He is an intelligent post player that can over power players that cant match his physical size and strength. He is a handful on both sides of the ball and finishes easily through contact. He is bigger and stronger than last season, and using his increased skill and strength to control games. He is a stock riser in the deep 2028 class and one to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2890103"],"_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-698ca8f4a073a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hudson is one of those energy players that no guard really wants to face. He loves the grit and grind of the game and plays with a toughness that is hard to find in todays game. He is aggressive from end to end and has a high motor. He is a facilitating point guard that can knock down open shots and penetrates to finish at a high level. He is a strong 2028 player and developing more each game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2849211"],"_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-698ca8f4a0790"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Golmond is a tough player that spends the game intimidating and creating. He is a strong defender with the lateral and end to end quickness to guard 94 feet. His offensive game is equally physical making him tough to control because of his size, strength and overall aggression. He is going to get to the rim and finish. He is a key player for the tough Denham Springs team that nobody wants to see in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421312"],"_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-698ca8f4a07df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devin continues to produce on the court, and his game has evolved since last season. As a sophomore he was comfortable carrying the load as a scorer. His offensive game remains intact, but this season he has transitioned to the role of facilitator, defender and playmaker. Whatever needs to be done, he responds. He is a complete competitor, and his contributions make Marksville one of the most dangerous teams in the state. He is a next level athlete and will thrive in any situation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132742"],"_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-698ca8f4a082c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Young is putting together another impressive season, and is really one of the top guards in the state. His game is a mixture of a few things, but his ability to knock down the three bal has improved from last season. Watching him play in the summer, he was an instant stand out, and he is exactly what coaches are looking for a the next level. He is a high IQ guard that can knock down open shots. Young checks all the boxes for coaches looking to find a guard to lead their program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Be on the lookout for more player evaluations in the coming weeks and team spotlights heading into the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
