Dynamic point guard with great speed and the ability to create separation off the dribble. Very shifty with the handle and consistently broke defenders down while still playing under control.

The jump shot is still developing consistency, but the upside is there. Projects as a mid-major prospect with the potential to continue rising. Definitely a guard to keep an eye on moving forward.<br><br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1832589"],"_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-6a0b50c8085fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Savion finished as the third-leading scorer in the division at 18.5 PPG.

He didn't need to carry the scoring load for his team, but his athleticism immediately stood out among the field. At 6-foot-3, Zion possesses elite explosiveness and can rise above defenders with ease, making him arguably the most athletic guard in the tournament. He attacks the rim with force and finishes with authority in transition and half-court situations alike. His motor and physical tools consistently grabbed attention throughout the weekend. As Zion continues to develop and polish his offensive skill set, his long-term upside and potential remain extremely high.<br><br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
