Augare-Deal turned in a 17p 10r performance in a matchup on the road with Georgetown Prep, then followed it up with a 21p 17r performace against Archbishop Carroll. The ball skill development has really come a long way as he looks much more comfortable putting the ball on the floor, getting into his jumper off the bounce, and scoring with improved touch around the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3268747"],"_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-694c3994dea29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-A new name that will debut in our next set of updating rankings, the Howard transfer stood out as a developing 2/3 tweener that plays simple but effective basketball. His finishing bag around the rim has really improved as both his footwork and hands around the basket has taken a leap to score in traffic around the rim. Smith turned in productive 11p 5r and 15p 5r performances in matchups with Georgetown Prep and Archbishop Carrolll, cementing himself as a name to know in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2880727"],"_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-694c3994dea9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Hawkins has been on an absolute heater in the early stages of the season, with 30+ scoring outbursts in 4/10 games-- highlighted by a 37 point game against Clinton Grace Regional. Hawkins is a pretty nuclear shooter that can create his own shot off the bounce but has also really improved his movement shooting or simple C+S opportunities from both the midrange and 3 point levels. The handle has improved as has is burst OTB to make him more of a threat as not just a shooter but a scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2357976"],"_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-694c3994deb1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Love seeing Ayana operate from 18' feet and in is a prospect that can create his own shot, navigate through tight gaps in the defense to score or draw FTs, and be impactful/versatile on the defensive end of the floor as a prospect that excels on or off the ball. That versatility was on display most recently with a 32p 12r performance vs Clinton Grace Regional. Love see the skill development as a 3/4 tweener that has his best basketball ahead of him</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2540477"],"_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-694c3994deb94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Martin has stepped up this season as a key piece of the backcourt graduated or moved on to average 13p 5a 2s 1b on a nightly basis 10 games in. Martin is particularly effective as a cutter- taking advantage of his matchup turning their head in help position to cut to open space to serve as both a scorer and connector off the move. Martin also effectively uses his size and frame to power his way to his spots on the floor in the halfcourt. Excited to see how his recruitment shapes over his final season with the Knights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
