He does a nice job staying within himself and not forcing looks, consistently putting himself in good spots on the floor to clean up rebounds on both ends. He also showed the ability to find others with his passing. I liked how he sought out contact on the attack, which led to several trips to the foul line. At times his movements can look a bit robotic, but his productivity is hard to ignore. He should be a priority recruit at the PSAC and Division II level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453477"],"_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-69b164f299971"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liked the two-way flashes he showed whenever he was on the floor. He has a budding frame with great length that allows him to impact the game defensively, altering shots with his reach and finding ways to rebound. He also did a nice job seeking out contact and getting to the charity stripe. Finished with eight points on the night. As he continues to add strength in the weight room this off-season, his overall game should continue to take a step forward. His best basketball is still on the horizon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2949804"],"_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-69b164f2999b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Led the way for Penn Hills with his ability to score the ball in a variety of ways and create separation to get his shot off. Finished with 11 points on the night. He was also active defensively, jumping into passing lanes to collect steals. Showed the ability to make plays for others as well, displaying solid vision and awareness of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2876259"],"_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-69b164f2999fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Added additional depth for his team and chipped in 11 points on the night. Did a nice job filling the lane in transition and was able to knock down a shot from behind the arc. He also put himself in good spots to collect rebounds. Moving forward, improving his overall efficiency would help take his game to another level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3552281"],"_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-69b164f299a38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finished with 14 points, with eight coming in the second half. He moves well without the ball and can be deadly as an off-ball slasher. He consistently found ways to get into scoring areas and also did a nice job tracking down rebounds.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
