He ran the floor as hard as any player I saw in transition, resulting in a handful of easy finishes at the rim. In the half-court he could beat you with a backdoor cut, showed he can attack with a straight line drive, and was aggressive crashing the offensive glass for second chance opportunities. Possesses the physical tools and work-rate to become a good player down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2693437"],"_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-68c164efdf014"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brayden was another long and athletic wing prospect on Team 3. He has a long frame at 6'2, with fluid athleticism to match. Early in the game he showed soft touch on his shot, getting into a mid-range jumper and knocking it down comfortably. Brayden ran the floor hard throughout the game, and picked up a nice assist after pulling in an offensive board and dishing it off. Part of a loaded group of underclassmen at Monona Grove. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2888388"],"_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-68c164efdf05d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dante had some nice moments defensively throughout the game. He's a gritty defender who was able to guard the 1-3 spots on the floor with his length and agility. He moved his feet well laterally to pressure the ball against smaller guards, and was able to wall up and protect the basket if a player tried to drive on him. Offensively he stepped out to hit a corner three, and also had a nice floater to finish over the top of a long defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2369939"],"_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-68c164efdf09f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden showcased an impressive combination of skill, size, and physical tools throughout the showcase on Saturday. As just a freshman he moves so well at 6'6-6'7, able to beat smaller players off the dribble, or bully opposing forwards around the basket. Really nice footwork for a freshman big, showing a nice face-up game out of the block and high post. Jayden played a lot of point-forward for his team, and was probably up there with the event leaders in assists, as he excelled at seeing the floor and setting up his open teammates. Towards the end of the game he was able to get out in the open floor and throw down a pair of dunks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2825049"],"_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-68c164efdf0e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2825049' first='Eli' last='Hoenisch'] provided an additional scoring punch for Team 3, and did so in a number of ways. The 6'1 wing showed some touch on his jumper as he knocked down a shot from the elbow, but he could also get to the basket. Eli had a nice finish off the drive, and also pulled in an offensive rebound leading to another bucket inside. At 6'1 he already has some length out on the wing, and is hard worker on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2956111"],"_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-68c164efdf121"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zach is an unselfish guard who liked to play fast on Saturday. The freshman out of Shoreland Lutheran was constantly looking to push the tempo after a steal or defensive rebound, and that pace of play led to some easy buckets for his team. I thought he did a nice job of seeing the floor and passing the ball ahead to his sprinting teammates. Defensively he was using his lateral quickness to pressure opposing guards hard out on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2898489"],"_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-68c164efdf15f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2898489' first='Quinn' last='Lewis'] was another hard working guard on Team 3. He has a motor that never seemed to stop on either end of the floor. In the half-court he had a hard cut off the ball that led to a finish inside, and all game long he was sprinting the floor in transition. That effort paid off as he sprinted back on the defensive end and was able to stop what would have been an easy transition bucket for the opposing team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2399570"],"_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-68c164efdf19e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another player who racked up a handful of assists for Team 3 was [player_tooltip player_id='2399570' first='Trever' last='Janicki']. The 5'8 guard sees the floor well, and showed impressive vision with an assist to a trailing teammate out in transition. He also dropped a dime out of a pick &amp; roll in the half-court, leading his forward perfectly to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2806613"],"_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-68c164efdf1dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camden has a very long and lanky frame that you can tell he's still growing in to. Offensively he was constantly setting screens to free up his teammates, and made some hard cuts off the ball. His combination of length and mobility allowed him to defender a number of spots on the floor, and his long arms caused problems up in the passing lanes. Intriguing long-term prospect as he continues to grow into and fill out his frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
