His quick burst off the dribble creates early advantages, and his athleticism allows him to convert a variety of finishes in traffic and around length. He plays with an aggressive mindset and unwavering confidence, maintaining the same level of intensity from start to finish while consistently forcing defenses to react.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2524007"],"_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-69a230add1497"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zi'on is a poised shot-maker who thrives in pressure situations and shows no hesitation when the moment calls for a big play. His size and extended reach create problems defensively, as he regularly gets deflections and closes space quickly, while also converting above-the-rim opportunities in transition. Offensively, he plays with great economy, relying on clean one-dribble pull-ups and consistently balanced footwork. He understands spacing and shot selection, allowing him to impact the game without over-dribbling.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2101439"],"_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-69a230add151d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This multi-level scorer made a strong statement in the opening round, finishing with 25 points while applying constant offensive pressure. He punished defenses by knocking down open jumpers, sprinting the lanes in transition, and exploiting mismatches against slower bigs. His foot speed and decisiveness enable him to score quickly and efficiently within the flow of the offense. Additionally, his ability to read defensive coverage allows him to consistently find high-percentage scoring opportunities.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2513318"],"_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-69a230add159e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garner's size advantage consistently created matchup issues and was evident on both ends of the floor. He controlled the paint by protecting the rim defensively while converting efficiently around the basket. Offensively, he showed the ability to space the floor and make sound decisions, consistently providing whatever the game demanded.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2756697"],"_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-69a230add161e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Physically imposing with a powerful frame and surprising agility, he was a constant problem for opposing defenses. He demonstrates strong court awareness and the ability to handle the ball, attacking the basket and converting through heavy contact. At the rim, he showcases a diverse finishing arsenal with excellent body control and a willingness to absorb hits. His strength overwhelms guards in the paint, while his quickness creates advantages against traditional post players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696246"],"_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-69a230add169b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jerrin has quietly been one of the most undervalued guards in the state all season, and he delivered a major performance in an overtime win against Statesboro. He knocked down five three-pointers, continuing to prove his value as a consistent floor-spacer. His decision-making is sound, he rebounds at a high level for his position, and his defensive effort and intensity stand out on every possession. Overall, he impacts the game on both ends as a complete, well-rounded guard.</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":"Christian Wofford","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_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":"Greater Atlanta Christian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"La Familia","_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-69a230add17eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Operating as a true floor leader, this high-IQ guard dictates pace and puts teammates in the right spots offensively. His ability to knock down shots from the perimeter stretches the defense and allows the offense to flow more freely. He's comfortable creating in the mid-range, utilizing a reliable floater and pull-up jumper, and he shows strong command in pick-and-roll situations. Additionally, his patience and poise with the ball help close games and limit costly possessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

With playoff basketball underway, these players came in firing on all cylinders and look primed for a strong postseason push.
