He can play on or off the ball offensively, has the ability to score it at multiple levels, and shows a good feel for the game as a decision maker with the ball in his hands. On the defensive end of the floor, he guards up and down a lineup, rebounds in space and in traffic, and has the ability to make plays that lead to turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2408951"],"_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-692f9862b5af4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lafayette, a junior wing out of <em>Peoples Academy</em>, should be a breakout candidate this winter with the potential to lead the state in scoring. He has plus athleticism, good positional size, and the ability to fill up a stat sheet in a variety of ways. He thrives with the ball in his hands, showing that he can make tough shots from all over the floor, while also being able to create for others off the bounce. Defensively, he does a great job of making an impact on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568509"],"_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-692f9862b5b64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buckley, a junior wing out of <em>Burlington High School</em>, is the type of prospect that makes his mark with his ability to shut down opposing scorers. He has good size, great length, and the ability to guard up and down a position. He hounds opposing ball-handlers, limiting their ability to get to scoring spots, and creating turnovers at a high rate. Offensively, he's an athletic rim finisher that also shows a good feel for the game as an off-ball mover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2711385"],"_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-692f9862b5c49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Casey, a junior wing out of <em>St. Johnsbury Academy</em>, will fill a lead role for his squad this winter as a versatile offensive prospect that can get buckets in the paint and from the perimeter. He has good length, the ability to make shots from behind the arc, and the ability to make plays for others as a passer. Defensively, he does a nice job of guarding in space, moves his feet well laterally to stay in front of the ball, and has quickness when shooting gaps to create steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tomorrow, we'll take a look at the <em>Forwards to Watch</em> in the VPA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
