Whether it was catching the ball and working from the post, fighting for offensive rebounds and second-chance points, or getting to the rack off the dribble, they just didn't seem to have a consistent answer for him. Jordan has a decent handle and some solid footwork, which allows him to be that well-rounded offensive threat. He also plays bigger than his size inside the paint because of how relentless he is. Smith Berry finished with a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double in the win. </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":"AJ Williams","_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":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Woodmont","_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-693a31c43177f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The man running the show from the Point Guard position is Williams. He brings a great balance of passing and scoring whenever he's on the court, keeping defenses guessing as to when to stay home on shooters or when to collapse around his drives. AJ has very good vision and is particularly impressive with tight-window passes, which are often to his big man, Smith Berry. Despite his size, Williams is able to finish inside the three-point line with floaters and mid-range pull-ups. He had 12 points and 4 assists for the Wildcats in this one. </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":"Justin Downs","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Woodmont","_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-693a31c431814"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another key to the Woodmont win was the shooting ability of Justin, who had 13 points on 2 3PM in the win. Downs is very comfortable hitting outside shots off the dribble and has a super shifty handle, which works to create space for him to pull the trigger. He will also work hard on the defensive end and can turn defense into offense with steals and scores. He hit key shots throughout the second half, but none more important than the jumper off an offensive rebound to tie the game and send it to overtime. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2299084"],"_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-693a31c431889"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tuesday's leading scorer was Fountain Inn's McDowell, tallying 18 points. He should have no reason to hang his head, as he played a ton of minutes, scrapped for loose balls and rebounds on both ends of the floor, and was super active without the ball on the offensive end. Aaden had multiple back-door cuts that led to fouls, including one where he finished through the contact for an and-1. McDowell can score in many ways, whether it's off designed actions, catch-and-shoot jumpers, or even touches in the post when he works against a smaller matchup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2388867"],"_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-693a31c4318d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2388867' first='Lucas' last='Eubanks'] rounds out the standouts from Fountain Inn's only matchup with cross-county rival Woodmont this season. He was a big reason why the Fury were in it late, as the offense ran smoothly whenever it ran through him. Eubanks does a good job of finding cutters and shooters, but he can also get to the rim or his spots in the mid-range and score himself. On the defensive end, he may not be the biggest or the fastest, but Lucas is a very smart player who will punish mistakes by turning them into points in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
