<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Creating space and making tough shots is one of the hardest skills in basketball, and this group does it at a high level. Whether it's with handles, pace, athleticism, or pure shotmaking ability, these prospects constantly keep defenders uncomfortable.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2529556"],"_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-6a05e78cae066"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson is a high IQ guard who plays at his own pace and consistently gets to his spots. He has a money floater and a strong pull up midrange game. His quick first step allows him to get past defenders who are late on closeouts, and he handles the ball well while making smart decisions, especially in pick and roll situations. Jackson is the type of guard that can fit into any program and produce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125480"],"_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-6a05e78cae10c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grimsley has a ridiculous handle that he uses to get anywhere he wants on the court. He attracts a lot of defensive attention, which opens things up for teammates. He's lethal from three point range and also smooth in the midrange. Grimsley is extremely skilled and capable of putting points up in a hurry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3533137"],"_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-6a05e78cae17e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garcia is a lengthy forward with a ton of potential. At 6'5 as a freshman, he plays above the rim and seems to have multiple highlight dunks every game. The lefty has a great feel for the game and knows when to take over as a scorer. Garcia is already one of the top freshmen in the state and will be a major name to watch over the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2960139"],"_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-6a05e78cae1eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berry is a freakishly athletic guard who plays with a lot of force around the rim. He uses his speed to get downhill and beat defenders to the basket, while his stop and go game makes him difficult to stay in front of. He can stop on a dime and rise into pull up jumpers with confidence. Berry plays with nonstop hustle and energy on both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3638309"],"_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-6a05e78cae257"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Freeman is unfair. At 6'9, he has guard skills with the size of a forward. He handles the ball, shoots from the perimeter, and moves well defensively. There are no holes in his game. He can bully smaller defenders in the post or beat defenders off the dribble on the perimeter. With his length, skill, and versatility, Freeman is one of the top players not just in the state, but in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Creating space and making tough shots is one of the hardest skills in basketball, and this group does it at a high level. Whether it's with handles, pace, athleticism, or pure shotmaking ability, these prospects constantly keep defenders uncomfortable.
