<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These were a few seniors who stood out with their play on day 1 of the Governors Challenge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2251708"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3271201,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-694f4ec116288"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tolbert touched the game in many different facets for his Cristo Rey squad. He was assertive on the glass shagging double digit rebounds. He connected on three 3 pointers in the win. Tolbert was in good spots on the floor to score on offensive chances. He plays with an immense deal of energy and is a veteran of the Cristo Rey group. Tolbert used his quickness to get steals and turn defense to offense. He would be a great pickup at the junior college level and the small college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2612817"],"_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-694f4ec116307"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Byrd impressed for his Tuscarora team despite playing most of his time off the ball and him having to play a lot of forward due to his teams lack of size. He was very flexible doing whatever he squad needed for them to help win. He had several assists throughout the game and has no issue being a break starter and throwing full-court passes. Byrd took whatever the defense gave him and made a living out of the mid &amp; low post. His ability to play above the rim was also seen. He wasn't a dead-eye from behind the arc but was able to cash in on a chance from deep. Byrd is a prospect MM-/LM+ coaches need to prioritize.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2983588"],"_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-694f4ec116374"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harvin is an electric guard who stole the show with his ability to light up the scoreboard with his scoring outburst. He lived in the paint and had nice touch inside. Harvin also connected of several threes. He has a good grasp for where his teammates are on the floor and had a ton of assists. Harvin finished with a game high 29 points in the loss. He would be a nice pickup at the small college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2352457"],"_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-694f4ec1163de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really liked the way that Denis impacted the game for his Dover squad. He made several shots from behind the arc and cannot be left open. His balanced stat line versus WiHi (MD) jumped off the page to me. Denis used his length to be in passing lanes to gather steals and shag rebounds. Denis plays with a lot of energy on both ends of the floor. He has the ability to connect with his teammates for scoring chances of their own. He would be a great get at the scholarship level, junior college level, 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":["2944407"],"_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-694f4ec116458"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hayward is a rangy swingman who found different ways to stay relevant in the game. He has a nose for scoring on the interior and is a walking double-double without a play being drawn up. I like how he sought out contact on the attack and made a handful of trips to the foul line. He could become a more consistent threat from deep but showed he can make the occasional one. Hayward would be a great fit at the two year level or at a prep school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
