<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These were my overall standouts from this past weekends Pitt Jam Fest action</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2436976"],"_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-69e79c5ccd722"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson plays with an immense deal of physicality whenever he is on the floor. His motor is one of the best parts of his game which allows him to will his way to scoring chances frequently and make plays on both ends of the floor. He showed some flashes from three but is by no means a dead-eye from out there. He was in good spots to secure rebounds. I liked how Johnson can score coast to coast. Anytime he is has the ball in his hands there is a high chance he can make something happen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2422938"],"_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-69e79c5ccd790"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like the jump Sam has made over the last 8 to 9 months as a prospect. He looked very comfortable scoring the ball in a plethora of ways. Owusu connected on several shots from behind the arc. He moves the ball and has a decent vision of the floor. Just like the versatility he brings with him throughout the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2867280"],"_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-69e79c5ccd7e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Loved this willingness to rebound and was a magnet on the glass for his HoopRoots squad. Prince took a ton of high percentage shots around the bucket which he converted on a majority of his chances. He found ways to get to the charity stripe. His touch from three from the game I saw was didn't seem as deadly as I saw from him in past viewing experiences. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421355"],"_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-69e79c5ccd82c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dixon thrived getting into the interior willing his way to the bucket. His quickness allowed him to push the pace while having the ball in his hands. Opposing teams struggle to keep him out of the paint. I want to see him become a more consistent threat from behind the arc. He showed flashes as a playmaker for others getting his teammates involved in the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3598566"],"_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-69e79c5ccd86f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sayler was a prospect I had no idea even existed till I started watching his Caveman HGSL team take on Team Thrill UAA in some 15U action. He was a pleasant surprise. But as the game got going he really started to catch my attention with his play. He found different ways to score around the bucket and has great footwork. Sayler made a few trips to the foul line and connected on his chances. He positioned himself in good spots to get rebounds. Definitely needs to get stronger but looking forward to tracking his progress as his career goes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3571138"],"_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-69e79c5ccd8b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rutley is a guard with good positional size. He made a lasting impact on the game. He kept pressure on the defense continuously with his ability to penetrate the bucket. He had a few rebounds which he was able to pull down due to his length. Like how he was able to routinely find others for scoring chances and found them in a timely fashion. Rutley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450697"],"_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-69e79c5ccd8f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">West scoring prowess was on full display throughout the weekend. He connected on a pair of three pointers. I was also impressed on West's blend of scoring and facilitating the basketball and made a ton of plays for himself and others. I like how West sought out contact on the attack. He was able to start the break and found others in transition. I want to see him use his feet more on defense and use his hands less. Whenever he is around the paint I would like to see him use jump stops and play off of two feet more which he will have to do when he is playing against older and stronger players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
