The 6'4 wing brings a strong combination of athleticism, skill, and feel, with the ability to score at all three levels. He moves well without the ball, plays above the rim, and shows a good understanding of the game. With his tools and trajectory, expect Madden to quickly become a well-known name among college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2481642"],"_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-69b9d45e6e530"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Kennesaw Mountain product possesses as much upside as any prospect in the state's 2028 class. Jallow is a versatile scorer who can impact the game both inside and out, showing the ability to finish at the rim and step out offensively. He brings a unique blend of size, skill, and athleticism that makes him a matchup problem. As he continues to develop, he has the tools and trajectory to emerge as a high-major prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2639058"],"_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-69b9d45e6e578"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">College coaches are always in search of shooting, and Matta is a high-level shot maker with good positional size on the perimeter. The sophomore shot nearly 40% from three this season, consistently spacing the floor and knocking down perimeter looks. Combined with his high basketball IQ and feel for the game, he understands how to play within a system and make winning plays. With his shooting ability and overall profile, he projects as a legitimate college prospect in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2473422"],"_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-69b9d45e6e5b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ward is a hard-playing, two-way prospect for Walton who impacts the game on both ends of the floor. He is a reliable open shot maker with good strength and above-average athleticism, allowing him to contribute offensively without needing high volume touches. Defensively, he does a strong job keeping his man in front and uses his physical tools to guard multiple positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2919742"],"_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-69b9d45e6e5f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hawthorne is a quick, productive guard who brings versatility to the backcourt, capable of playing on the wing or handling secondary playmaking duties. He does a good job getting into the paint, where he can create for himself or set up teammates. He is also a capable open shot maker, allowing him to play effectively both on and off the ball.
