A versatile scorer, the 6'6" forward knows how to get it done in and outside of the paint. He's capable of scoring with his back to the basket, has improved his range out to the three point line, and does a nice job of rim running in transition. Defensively, he rebounds it at a high clip and even offers some rim protection.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568538"],"_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-692a412742a6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roidoulis, a junior forward out of <em>Windham High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 10.9 points per game and helped lead his team to a 10-8 record. The 6'5" forward does a nice job of using his frame to his advantage, playing with strength on the block and displaying touch around the rim as a scorer. He can turn over either shoulder to finish, runs the floor well in transition, and has a high motor on the offensive glass. Defensively, he is a strong rebounder that does a nice job of walling up without fouling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2818571"],"_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-692a412742ab5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams, a senior forward out of <em>Hollis-Brookline High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 12.5 points per game and helped lead his team to a 13-4 record. The 6'6" forward is a plus athlete that has rapidly developed his skill with the ball in his hands. His versatility shows through on both ends of the floor, as he's capable of guarding any position, excels as a two-way rebounder, and can finish plays in and out of the paint offensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2898403"],"_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-692a412742b08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hall, a senior forward out of <em>Alvirne High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 11.8 points per game and helped lead his team to a 13-5 record. He's one of the top rebounders in the state and will be a nightly double-double threat this winter. He scores with either hand around the basket, has the ability to make shots in the mid-range, and doesa good job of rolling hard to the rim out of screens. On top of that, he offers some rim protection on the other end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2696693"],"_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-692a412742b4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ferola, a senior forward out of <em>Portsmouth High School</em>, is coming off of a season in which he averaged 5.8 points per game and helped lead his team to a 15-3 record. The 6'4" forward is a strong rebounder that does a nice job of playing angles and of using his strong base to box opponents out. Offensively, he's tough on the glass, is able to finish over size with either hand, and can even attack the rim from the perimeter as a straight line driver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We continue our preview series tomorrow with a look at guards out of Massachusetts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
