<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On November 19th, CATS Academy's EYBL Scholastic squad played Tilton School and beat them 90-72 on their home court in Braintree, MA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are some standouts from the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341352"],"_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-692cd2c10bb15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Terry was pretty easily the best player on the court in last week's game. The 6-foot-5 guard dominated on both ends and showcased an incredibly well-rounded skillset. Offensively, he scored from all three levels and was impossible to stop; once you sell out to stop his three-point shooting, he starts getting into the lane at will and making floaters and jumpers. He also has good passing vision and can even score in the post on smaller players. Defensively, the senior has amazing hands and slides his feet quite well to stay in front of opposing guards. Terry will be an awesome piece for Loyola Chicago next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341319"],"_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-692cd2c10bbaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mitrovic looks to have really improved his game since the AAU season. He finally realized that he can simply raise the ball above his shoulders and get easy shots off if he wants; he did this on multiple occasions and was too big and long for opposing forwards to contest. His touch and feel in the paint makes this a really difficult shot to stop. Defensively, the near 7-footer brings great rim protection and is very disciplined on that end. Mitrovic should be garnering looks from tons of D1 schools and is going to be on a good squad to showcase his two-way skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3033613"],"_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-692cd2c10bc31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Valters is in a dream situation with CATS. He has scorers and lob threats everywhere and is having quite a field day with his passing vision and floor general capabilities. The 6-foot-3 guard has an amazing feel and great discernment in the pick and roll when it comes to picking his spots to be aggressive vs. getting his teammates involved. He can shoot it from three, he has great floater touch, and he has surprisingly solid speed and burst to the hoop. He'll only continue to build chemistry with his new teammates and should be garnering scholarship looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2875609"],"_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-692cd2c10bcae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Otto Mae is an incredibly intriguing prospect. Though he didn't have his best shooting night against CATS, the 6-foot-8 forward brings lots of very interesting skills to the table. He handles it very well for his size, he makes great spray out passes when he touches the paint, and he moves like a guard in virtually all facets of the game. He's going to have way better days ahead and is probably going to be one of the more impactful players and scorers for Tilton this year if I had to guess. Very bright future ahead for Otto Mae.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470876"],"_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-692cd2c10bd29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Diaby is incredibly raw, but he could be a super special player once he puts everything together fully. The 6-foot-11 forward has insane length and therefore contests virtually every shot at the rim. He even showed some flashes of spin moves and touch in the lane, which could be quite an incredible development for him if he continues improving there. He didn't have his best shooting game against CATS, but better days are certainly ahead for the young buck. Very bright future for the sophomore, who is probably already on scholarship radars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
