He does all the right things on the court, and looks to facilitate before scoring the ball. After watching him play in both games, you can see that he is a shooter. He is an unselfish player, but has the ability to knock down shots is his elite ability. As he continues to gain confidence and take more shots, his production will surely increase.     [player_tooltip player_id='2529000' first='Tyler' last='Brazier'] is one of those players that just has a nack for the game. He plays the game with flash and style, but also has the IQ to make smart plays consistently. He is an elusive gauard that is just hard to contain because he uses his imagination to experiment with the game. What is good about that? Well anything can happen, and it is always positive in the name of basketball. He uses the entire floor as his playground and controls the pace by making passes to players moving without the ball. In moments of self gratification, he will go score and good luck guessing how he will do it. Brazier is more than a basketball player, he is a hooper that is ready to lead a basketball team.    More to come as we continue to dive into player performance and break down evaluations.
