ZG Prep Classic: Saturday Standouts II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was a ton of action at Dana Barros on Saturday, with games being play on three courts from mid-morning through the evening.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five more prospects that stood out on Saturday:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341411"],"_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-693dada64fe7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin, a guard out of <em>Wilbraham &amp; Monson Academy</em>, stood out in his game set with his ability to make tough shots from behind the arc. The 6'4" guard has leaned out, allowing him to play with more wiggle and burst as a driver, while continuing to show the ability to be a high level shooter from behind the arc. Martin does a nice job of moving without the basketball, uses screens to his advantage, and turns down good shots to go after great ones. He competes on the defensive end of the floor and offers some upside as a rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2878625"],"_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-693dada64ff11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Farrell, a guard out of <em>St. Mark's School</em>, impressed with his two-way effort and ability to run the show on the offensive end of the floor. He played as hard as any guard we saw in the gym on Saturday, hitting the floor for loose balls, fighting through screens defensively, and making pushing the pace in transition as a ball-handler. He plays bigger than his frame, does a nice job of getting into the paint off the bounce, and is capable of making shots off the bounce or in catch and shoot situations. Overall, it's his ability to impact winning that stands out most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2955129"],"_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-693dada64ff9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crowdis, a guard out of <em>Bridgton Academy</em>, made his presence felt with his two-way athleticism and playmaking instincts. The big, 6'4" guard has a quick first step and covers a lot of ground with his long strides. He's a creative finisher around the rim, proving capable of scoring over the defense or through them. He makes good decisions as a passer, delivers the ball to his teammates in their scoring spots, and is a quality late shot clock scorer. Defensively, he stands out with his ability to make plays on the ball or in passing lanes, while creating turnovers at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2546901"],"_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-693dada64fffa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maiwen, a wing out of the <em>Knox School</em>, came back into New England and impressed with his improved skillset and ability to make an impact on the offensive end of the floor. One of the top wing athletes in the gym, he has put in considerable effort to improve his handle and perimeter jumper, knocking down multiple shots from behind the arc in the game we watch. He continues to be a high level offensive rebounder and incredibly versatile defender that makes plays in passing lanes, can defend in the full-court, and offers rim protection from the help-side.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396746"],"_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-693dada650054"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Webb, a forward out of <em>Deerfield Academy</em>, did a nice job of playing within himself and using his feel for the game to make an impact on both ends of the floor. The future <em>Williams Eph</em> has expanded his offensive game out to the three point line and did a nice job of attacking closeouts off the bounce to get into the paint, where he is capable of using his length as a finisher. He's an active two-way rebounder, does a nice job of being vocal on the defensive end of the floor, and continues to show better mobility and vertical athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coverage of the Zero Gravity Prep Classic continues tomorrow with more standouts from Saturday's action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
