Well-rounded offensive game. Can take and make tough shots from the mid-range off the dribble and has range out to the three-point line. Bouncy finisher in traffic. Gets to the rack and draws fouls. Rebounds, facilitates and defends at a high level. Active in Johns Creek's zone. Great defensive versatility. Workhorse two-way player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2460991"],"_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-695d3cbdb992c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Southern-signee has proven he can carry a team. Averaging 19 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals. Consistent three-point shooter over the course of his career at 37%. High motor on both ends of the floor. Smooth probing attack on offense. Sets the tone with his defensive range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471150"],"_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-695d3cbdb997e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Explosive lefty has signed to play at West Georgia. Meteoric rise over the past 12 months, playing his way onto college radars. Stretchy combo-forward bangs inside to score with his back to the basket or on face-ups. Solid mid-range jumper. Quick first step to blow by the defense with nimble footwork, good at spinning off the defense. Alley-oop threat plays above the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2879783"],"_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-695d3cbdb99ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Earned a Kennesaw State offer after dominating North Cobb Christian with 40 points. Elite interior defender is becoming a consistent offensive weapon inside. 20-10-5 potential his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2880582"],"_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-695d3cbdb9a17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stretch-big is picking up steam on the recruiting trail. Shoots the three very well. Protects the rim and cleans the glass. Has added some more muscle to his frame. Scores from all levels. Plays above the rim with dunks. Creates mismatches with his shooting touch on the perimeter. High IQ two-way impact maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
