At 6'6 with a high motor and basketball IQ, his place at the top of the rankings is solid. This will be a big summer for the two-time champion and his pairing with Ryan Hampton could be a basketball match made in heaven.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2316989"],"_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-69fd6a9d1eab8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2316989' first='Tyrone' last='Jamison'] is one of the top guards in the nation and he continues to improve his game. He is a pure three level scorer and master facilitator with an unmatched motor and visible on court maestro. He is a true leader and student of the game with next level potential written all over him. He is one of the best and brightest in the nation, and The Oklahoma Sooners offered him after his MVP nod from Session 1. The sky is the limit for Jamison.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132769"],"_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-69fd6a9d1eb06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2132769' first='Xzavier' last='Baker'] is the perfect blend of flash and poise. He plays like an east coast guard with an extensive handle. His compact frame and noticeable muscular build make it tough to control him. He works to get downhill, and a taller guard or one that can't match his physicality is going to have a long day trying to stay in front of X. He gives the game so much and works to deepen his bag. X is going to have a big summer to build on his stellar junior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2952054"],"_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-69fd6a9d1eb4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">axson Williams is another Louisiana guard that you have to see play to understand his overall in game impact. He is a motor player that can get to his spots in two dribbles, or he can use his creativity and put on a show. He has a strong frame and finishes through contact. He is always looking for competition, and he brings out the best in his teammates with his style of play. Williams will be one to watch on the circuit this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2700512"],"_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-69fd6a9d1eb97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2700512' first='Aaron' last='Miles'] is the picture of skill and IQ, using his basketball mind to create winning situations. He is a joy to watch competing because he is all over the court, making things happen. He is an aggressive on-ball defender, scary in the open court, and he can pull up from anywhere on the court. Miles is a classic Louisiana guard. He is compact, frantic, and electric in the best basketball sense, but he is also a poised and calculating guard that scares opposing coaches because the game plan will always be how do we keep Miles from doing what he wants to do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
