<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The talent continued to show throughout the weekend, with more players stepping up and making their mark. Here's Part 2 of standouts who impressed:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3037970"],"_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-69d2dc6ee4939"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slaughter stood out as an intriguing, high-upside prospect with his blend of size and athleticism. He showed the ability to score at all three levels, knocking down multiple threes, hitting tough mid-range shots, and attacking the rim effectively. On the defensive end, his athleticism translated well as he blocked shots and created turnovers. He also came close to having one of the top dunks of the weekend, further highlighting his explosiveness. Expect him to have a big spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3564958"],"_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":3582202,"_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-69d2dc6ee49d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Using his strength and athleticism, Daniels consistently put pressure on the defense by attacking the rim. He got downhill effectively, finishing through traffic and making an impact as a slasher. Daniels was active on the offensive glass, creating extra possessions, and showed he can handle the ball and make plays when needed. On the defensive end, he held his own, creating turnovers and competing with good energy, making him a well-rounded guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2938190"],"_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":3582209,"_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-69d2dc6ee4a2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sharpshooter for MR22, King played a pivotal role in a big momentum-swinging comeback win against a strong 15U squad. He caught fire in the second half, knocking down multiple threes with a quick, confident release and consistently stretching the defense. His shot-making ability changed the game, helping turn a 10+ point deficit into a 14-point victory. Beyond his perimeter shooting, King showed he can put the ball on the floor, attacking the basket when defenders closed out and pushing the pace in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3562506"],"_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":"","_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-69d2e241af1bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Made a strong impression with his physical interior presence and consistent production throughout the weekend. He showcased solid footwork on the block, making him tough to guard and effective scoring inside. He also stepped out beyond the three-point line, showing his range and adding another dimension to his game. A tough, reliable presence who is also a football defensive end, which shows in his physicality and motor on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The talent continued to show throughout the weekend, with more players stepping up and making their mark. Here's Part 2 of standouts who impressed:
