Running with D1 Jets Illinois, the 6'4+ slasher was making an impact on both ends of the floor. On the defensive end he was able to swat a handful of shots at the rim, showing quickness off the floor as well as the lateral mobility to guard guys out on the perimeter. Offensively he was at his best in the open floor or slashing to the rim from the wing. He threw down an explosive left handed dunk as he cut in from the right side of the floor in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2763283"],"_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-69eca83b36c7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As the smallest player on the floor, Charlie was fearless attacking a D1 Jets Illinois team that featured plenty of length and athleticism. He could get into the lane and play off two feet to score with floaters over size, or could stretch the floor with his deep shooting range. Charlie racked up a number of assists throughout the game, showing he could make the simple kick-out pass to a shooter, or thread the needle to a teammate cutting to the rim. Also slid in to take a charge in the lane in the second half.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2829703"],"_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-69eca83b36cc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brian immediately stands out with his long and lanky frame standing at about 6'3 on the wing. When he checks into the game, Brian is a pure shooter for D1 Jets Illinois. He knows who he is as a player, and doesn't try to do too much off the dribble. Instead Brian was finding pockets of space out on the perimeter to catch and put three points on the board. When [program_tooltip program_id='2076264' first='Illinois' last='Central Elite'] started to comeback in the second half, it was Brian who put the game to rest with three jumpers in just a couple minutes of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2540205"],"_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-69eca83b36d12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">John had his intriguing potential on display last night in a big win for AyoDos Elite. The 6'6-6'7 forward is extremely long and moves well at his size, making him an impact player on the defensive end. He could move his feet out on the perimeter, or slide into position to block/alter shots at the rim. He handles it better than most players his size, and was used as an extra ball handling option at times to help break the press. John runs the floor like a gazelle for transition opportunities, and showed flashes of impressive footwork on the block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2834050"],"_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-69eca83b36d55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaivyn was doing a little of everything last night in a big win. He came up with a handful of steals throughout the game, including two within the opening three minutes of play that helped set the tempo for his team. He gets after it pressuring the ball defensively, and has good instincts to jump passing lanes. Offensively he has a flashy handle that helps him create in isolation, and did a nice job of getting his teammates involved. Good transition player who can keep it on his own or dump it off at the last second.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2917944"],"_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-69eca83b36d96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">M14 simply couldn't keep [player_tooltip player_id='2917944' first='Koby' last='Diaz'] away from the rim. The 6'4 wing/forward was dominant on the offensive glass, was sprinting the floor for transition buckets, and could attack with a straight line drive from the rim. Koby does a great job of playing off two feet and keeping his balance while being swarmed by defenders, allowing him to power up through contact. Diaz showed he has the touch to finish with either hand inside as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2699549"],"_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-69eca83b36dd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Griffin impressed with his play on both ends of the floor. His team was playing with just one sub throughout the game, but that didn't stop him from providing relentless ball pressure. Griffin was battling to get over the top of screens all game long, and showed quick hands to come up with a couple of steals to get his team out in transition. He also provided a big spark of offense towards the end of the first half, where he hit two threes and finished at the rim twice in about 2-3 minutes of play to give his team a big lead heading into the break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
