He excels in rebounding, defensive effort, and quickly transitions from defense to offense, always looking for opportunities to push the ball and score going to the rim. With a reliable jump shot and a genuine love for the game, Parrish plays with intensity and resilience, making him a tough opponent. Keep an eye on him this season, he is poised for a breakout senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2861476"],"_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":2960963,"_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-68bfa7d9a7f74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talbert is an athletic guard easily recognizable for his intensity on defense and his physical style of play. While he can shoot, he prefers to attack the rim in offensive situations, making him a nightmare for defenders expecting finesse. When he catches the ball, Talbert quickly makes decisions and often leans into his physical game, with the ability to get both feet in the lane effortlessly and finish with either hand. His high basketball IQ, athleticism, and strong finishing ability combine to make him a well-rounded performer. Playing a tough, physical brand of basketball, Talbert has the potential to make significant noise this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2473691"],"_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-68bfa7d9a803d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beau is part of a rising movement of high-IQ guards who excel at shooting, play with poise, and demonstrate a deep understanding of the game. A spunky and energetic guard, he can knock down shots and aggressively attack the paint, finishing with either hand. Beau plays with confidence and clearly enjoys every moment on the court. As a lead guard, he can handle the ball or play off the ball, and his solid performance at the expo against some of the top talent in the state underscores his potential and readiness for the upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2900350"],"_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-68bfa7d9a80de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Armstrong came to the expo to showcase two of his elite skills. His ability to handle the ball and his ability to hit shots. As I made my notes, the one thing that was clear is that he can get into his one dribble pull up, and he can knock down the three ball. He is efficient with the ball and uses his dribbles to set up his jump shot. He gets high off the floor with a high release and it always looks like it is going in. It is clear that he has put in the time getting reps and it all showed up during the showcase. Anyone on the market for a shooter, can stop and take a look at Armstrong. He is a shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[2532386],"_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":2960950,"_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-68bfa7d9a81ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This was my first time evaluating Liam and he is a clear prospect because of his obvious athleticism and ability to handle the ball. He is at his best in open court situations largely because he does not shy away from contact and anything could happen while he is getting downhill. He is a quick jumper which makes him a huge defensive threat. He rebounds at a high level in addition to his other qualities on the court. He has great size to match his athleticism and could be a big surprise in the rankings this upcoming season due to his skill and high upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are still more evaluations coming so stay tuned for more player spotlights and highlights recognizing Louisiana talent on the hardwood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
