He had four three pointers and had a game high 31 points. Salisbery scored the ball at all three levels. Salisbery likes to hoist up difficult shots and was able to convert on more than a few. He made a few trips to the foul line and went 7 from 9 from the charity stripe. Salisbery showed some flashes as a facilitator and got his teammates involved for scoring chances. He was in nice spots to get rebounds. He needs to become more protective of the basketball because he tends to turn it over more than a few times. He found ways to turn defense to offense. There were a few times in the game I thought he forced some shots and I felt like if he waited he may have scored an easier bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2632625"],"_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-692ce9b3359c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is a long-armed forward who didn't always need to score to make is impact felt on the game. He did a nice job contesting shots. Davis is a versatile defender who can cover ground with ease. He needs to improve from three which is one of the biggest weaknesses in his game. He made a ton of trips the foul line and did a nice job seeking out contact. Davis finished with 12 points in the win. He is a prospect who should be on the radars of small colleges, junior colleges, and prep schools. His best basketball is still ahead of him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2933624"],"_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-692ce9b335a42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson-Hanson is a rugged undersized forward who makes his living on the interior. He is in good spots to gather rebounds. Amir is a threat to score from the mid-range, and can make you pay if you leave him open. He finished with 10 points in the loss. He finished with 10 points in the loss. He needs to improve on using less hands on defense and walling up inside to prevent not getting into foul trouble or even fouling out of the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2857769"],"_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-692ce9b335ab5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith stuffed the stat sheet with his play and showed that he can play on or off the basketball. He added 10 points and is an effective secondary scorer for Penn Wood. Smith showed that he can space the floor by knocking down a shot from behind the arc. He also showed flashes as a <font color="#000000"><span>facilitato</span></font>r by finding teammates for scoring chances of their own. He is a prospect to keep an eye on for the coming years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3151613"],"_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-692ce9b335b24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Edwards is an old school forward who would be a first ballot hall of fame in the noon time hoops league. He has a nice arsenal of moves around the bucket which he can pull out whenever he needs to score. He is a sneaky good passer who can find others for scoring chances. You can run offense through him throughout the game. Edwards excels in the half-court. He had a team high 17 points in the win over McCaskey. Edwards has no issue finding rebounds. He also converted on a few foul shots. One thing I am curious about is how well he can shoot from behind the arc, he didn't look to shoot once from there yesterday. Edwards would be a nice get at the small college level, junior college, or the prep school level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3151641"],"_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-692cef3eb0c73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Patterson is a productive undersized center who does whatever is needed to help the good of the team. He was active on the glass and found rebounds. He was in good spots on the floor to score easy buckets. He could improve on his touch but that will come with time. He has good timing going up to alter shots. He finished with 10 points in the loss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3151676"],"_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-692cef3eb0d44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James used his close proximity to the ground to collect several steals and was frequently turn defense to offense. He applies great ball pressure. He found others for easy buckets with his passing. James also chipped in 9 points. He has no issue being a glue guy for Penn Wood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
