ZG Prep Classic: Saturday Standouts I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Action continued on last Saturday at Dana Barros Basketball Club, as the Zero Gravity Prep Classic kicked off the prep season in New England.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five prospects that caught our eye during Saturday's action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2875018"],"_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-693da8a472cbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rabie, a forward out of <em>Proctor Academy</em>, made his presence felt in the paint on both ends of the floor. The 6'11" forward is a throwback big that uses his frame to his advantage, carving out space on the block as both a scorer and rebounder. He sets solid screens, rolls hard to the rim, and has a massive catch radius. I was impressed with his motor and mobility in this setting, particularly on the defensive end of the floor where he covered ground more quickly than I anticipated he would.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2863128"],"_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-693da8a472d1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holness, a wing out of <em>Buckingham Browne &amp; Nichols</em>, has some intriguing tools and the ability to develop into a really nice prospect. The long lefty is a plus athlete that does a great job of leveraging his ability to shoot the basketball to open up driving lanes. He has some wiggle off the bounce and does a good job of using his length to finish at the rim, while also showing that he can knock down shots in bunches from behind the arc. Defensively, he can guard up and down a position and is active on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2407063"],"_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-693da8a472d65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shepard, a wing out of <em>Tabor Academy</em>, stood out in his game set with his energy, effort, and activity level. The 6'4" wing has a solid frame and is playing with more assertivness, on both ends of the floor, than ever before. He shines defensively with his versatility and willingness to take on tough match-ups. He's strong enough to guard in the paint and mobile enough to keep guards out of it. Offensively, he does a great job of running the floor in transition and is a high level finisher at the rim as a slasher and cutter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1484016"],"_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-693da8a472db8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wooley, a forward out of <em>Choate Rosemary Hall</em>, caught our eye with his offensive versatility and the fluidity of his game. The future <em>Yale Bulldog</em> can space the floor with his shooting ability, operate as a decision maker out of the high post, or take advantage of his 6'9" frame and plus length as a low block scorer. Defensively, he does a nice job of using his length to his advantage, particularly as a rim protector. He's vocal on that end of the floor and is capable of switching screens in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2857842"],"_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-693da8a472dfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camacho, a guard out of the <em>Brunswick School</em>, was a standout on Saturday that played bigger than his size and with a high level of energy. He's an attacking guard that did a great job of getting to his spots off the bounce, showed impressive vision as a passer when the help defender came, and was capable of making contested shots late in the clock. Defensively, he's another guard that can hound opponents in space, using his combination of size, quickness, and strength to make opponents fight for every inch of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part II of the <em>Saturday Standouts</em> will be released later today!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
