He's comfortable using dribbles to attack the basket 15ft and in. He hits the elbow, and paint jumpers, has the length to finish around the rim. He was in an adjustment period during June with his new high school team, nonetheless he'll be a contributor when he settles in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3173986"],"_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-6a652aec0dcd6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing 6'9 with a frame to build up. He has a good upside to his game with his determination to improve. He has paint presence, awareness, takes up space. He's adjusting to the pace, and his new surroundings after transferring into one of NorCal's top programs. He's made progress on both ends of the court competing this Spring and Summer against quality competition with Team Lillard 15U. He's a post passer, can be a legitimate target in the post with continued development. We'll continue to track his progress. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2877955"],"_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-6a652aec0de25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Started the season on the JV moved up to Varsity early to finish with an average of 8pts, 6rebs.

Standing 6'4 with lengthy arms, and footspeed to defend and play multiple positions. He has guard like handles to create his shot opportunities at times, he can go into attack mode, handle contact in the paint, not afraid to mix it up going for rebounds. He's a ball mover, and a slasher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2861203"],"_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-6a6538fc2af1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He made his contributions as a reserve his first year on the Varsity. He's steadily improving as a player. He's a point guard by nature with good ball handling, vision and passing, he takes care of the ball a willing facilitator. He works mostly off ball right now, has shown a few moves off the dribble drive to get his shot off. He's an alert defender, positions himself, double down, or trap up top. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
