He scored the ball in a plethora of ways throughout. Rottman had a game high 30 points in the win. He made the most of his chances at the foul line. Really liked Rottmann's activity and motor and you could tell he did not want to lose on his home court. He has no issues making others better. Rottmann looks like he should be an immediate impact at the college level and wouldn't be surprised if he produced right away. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2850669"],"_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-699734e739278"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fredericks had a huge 4th quarter scoring 14 of his 26 points then and was apart of a huge comeback that helped North Catholic secure a victory. His mid-range is like a layup and you can tell he really grinds that shot. If the defense gives him an inch he will take a mile. Fredericks also showed that he can make plays for others with his passing. He doesn't get sped up and picks and chooses which gears to attack at. He has great timing and finds ways to be in the right spots to make an impact. He is a priority recruit at the small college level and should also see some traction at the prep school level if programs are looking for a floor general who can touch the game in a plethora of ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3352696"],"_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-699734e7392c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spence impressed from behind the arc connecting on six three pointers a few of them very difficult shots attempts. Spence had a team high 23 points in the loss. He does a nice job hunting his shot off the basketball. I would like to see him get into the mix more in other facets off the game. His body also needs to have some improvements. He would be a nice pickup at the small college level or at the prep level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3345536"],"_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-699734e73930b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Basic offensive arsenal was seen throughout connecting on shots from all three levels. I like how he was able to convert chances at the foul line. He added 20 doing most of his damage in the 1st half. Basic was kind of held in check during the 2nd half of the game by North Catholic. He should be a priority recruit for small colleges across western Pennsylvania and Ohio. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3033942"],"_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-699734e73934b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pickett added some depth as a scorer adding 15 points in the win. He fills the lane in transition. Think one of Pickett's best skillets at the moment is his ability to rebound the basketball. Pickett showed flashes on his athleticism by playing around the rim. He really seeks out rebounds on the defensive end of the floor. He was in good places on the floor to get steals. A few things I want to see him improve on is playing off of two feet when on the attack think he can rush things into existence at times. I think if he waited a second or two he might be able to get a better shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3508549"],"_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-699734e73938c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gile is an old school post player who eats up space on the interior. I really liked his ability to use post moves on the interior. He did a nice job of staying within himself and not trying to overdo his game. Gile added eight points which were all inside the painted area of the floor. I like how he showed that he could rebound the basketball on both ends. He has some untapped potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
