<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kuemper Catholic vs. Carroll was a heated rivalry game that was very competitive and came down to the last couple possessions.

He went to work in the post and punished defenders. His footwork stood out; he was able to spin and bump defenders, throwing off their timing and opening open angles for him to score over the defense. He was great at using his frame to shield off defenders, and he embraced contact on every post touch. He was especially great at using pump fakes to draw fouls and open lanes for himself to the rim. His threat as a post scorer made every pump fake he threw up very deadly and hard to stay down on. He converted and-1s and drew a heap of fouls in the lane due to this skill. He also drained a three from downtown and was very impactful as a pick-and-pop big man. Overall, he was a constant force on the glass, bringing down many rebounds and finishing put-backs. Defensively, he was a monster in the post. He constantly pushed opponents trying to post up way out of the paint and contested many shots. He was a very switchable defender in this game and was the anchor for Kuemper Catholic's defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3255087"],"_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-694f6f8ad9a8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3255087' first='Lual' last='Tharjiath'] showed his freak athleticism throughout this game. He was an absolute force in the paint and around the rim on both sides of the ball. He attacked defenders in the post and converted many post hooks, while also drawing many fouls around the rim. His post scoring ability combined with his elite vertical is the cause of his foul-drawing abilities. He flat out overwhelms defenders to the point they are forced to hack him. He was also insane on the glass in this game. He brought down a bountiful amount of rebounds on both sides of the floor with his length and leaping abilities. He mostly got offensive rebounds, though. On one of these offensive boards, he slammed through the rim with tons of power. His ability to vault through the air also allowed him to block many shots. He blocked jump shots on the perimeter and protected the rim. He chased down an opponent on the fast break and smacked his shot off the glass. His speed and fluidity really stood out on that play. Overall, he was an elite defender with his length, speed, agility, and leaping ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2519974"],"_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-694f6f8ad9aef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2519974' first='Jack' last='Badding'] put on a clinic from behind the arc in this game. Jack's release is insanely fast and efficient. His mechanics as a shooter are on point, and he hit shots from distance routinely in this game. He was a constant worry for the opposing defense and still hit many shots from outside, while also spacing the floor for his teammates. His shooting threat created many hard closeouts from defenders, allowing him to attack downhill. His body control and touch really stood out around the rim, as he was able to finish tough reverse layups through thickets of defenders with ease. He was great as a passer in this game as well, always keeping the ball moving. He was also great at handling the ball and creating plays. He did all of this while being a very engaged defender who got in the passing lanes for steals and made life difficult for every matchup he was tasked with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Trey Tassell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Carroll","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694f6f8ad9ba9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trey Tassell scored at every level in this game. He lit it up from downtown, hitting many threes. He was a sniper off the catch and showcased a clean release from deep. He barely missed from outside in this game and showed an ability to be a quick-draw shooter. Defenders could not give him space for this reason, and he used that to his advantage by attacking the rim. He was elite at finishing at high speeds and keeping his touch in check around the rim while doing so. This ability to finish at high speeds allowed him to draw many fouls, as defenders struggled to stay in front of him, and he was great at using his frame to initiate contact. His defense also stood out, mostly due to his versatility, taking on many different matchups and playing great help defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2413647"],"_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-694f6f8ad9c02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2413647' first='Mac' last='Collison'] did a little bit of everything in this game. He was great as a three-point shooter and floor spacer for the offense, and he was great at using his bend and flexibility to stretch out and finish tough looks around the rim through defenders. His best skill offensively was his passing. He made many great reads at high speeds and kept the ball moving at all times. He was elite at running actions and making reads based on the defense's reactions, and overall, he was a great initiator of the offense. He was a great defender in this game. He locked up opposing guards and played great help defense, while also getting in the passing lanes for many steals and deflections.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
