<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another batch of 2027s who made some noise with their play last week at Gov Challenge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2027757"],"_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-695bb8160f27c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nunez impressed in transition and picked up an ample amount of buckets while running the floor. He has a knack for scoring and when he is in a groove good luck stopping him. I want to see him play off two more on the attack and use jump stops. Nunez was assertive on the glass and found ways to rebounds. He showed some flashes making others better as a passer but is more of a two guard than one. Time and time again he found ways to be in lanes to come up with steals. He is a prospect who would be a great fit at the low to mid level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2234305"],"_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-695bb8160f3a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bonetemps is an electric floor general who is very captivating whenever he steps onto the floor. He touches the game in all facets and processes the game at a high level. Bontemps does a great job setting others up for success on the offensive end with his ability to facilitate. His ability to badger opposing offenses and turn defense to offense is one of his best traits as a player. He will see a handful of division ones knocking down his door down through the grassroots season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2462304"],"_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-695bb8160f4b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Okebata is a physical downhill thumper who can play a plethora of positions. Whenever he has the ball in his hands there is a chance he can make loud play. He uses his strong build to bully his way past defenders and seek out contact. He is an assertive defender who applies good ball pressure which can lead to turnovers. He scored 20 points in an overtime win over La Salle (RI). One thing I want to see Okebata improve on is his consistency from behind the arc. He is a prospect who should garner interest from northeast low majors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2770638"],"_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-695bb8160f5aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sherwood impressed with his ability to make plays with the basketball. He plays at a speed where he doesn't get sped and can lure defenders to sleep with his ability to change gears when you least expect it. He found different ways to score the basketball and was a supportive scorer for his Loughlin team in a win over Imani Christian (PA). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2815039"],"_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-695bb8160f6a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nix was a captivating prospect for his Sherwood (MD) squad. He was able to touch the game in many different ways. He was assertive when he is playing out of the mid and high post areas on the floor. Nix is a willing screener and is constantly on the move when on the offensive end. Nix is an assertive switcher on defense and uses his length to exploit smaller guards and can force them to turn the basketball over. Nix also showed off his athleticism by playing around the rim. His game reminds me of a players in the 90s. Nix has the ability to score off the bounce using his in-between game. He tracks as a scholarship prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
