The 5'11" guard did a nice job of attacking the rim off the bounce, playing with strength as a straight line driver, and showing the ability to finish through contact at the rim. He made quick decisions off the catch, showed that he could knock down shots from behind the arc, and operated both as an on-ball decision maker and off-ball scorer. Defensively, he competed on the ball and showed a willingness to give up his body to make the little plays for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":3596116,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Amisha Muthyala","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ashland","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"White Mamba","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69e51ee81ef31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Muthyala, a guard out of <em>Ashland</em> <em>High School</em> in Massachusetts, caught our attention during his games with <em>Team White Mamba</em>. One of the more impressive shooters at the event, the 5'10" guard showed clean mechanics from behind the arc. While he probably could've taken more shots, his willingness to play within the flow of the offense was impressive. He made quick decisions as a passer and moved well without the ball in his hands. Defensively, he did a nice job of plugging gaps on drives and was able to rotate out of the help when he needed to.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":3596143,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Urijah Rosas","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hopedale","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"White Mamba","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69e51ee81f040"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rosas, a guard out of <em>Hopedale Junior Senior High School</em> in Massachusetts, broke out on Saturday afternoon while running with <em>Team White Mamba</em>. The 6'0" guard thrived in his teams' up-tempo system, showing an ability to cover ground quickly on the defensively end of the floor. He has good length and quick feet, while also playing with impressive instincts, all of which contributed to his ability to make plays in passing lanes. Offensively, he played off a quick first step as a driver and showed some creativity as a finisher around the rim. He also impressed on that end of the floor as an off-ball mover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2610724"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3596126,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69e51ee81f0d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith, a forward out of <em>Canton High School</em> in Massachusetts, was a difference maker for <em>MCIB</em> during afternoon action on Saturday. The 6'3" forward has good positional size, moves well laterally, and does a nice job of playing within himself on the offensive end of the floor. He sets solid screens, rolls hard to the rim, and finishes with either hand around the basket. He even showed the ability to attack the rim as a straight line driver off of a few bounces. Defensively, he uses his frame to his advantage as a rebounder and has the ability to defend on the perimeter in short stretches with good lateral mobility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":3596144,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Khaidyn Smith","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"MCIB","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69e51ee81f1ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith, a guard out of <em>Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall</em> in Massachusetts, made a two-way impact for <em>MCIB</em>. The 6'2" guard might have had the best motor in the gym this weekend, playing with relentless effort on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he was in passing lanes creating turnovers and rebounded way bigger than his frame would indicate he would. On the other end of the floor, he attacked the paint off the bounce, hunted down loose rebounds, and even showed good instincts as a passer. His ability to do a bit off everything and plug whatever holes needed to be plugged on the floor stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3524650"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3596123,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69e51ee81f25a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vanderpool, a guard out of <em>Taconic High School</em> in Massachusetts, provided a spark for the <em>Berkshire Reign</em> during the afternoon games. The 5'9" guard changes the pace of the game when he's on the floor, hunting paint touches off the bounce and showing good vision as a passer out of ball screens. He did a good job of pitching the ball up the floor in transition, had the ability to make open shots from behind the arc, and delivered his passes on time and on target to shooters. Defensively, he sat in a stance and competed at the point of attack, showing the ability to keep opponents out of the paint and away from their scoring spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
