<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The exclusive Prep Hoops Live event took place over this past weekend. A competitive 3 days worth of basketball was had which featured teams from near and far across the Midwest who showed up in bunches. Here we will take a deeper look into some additional guards who had positive showings for their respectable teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3549172"],"_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-6a0dc39da960d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watched during squads first game of event on Friday. Brings toughness and energy to both ends of the floor. Puts it on the deck and attacks the cup through contact. Scrappy ball handler who competes and pushes the break for transition scores. Crashes glass  on the offensive and defensive sides from the guard spot. Overall brings plus effort, defensive pressure, and downhill speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2888376"],"_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-6a0dc39da964f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yoder runs the show at point for a humbled and well coached squad. Has plenty of time to add size to frame but his feel and iq for the game are already at a matured level. A settled and even keeled demeanor with plus ball handling skills. He lets his game do the talking. Really can glue on the ball defensively with anticipation and quick hands. Tallied at least 3 pick pockets to go the other way in team's early morning game on Saturday. Like the upside here to continue to affect game in multiple facets and be a well polished floor general as career progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2860680"],"_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-6a0dc39da9678"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kulacz showed strong shot making ability and scoring instincts in team's early morning game on Saturday. Helped lead team to a 3-1 weekend. Finished well off dribble drive action and displayed touch with a fadeaway and1 and another fadeaway from 8 foot off the glass. Created some early offense with steals in the back court while converting efficiently on breakaways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3556528"],"_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-6a0dc39da969c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saw compete in early morning game on Saturday and showed some bright attributes. Battles beneath on the glass from the guard spot. Came away with at least three offensive rebounds with a couple of those converting to second chance points. Made a fundamental roll after screening the ball to retrieve it and score. Was double digits in scoring and helped lead team to 3-1 on weekend.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2840763"],"_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-6a0dc39da96bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owens brings a hard nosed and toughness mentality to the floor. Watched late morning game on Sunday and he continued to be in attack mode throughout with volume activity. Gets into the teeth of the defense and makes correct reads. Plays off 2 feet to gather then drop off or score it himself. Initiated contact multiple times to get to the stripe. Liked his versatility and nature to compete with tenacity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2811700"],"_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-6a0dc39da96e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Have seen Bollow play a couple times now on the circuit and in our exposure event and he continues to bring a sound competitive game. Tough with the ball on dribble drive action and was efficient scoring wise at the rim. Makes hard cuts off the ball to open up the floor and can convert in traffic. Scored the game winner in team's double overtime contest on Sunday to help squad to a 3-1 weekend. Continue to like the upside from the combo guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
