One of his best assists is the ability out hustle defenders and run in to the lanes for easy dunks and fast break points. He is a strong finisher and will finish with a nice jump hook. He also showcased his ability to stretch the floor hitting two three's and one from NBA range. He sits in the dumpers spot ready for the ball and will dunk it. Ja'mir is a plus rebounder on both end and will send shot away at the rim making him a great paint presence.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2689907"],"_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-6a03a5dbb9f0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matthew is a great size scoring wing with some upside. He displayed his ability to hit the three ball at a high clip all weekend long. He is his best off the catch and will even hit them on a transition pullup. He has a solid handle and will get down hill against weak defenders. He is a plus athlete so he can throw it down on the break and finish high at the rim in the lane making him difficult to block. He is a solid wing defender with his length and agility and is not scared to challenge players at the rim for big time blocks. Matthew will continue to open eyes this AAU season with his size and skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2970180"],"_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-6a03a5dbb9f4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dawoud is a long athletic wing that plays a point forward role for unity. He is a great slasher off the ball and keeps great spacing in the half court. He can attack the bucket with real speed off the catch and put pressure on the rim. He uses his length to his advantage by finishing high at the bucket. Defensively he can be very disruptive to ball handler's and will get multiple steals on and off the ball. He plays very calm and relaxed and never seems to be in a rush. The young wing has the tools to get to the next level and had them on display the whole weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2947346"],"_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-6a03a5dbb9f73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Giovanni is a big guard/wing that has some big upside. He uses his big frame and guard skills to get down hill and finish strong at the rim. His varsity experience allows him to physically dominate at the 15u level with ease. When Giovanni gets to the paint and will use a nice floater or spin and seal to get him self going. he is a capable three point shooter and can hit it off the dribble and the catch. He is a plus rebounder for his position and a very versatile defender being able to guard multiple positions at the 15u level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2432565"],"_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-6a03a5dbb9f95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amaurie is a good athlete at the point guard spot that is able to take the ball coast to coast for a layup or a kick out to corner shooter. He gets in good windows of the defense to spot up for catch and shoot three's. Amaurie hit four three's in the game and when he gets his feet set his shot is money. He gets out and runs lanes well and has the ability to play off the ball. He has good hands and will poke the ball away from ball handlers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2345479"],"_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-6a03a5dbb9fb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Milton is a rare and true big in the west valley who is rapidly improving. He runs the floor hard and and will post up every mismatch he gets. He gets to good spots on the floor and makes him self available for drop off passes in the lane. He is a big time defensive stoper and uses his length and size to send shots away or make them tough. he has a solid jump hook and keeps the ball high away from defenders. Milton can have a big summer heading into his senior year and should start to get offers.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

From Saturday April 25th to Sunday April 26th i was able to attend the AOG's Cactus Classic Battle of the Brands in Phoenix Arizona at The PHHacility.
