<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The annual Texas Jamboree, presented by Nelson Brand Sports, took place on Friday and Saturday at CE King HS and several prospects took the time to put media, scouts, and opposing teams on notice. Teams from all over Greater Texas made their way to the venue and aimed to start off their season on the right note. Let's examine the skillsets of some of these hoopers who put the basketball world on notice during Friday's slate of games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2558382"],"_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-692dc6030bba6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jzackery was the main playmaking point guard for SA Harlan in their close overtime game against BMT United. He showed that he can change pace of the offense efficiently under pressure and find open teammates for good looks at the basket. Deleon consistently used speed and smart decision making to help his team beat the full court press and I was impressed with his court vision and awareness as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2558848"],"_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-692dc6030bc07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kadyn was an interior force for Washington against PA Memorial and helped the War Eagles to keep the momentum in the paint the entire contest. He rebounded at a high clip on both ends, ran his lanes on fastbreaks effectively, and capitalized on mismatches. Barnes uses his height and athleticism to finish over the top of opponents as well as having IQ when to pass out and when to post up. He also has good hustle for loose balls and knows how to play fundamental post defense under the rim. </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":"Chandler Miles","_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":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Killeen Ellison","_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-692dc6030bccf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chandler notched a near double-double in a close game against Shadow Creek and used his height to take away second chance point opportunities for the opposition, coming away with 4 blocks in this contest. He is good off the pick and roll going to the basket and uses his athleticism and wingspan effectively to alter opponent's shots and open up the paint for his team to get tough buckets. Miles runs the role of a big man effectively on fastbreaks and thundered home several dunks to keep the game within reach. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767873"],"_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-692dc6030bd20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brandon was a top scorer for the Shadow Creek Sharks in their home victory over the Ellison Eagles. He demonstrated ability to score from all three levels and pushed the pace on transition opportunities when his team needed a bucket. Showing a ton of potential as only a 2029 varsity hooper, BJ made his way onto my radar with a standout performance this contest and put himself into my top prospect list conversation this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556271"],"_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":3157306,"_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692dc6030bd99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eric made clutch shot after clutch shot in Height's Friday evening game and hit the buzzer beating shot to go to extra quarters. He knows how to make athletic, tough buckets off the catch and shoot or the dribble pull up and is an effective combo guard who makes good decisions with the ball in his hands in crunch time. I really enjoyed watching him pick apart opposing defenses and come through for his team in the clutch when they either needed a stop or a score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
