In a tough match up against one of the best bigs in the gym, he played a strong and physical game using his size to his advantage. He controlled the boards and finished around the rim. He was an active rebounder on both sides of the ball and showed developing agility, but unmatched energy. Edna Karr will be even more dangerous next season with this big man putting in work this summer and competing against high level talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2840856"],"_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-69e19a532a034"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">KJ has played the steady path to development and my first evaluation of him as a freshman was based on his energy, visible skill and upside. Two years later, everything is coming together and with the opportunity to get on the floor he shows that it is all coming together. KJ chose the stairs and not the elevator and has a strong fundamental basketball game with that touch of flair that makes him fun to watch. More to follow as he looks to have a big summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2965554"],"_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-69e19a532a0c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Korbin LittleJohn Marion High School 2027 was an easy talent to spot. As soon as he touches the ball he looks to make something happen. He constantly pressures the defense and makes quick decisions which makes the game easy for his team mates. He is a downhill player with moves to shift the defense and get to the rim for finishes. He checks the boxes for a next level player and with more trust in his jumper, he could get some serious interest this summer on the big stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3564702"],"_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-69e19a532a142"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devion Crutchfield did not many Varsity minutes, but on a court with his peers, he is tough to stop. When a bucket is needed, Crutchfield gets to the rim. He has a scorers mentality with a football players mindset. He is trying to get to the rim, and the only way to stop him is to meet his physicality. He has great size, energy and aggression which will keep him on the floor in key moments of the game. Big summer loading for this one, and the game is surely ready for Varsity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532379"],"_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-69e19a532a1c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott is an aggressive offensive minded guard with a solid arsenal. With the ball in his hands, he is makes things happen. He has a tight handle along with an experimental basketball mind. He can score the ball in bunches and locks in on the defensive side of the ball. He is definitely a stock riser in the class and with this summer's exposure could make some coaching boards for recruitment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
