James has shown growth as a two-way big man. He's long, wiry, and explosive, which allows him to utilize his athleticism to create advantages for himself around the basket. He is at his most effective when blocking shots, playing hard to outwork opponents on the glass, and filling the lane in transition. He's a developing finisher and lob threat but doesn't require touches to impact a game. College coaches should be monitoring He as he continues to get stronger and refine his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3420316"],"_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-697146894b832"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Unranked to 92^nd</strong>…Given Josiah blend of IQ, size, and ability on both ends of the floor, it's easy to forget that he's a freshman at times. McClusky is a versatile offensive threat who can score from all levels, create for himself and others, and find opportunities with or without the ball in his hands. At 6-foot-4, he already possesses an impressive level of polish and general understanding of how to impact the game on both ends of the floor. McClusky is developing into an offensive threat for his age. However, he also stands out as a quality rebounder and defender who can guard multiple positions as needed. McClusky is already a developing talent, so it'll be fascinating to follow his continued development going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3420937"],"_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-697146894b884"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rounding out the group of NEW ADDITION, Khiyen is a young prospect that is working on solidifying himself as one of the top guards on the Eastern Shore. He's a capable of impacting the game on or off the ball. Tilgham is a solid spot-up option for who knows how to move without the ball, find open seams, and consistently burn opponents when given any space. He displays deep range and the ability to get his shot off basically whenever he needs. Tilgham also defends with nice energy and toughness at the point of attack. He's a major x-factor for the James M. Bennett program.</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":"LeTroy Durett","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_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":"DC International","_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-697146894b937"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the surprising team in the DC Division A with an overall 12-9 overall record and an 8-1in conference. LeTroy Durett as a freshman has showed to be a smart, well-rounded guard with the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Durett is comfortable dictating the action as a primary creator, setting up others, and applying scoring pressure from multiple levels. He displays quickness, craftiness, and a useful change of pace. Add in his scrappy defensive presence and activity on the glass, and it's easy to see what Jones brings to the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3420821"],"_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-697146894b98d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3420821' first='Craig' last='Russell'] is a developing as a freshman.
