Santos exploded for several three pointers and is someone who needs to be monitored heavy if he is hunting shots from deep. If his feet are set he is probably cashing in. Santos was also in the right spots on the floor to collect rebounds. He is a bit of a mismatch nightmare due to his versatility. He would be a great fit at the small college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2437132"],"_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-68f65b35ed173"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gum is a plug n play forward who is interchangeable at the 3 or the 4 spot in a multi-guard lineup. He does a nice job rebounding and putting himself in good spots to rebound. He did a nice job running the floor in transition. Gum scored easy buckets around the basket. He is someone who seeks out contact when on the attack when going baseline. Gum showed some flashes from behind the arc. He does a good job moving without the basketball. Gum also scored on the block. He should see traction from the small college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3014739"],"_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":3015549,"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f65b35ed1d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carter was one of the most active players I saw throughout the day at the jamboree. He plays a lot bigger than his size and makes a living inside of the paint. Carter can play the 3 through the 5 spot on the floor and can cover 1-5 on the defensive end. Carter is a threat to space floor and shoots a clean ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3014743"],"_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-68f65b35ed21a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nicholson is an electric scoring guard with nice positional size. He thrives getting paint touches and navigating his way to the rim. Nicholson scored the basketball in a plethora of ways. He sought out rebounds on the defensive end. His ability to score in the mid-range was shown throughout the event. He looks to track as a scholarship prospect with continued consistency. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3015140"],"_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-68f65b35ed25a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The swing-man from Estonia showcases his ability to grasp the game and plays with a high basketball IQ and great instincts to read and react on the fly. He is at his best when navigating to different spots off the bounce in transition. Pertel has no issue touching the paint and making plays for others. He also collected a fair share of rebounds. If he was on NBA 2K my player he would most defiantly have the dimer badge applied to him. He had no issue throwing alley-oops to teammates. I would assume once the next rankings come out he would be up for discussion for the best prospect in the state for the class of 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
