A super athletic lefty, Blair competes hard on both ends and thrives in the open court where his athleticism bypasses defenders and finishes fluidly with dunks and creative lay ins. He will be a player to follow the rest of the summer for sure!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2473154"],"_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-6a586344a011d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rodney is a strong and spirited lead guard that plays with energy and pace.

As a shooter, Piersall can know down shots at an efficient clip. Piersall also showed the ability to use body control to finish around defenders in the paint. Owen was a key piece for his Texas Rebels squad capturing 1st place.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3696120"],"_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-6a586344a01c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacob was clearly the best big man prospect playing in the Big Bang National Championship. Jacob has tremendous size and showed the ability to bang in the paint and also step out on the perimeter and shoot with confidence from distance. With continued development and experience at a high competitive level--Jacob has his best days of basketball ahead of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3696122,"_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-6a586344a021c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaiah continues to build upon a strong scholastic season in showing that he can play versus older competition and hold his own. Mooring has the potential to be a major problem for opposing teams in the future as he can use his ability to effect the game on both ends. Although his God First Crusaders squad came up short in the championship game, Mooring did his part by reaching double figures and leading his team in scoring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
