He's listed on the [program_tooltip program_id='3575480' first='ATA' last='Elite'] 17u roster. He can handle the ball and is a solid shooter off the bounce. Dillard can create space with those handles and can pull up and shoot at any time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2871915"],"_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-69fc705405b77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abdulhadi is a player that could draw some eyes at the Mitten State Mash. He'll be playing with the Rising Sunz this weekend in Dearborn Heights. He's a versatile player that can defend and rebound in the paint. But on the offensive end, he can step out and hit a jumper and has range that extends beyond the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2422272"],"_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-69fc705405b9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alderman is an intriguing forward that I'm looking forward to seeing play. He can be found on the Cincy Reapers 17u roster. From what I hear, Alderman is a forward that can play at a high speed and make himself a factor in the open floor. He's the type of player that's willing to let his defense dictate his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2440167"],"_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-69fc705405bbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've seen Nessel play, but it's been a minute. He's a quick twitch guard that's willing to play unselfish team basketball. Nessel can attack off the bounce and create for himself and his teammates. If a defense backs off and plays the dribble drive, he can make them pay with his jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2862925"],"_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-69fc705405bdc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones could be fun to watch at the Mitten State Mash this weekend. He had some very solid scoring nights through high school season if I recall correctly. I've also heard that he can groove his jumper off the bounce and turn his shot into a momentum changer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

I'm looking forward to the Prep Hoops Circuit's Mitten State Mash this weekend. There will be a lot of new players that I haven't seen yet this spring. I'm going to give you a closer look at some new players that I'm excited to see at the event.
