He has good strength, can stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting, and shows a strong feel for the game. Defensively, he competes with physicality, holds his own against bigger players, and battles hard on the glass at both ends.

He plays with a high motor, competes on the glass, and consistently finds ways to impact the game without needing plays called for him. A high-academic prospect, Britt brings a combination of effort, versatility, and upside that should attract college interest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2960264"],"_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-698a90e1291ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top sophomore prospects in the state, Mickleberry is a guard with good positional size and a strong foundation for long-term development. He is a confident perimeter shooter with range beyond the arc and shows the ability to space the floor. Mickleberry is also a capable passer who sees the floor well and makes solid decisions with the basketball. His combination of size, skill, and feel for the game makes him a prospect to monitor closely in the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3275794"],"_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-698a90e12922c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White is a hard-playing guard who brings a steady scoring presence to the backcourt. He does a good job attacking the rim off the dribble and plays with physicality and purpose when getting downhill. White rebounds very well for his position and consistently contributes on the glass.
