Niles Mason is a 6-foot-3 prospect in the Class of 2029. Between his athleticism, physical tools, and unselfish approach, he found several ways to standout in this one day combine. Mason was arguably at his best getting downhill or applying pressure in transition. He moves well without the ball and puts himself in positions to score from multiple levels. Mason defends with toughness and rebounds at a nice rate for his size. He shows a solid willingness to make hustle plays. Next in his development process is working on his consistency as a three-point shooter, as it would make him a more complete player. Niles is a good player despite his age he has a good IQ and is an unselfish team player but was a little passive and didn't do a whole lot to assert himself in this setting.” Mason highlighted some nice flashes during the combine and should be a difference-maker for The Steward School this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470566"],"_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-68f8361adbc37"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Every time I watch Brady play he always looks the part of a sound all around guard that knocks down perimeter (3pt) shots at a high rate. Burnette continues to impress with his steadiness and ability to contribute in every facet of the game. A dependable, well-rounded two-way guard who understands the game, he rebounds, moves the ball, and found scoring chances within the flow of the offense during the one-day combine. His unselfishness and maturity were clear strengths.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Nicholas Cannon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cannon School (NC)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2078500' first='Garner' last='Road']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f8361adbce2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cannon is a rangy and fearless wing who consistently finds ways to make plays. He excels at creating off the bounce, attacking downhill with confidence, and getting to his preferred spots on the floor. Despite his size, Cannon displays impressive strength and body control, finishing through contact and against length. His toughness, craftiness, and ability to produce against pressure make him a prospect college coaches will want to keep a close eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2476230"],"_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-68f8361adbd3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sleek guard with size. Miller is a steady and efficient performer who impacts the game in multiple ways. He plays with great control, never forces the action, and consistently makes the right reads. Miller can score both on and off the ball, showing a smooth shooting touch from the perimeter and the ability to finish strong around the rim. His poise, versatility, and feeling as a secondary playmaker make him a reliable and productive piece every time he steps on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353620"],"_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-68f8361adbd98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tomlin has transferred to John Marshall HS in Richmond, Virginia. Tomlin is an intriguing athletic prospect with clear offensive upside. He's already shown flashes of being a reliable scoring option, displaying good instincts and confidence on the floor. As he continues to develop and expand his overall game, Tomlin's blend of skill, feel, and scoring potential (Consistent perimeter shot away) makes him a player to monitor closely in Virgina's 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194508"],"_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-68f8361adbde0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Banks is a confident, well-rounded guard who plays with pace and poise. At 6'3, he utilizes his size and athleticism to push the tempo, finish in transition, and create space off the dribble. Banks moves fluidly across the floor, consistently impacting the game with his energy and competitive mindset. His blend of control, versatility, and aggression makes him a reliable producer and a prospect to keep tabs on moving forward. I thought Josiah was one of smoothest players at the event played in long sweatpants. Moves up/down the floor fluidly and used his long arms the passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f8361adbe25"} /-->
