He competes on every possession, showing toughness on both ends and a willingness to take on bigger matchups without backing down. His ability to stay composed under pressure and make the right read gives him value. Continued growth as a perimeter shooter will enhance his impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2989061"],"_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-68eaf8459e56d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Figures is a late-blooming shooting guard who continues to carve out his identity as a perimeter threat. He shows a smooth stroke with touch from deep, giving him value as a floor spacer when the ball swings his way. His confidence as a shooter is evident. The key for him will be in the weight room, where he should add muscle to absorb contact and defend against stronger guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2989066"],"_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-68eaf8459e5b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For a younger prospect, Cox already shows advanced confidence with the ball in his hands. He's crafty, creative, and not afraid to attack gaps. He is a willing passer and shows a varsity-level shooting ability. As he matures physically and adds strength, his ability to finish through contact and control tempo will take his game to another level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2989065"],"_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-68eaf8459e5fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hampton is a young guard with a scorer's mentality, always looking to create off the dribble and showing a natural feel for getting downhill. What stood out most was that he was the youngest player in the gym, but you couldn't tell. He stayed locked in and extremely coachable throughout the event. Given his current trajectory, Hampton carries high upside as a prospect to track closely in the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2989062"],"_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-68eaf8459e644"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCann brings energy and an open mind to the floor, showing flashes as a shot-maker and competitor. He's not afraid of the moment and plays with a chip on his shoulder as a smaller guard. As his ball-handling grows with his confidence and his frame develops, he has the tools to grow into a reliable shooting guard option.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
