He has developed his three point shot and plays the game with an aggression that translates to the next level. He is a strong player with a big body that finishes around the rim with ease. He has the size to guard 2-4, and the agility to defend smaller guards on the perimeter. He is big, strong, quick and skilled making him a serous in state stock riser. It is obvious the work has been put in, and this season will be a sure introduction to folks around the state to his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3347812"],"_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-69695368d29a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sword jumps in the rankings as one of the biggest stock risers. He is a long and skilled player that in addition to having elite individual skills looks comfortable playing in a system. His active offensive game is built on moving without the ball and knocking down open shots. Defensively he is intense and relentless. He digs in on every possession. He is quick and athletic. Active and engaged. He is just a player to know and one of the reasons for Peabody and their stellar season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543705"],"_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-69695368d2a14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rideau is full grown and his came is complete. He is a legit 6'3+ and whenever he is on the court it looks like something exciting is going to happen. Players with that sort of energy are fun to watch and easy to scout for next level play. He can shoot from any spot on the court but is at his best when his athleticism and quick pull up is on display. He is a long guard and uses that length to frustrate other guards making him a threat on both sides of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466999"],"_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-69695368d2a88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Segura continues to impress with his size, agility and overall game. He is a big guard that can stretch the floor, but he is at his best when he is aggressive and getting to the rim. His frame allows him to finish through contact with ease and this season he is shooting the mid-range shot with more efficiency. Segura is playing the game the right way and giving opposition the blues. He is a Top 25 prospect with even more upside that will play next level basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543668"],"_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-6969baf14447c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Evans is off to a great start to the season and picked up right where he left off last season. His already deep range shot is even more efficient and his IQ is always on full display when watching him utilize his team mates. He works hard on both sides of the ball and as a PG runs his offense like a vet. Evans will surely run a team at the next level after he graduates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are just getting started with our player spotlights.
