<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New readers: Use code Proia30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The annual Xaverian Classic always is a good opportunity to see top local talent square off against high-level teams from neighboring states as well as a few national teams from across the country. Within the classic there is a bracket play tournament as well as showcase games throughout the 3-day weekend that give the fans and media members a good mix of competitive matchups. Let's dive into the Dynamic Forwards from this event!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2352449"],"_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-6938676fe4066"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">28p 7r 1s 1b vs Carroll (DC)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Pretty dominant performance from N'Diaye as the East Stroudsburg commit took home MVP in a statement win for Neumann Goretti. N'Diaye started things off with a C2C drive and double clutch lay in transition after snagging the defensive rebound, showed his passing ability with a good one-more to a corner shooter from the ring and a baseline drive and kick to a shooter on the opposite wing, jumped a passing lane and went C2C again to score at the other end, hit a bump n floater off the window-- the instincts and reads in quick windows were impressive and what you expect out of a senior forward. His most impressive play came when he met a big at the peak for a block then drove it C2C again to finish with an AND1 inside hand finish at the rim. His ability to score around the rim and serve as a connector from the wings allowed NG to really break the game open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608273"],"_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-6938676fe4111"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">19p 9r 3a 3s vs Spalding</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-One of my favorite players to watch in this young season as a W/F tweener that does so much to impact winning. Moshinski started off the game with a deep 3, had a beautoful pocket pass off the bounce to his big, then almost converted a baseline spin reverse layup before he was fouled after grabbing the offensive rebound. His mix of perimeter shooting, above-the-rim finishing ability, and defensive versatility make him so valuable for this Father Judge team. Think that he's a prospect that will surprise some people with his play at the next level at Iona. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2853708"],"_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-6938676fe4196"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>16p 5r 1a vs Spalding</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Adedeji played sparingly in the first half but really gave FJ a HUGE boost in the 2H as an athletic forward prospect that finished well in tight windows around the basket and scored off several putbacks. His presence as a lob target and catch n finish big around the rim unlocks the play-making from FJ's stable of guards and opens up space for shooters on the perimeter. Loved that he willingly played his role but played within himself, passing out of vulnerable spots or double teams to keep the possession alive/give his teammates a high-percentage look. His athleticism, length, and positional size make him a prospect to know going forward for D1 coaches.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2780688"],"_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-6938676fe4216"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">8p 9r 2b 1a 1s vs G Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Wilson had really dynamic athletic flashes throughout an entertaining game against Georgetown Prep with both teams coming off a loss and looking to end the weekend on a positive note. Fought hard throughout the game against a 7' P5 commit and showed the aggression/feel to get around the big to deny post entries or deflect a ball out of bounds to negate the post position that his matchup gained--that type of IQ is not something you typically see from a big this young. Wilson hit a 3, scored on a bump n fade in the paint, high-pointed a block near the rim, and didn't stop playing hard throughout the game. His motor and IQ combined with the physical tools spell a bright future if his development continues on the same trajectory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3037282"],"_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":3191721,"_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-6938676fe42bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>12p 5r 2a 2s vs Father Judge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-A name that will definitely debut in our rankings pretty high in the next update, loved what I saw from Beng as a prospect that made the most of his minutes and played hard from start to finish. Beng came in off the bench in the 1H and was immediately productive with 4 points and 4 rebounds, then continued that productivity in the 2H to do what he could to protect the rim and close off possessions with a defensive rebound. His finishing touch and post moves are still raw, but he did a great job of rim-running in both directions in transition to give his guards a roll target offensively and a rim-deterrent at the defensive end of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
