Cox has a nice layup package inside. He picks and chooses which spots and angles to use and converts easy buckets. Cox also was in good spots to collect rebounds. He was effective playing the two man game and reads and reacts to situations on the fly. His ability to get the ball and find ways to go coast to coast was seen throughout the game. Cox found a handful of his teammates for scoring chances of their own throughout the game . He finished with 14 points.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2905382"],"_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-695d11cbb6479"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Graham is a pesky two way guard who flies around on both ends of the floor. He used his quickness to blow by defenders and live in the paint. Graham made a handful of shots at the foul line and does a good job of seeking out contact on the attack. He also was able to find others for scoring chances of their own. I like how he is able to score as an off-ball slasher. Graham uses his small stature to his advantage on the defensive end and has a nose for coming up with steals. Graham finished with 11 points with most of them coming in the first half.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2710280"],"_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-695d11cbb64e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harrison's a prospect I've been really high on over the last year or so. Early on he was kind of a bit of a non-factor in the scoring category unlike most of the games I've seen of him. He made an athletic play above the rim showed he could score from deep, but his shot wasn't falling like it normally does. He didn't let that define him and he was very involved in the game making hustle plays with his rebounding finding others for scoring looks. He is someone who I think should be at the top of the list for division one Jucos who are in need of a versatile athlete that can make shots. Damien finished with 14 points and had a three pointer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2950667"],"_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-695d11cbb6544"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really liked Grant‘s energy on the offensive end of the floor. He isn't the quickest, but he doesn't let that define him and is very hetty when he has the ball in his hands. He connected on several threes while playing off the basketball, if his feet are set there's a high chance he is converting from deep. He also has nice touch around the bucket and was able to score through contact. Spacciapolli connected with his teammates for scoring chances of their own. I wanna see him get a step or two faster because I think he can get taken advantage of at the next level if he is having to switch and rotate on ball screens. Spacciapolli is the ideal candidate for a post-grad year with the blend of getting the chance to play against better competition working on his body and being somewhat of a late bloomer. He added 16 points in in the loss &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406917"],"_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-695d11cbb65b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Catalano jumps off the page with his versatility he does what has ever needed for his Pine-Richland team and can play a handful of positions. He doesn't. He has a good feel for the game and really can connect with his teammates and get them the ball and all the right spots He showed some flashes as a scorer even though he's not his role isn't to be a primary scorer . He just has a knack for getting to different spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406929"],"_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-695d11cbb6623"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stober the Ohio State volleyball commit really impressed with his ability to protect the rim and had great timing altering New Castle's shots throughout the game. He was effective running the floor in transition. Stober played above the rim and had great touch around the basket and scored with a variety of moves Inside the paint. New Castle's small guards struggled with having to deal with him as rim protector like him in front of the bucket since they haven't had to play against many teams with a true big. Stober tallied 16 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3311724"],"_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-695d11cbb6692"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker plays with a great deal of energy whenever he steps onto the floor. He is like Charlie Hustle the way he is able to extend offensive possessions. He connected on tough shot as time expired at the end of the 1st quarter. Walker is the epitome of a glue guy and has no issues doing the grunge work for his team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
