The son of a college coach, Parker inherently understands several intricacies of the game that you often don't find in young basketball players. Parker uses his quickness to navigate around ball screens defensively, uses a quick set of hands to poke away steals/blocks in the paint, and switched out to contest shooters on the perimeter. Parker can knock down open looks, run a team, and developed a nice bag of floaters and other finishing moves over the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3041596"],"_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-69c59e9ec1028"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: 94</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Raue continues his rapid ascension up our rankings as a shooter with great positional size in the sophomore class. Raue moves well off the ball to set up open looks for himself beyond the arc, has a consistent release point whether he is shooting a floater or midrange jumper or 3 point shot, and has worked on his body to enable himself to play through more physicality at both ends of the floor. Because of the afore-mentioned shooting touch, he doesn't need the ball in his hands for very long to be effective and is a willing passer both on the perimeter and on drives to the rim. Want to see him play with more of a killer instinct at both ends of the floor, as he has all the tools to be successful. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2705135"],"_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-69c59e9ec10a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: 28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Fox missed a good chunk of the season due to eligibility issue (zoning), but without that, he would probably be within our top 10-15 for the class. A smooth scoring guard that has added more explosiveness to his game over the last 12 months, I think he will blow scouts away on the circuit this summer as a prospect that can fill it up from all 3 levels. Fox can knock down shots off the bounce from all three levels, displayed finishing craft around the basket, and has success against different defensive archetypes thrown his way. If the competitive fire extends to the defensive end of the floor as it did throughout the AAU tryout/workout process, Fox can really raise his ceiling as a two-way prospect that can do it all. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2571840"],"_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-69c59e9ec111c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: Re-classified</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-The scoring guard re-classified to 2028 and should pop onto the radar of college coaches with a productive offseason. McQuarter can really score in bunches, getting to the rim at will and showing a knack for getting to his spots in the halfcourt without needing a ball screen to create space. He's fast in the open floor, can knock down shots off the catch on the wings, and understands how to take advantage once he gets a step on his defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194567"],"_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-69c59e9ec1196"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: 128</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Jones spot-started throughout the season and had 24 points to go along with a game-winning jumper in the playoffs. Jones has improved his handle and burst with the ball in his hands to operate in the halfcourt more effectively whether he is on the ball or attacking closeouts from the wing to round out his game. A strong shooter from beyond the arc, Jones has earned himself consistent playing opportunities with his ability to force turnovers at the defensive end of the floor and avoid turnovers at the opposite end. Will be interesting to track where he ends up during this AAU season as he seems destined for a bigger role in the Stags' backcourt next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
