The 6'5" wing is a versatile scorer that impresses in the mid-range and with his ability to create his own shot in isolation situations. He's an above the rim athlete and instinctive cutter that can finish in a variety of ways around the rim. Defensively, he can guard up and down a position and does a nice job of asserting himself on the defensive glass. He'll play this spring and summer with <strong><em>BABC</em></strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2234110"],"_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-69de9e52beb44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>+20</em></strong> <em>(#64 to #45)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martin, a wing out of the <em>St. Andrew's School</em> in Rhode Island, jumped <em>20</em> spots in this update and now sits at <strong><em>#45</em></strong> overall in the rankings. An <em>All-NEPSAC</em> selection this winter, the 6'6" wing proved to be a capable scorer that could create his own shot off the bounce, knock down threes in catch and shoot situations, and score it above the rim in transition. He continues to add to his offensive game while showing a college ready frame and plus athleticism. Defensively, he has the tools to be a lock-down perimeter defender with quickness, strength, and good instincts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2251320"],"_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-69de9e52bebdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>+43</em></strong> <em>(#90 to #47)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson, a guard out of the <em>Williston Northampton School</em> in Massachusetts, jumped <em>43</em> spots in this update and now sits at <strong><em>#47</em></strong> overall in the rankings. Now firmly on the Division I radar, the 6'5" combo guard has terrific positional size and length, both of which he uses to his advantage as a disruptive on-ball defender. He moves his feet to stay in front of the ball and uses his length to create turnovers in passing lanes. Offensively, he's got some creativity off the bounce, is a good finisher around the rim with his length, and continues to improve the consistency of his perimeter jumper. He'll run on the travel circuit with the <strong><em>Philly Pride</em></strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2857842"],"_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-69de9e52bec6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>+13</em></strong> <em>(#64 to #51)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Camacho, a guard out of the <em>Brunswick School</em> in Connecticut, jumped <em>13</em> spots in this update and now sits at <strong><em>#51</em></strong> overall in the rankings. The 6'3" guard does a great job of changing directions off the bounce, using his strength to play through contact, and finishing with touch over size in the paint. His ability to play off a quick first step as a driver lets him repeatedly get into the paint, where he shows good vision and feel for the game as a creator. Defensively, he thrives at the point of attack as a strong defender that moves well enough to keep opponents away from their spots and out of the paint. He plays his travel ball for the <strong><em>NJ Beasts</em></strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568526"],"_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-69de9e52becf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>+26</em></strong> <em>(#130 to #104)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boateng, a guard out of <em>Lexington Christian Academy</em> in Massachusetts, jumped <em>26</em> spots in this update and now sits at <strong><em>#104</em></strong> overall in the rankings. The combo guard continues to impress with his ability to create with the ball in his hands. He's dynamic off the bounce, has nice burst as a finisher when attacking the rim, and has really started to turn it up as a shot creator in isolation situations. His combination of quickness, burst, and strength also plays well on the defensive end of the floor, where he thrives defending in space and keeping opponents away from the basket. He'll run with <strong><em>Team Sims Basketball</em></strong> this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Later this week, we'll continue our rankings coverage for the <em>Class of 2027</em> with positional breakdowns!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
