Fluid athlete that used his length and size to his advantage really well. Good rebounder that showed his ability to rip and run off the defensive glass and make plays in transition. In the half court, he was an excellent cutter off the ball that was a play finisher. High energy forward with untapped potential that's worth keeping an eye on for the next couple years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2560481"],"_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-6a5aeede170ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long and athletic Forward that hasn't even started to scratch the surface of just how good he can be. 6'7” Forward that showed versatility on both ends of the floor. Mobile big on the defensive end that showed his prowess as a rim protector and as a switchable defender in the pick and roll being able to contain guards on the perimeter. A bit raw offensively but showed flashes of fluidness when driving closeouts as well as out of the mid-post. Arguably the most intriguing player that I was able to see on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2560371"],"_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-6a5aeede170cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2028 bucket getter out of Evansville North and WeDifferent 812 16u got going early and often. Smooth operator on the offensive end with his ability to score in a variety of different ways. Knock down shooter with a smooth stroke and deep range. Showed his improved middle game and driving ability. Absorbs contact well and has the balance to finish plays. Showed great ball skills on the defensive end always being in the right place at the right time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3587087"],"_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-6a5aeede170eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aggressive wing scorer that was a big part of [program_tooltip program_id='2847679' first='Refined' last='Indiana'] Blue 16u comeback win on Friday Night. Inside-out wing that showed his full offensive arsenal throughout the game. Physical frame that moves well without the ball. Nice shooter off the catch, but is best driving closeouts and getting in the lane. Shot diet was questionable at some points, but continued to stay aggressive and made big plays down the stretch. Versatile defender that had multiple deflections and rebounded his position well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3697499,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3697501,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a5aeede17108"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Athletic Big Man that controlled the paint on both ends of the floor. Big time rebounder that showed his mobility when running the floor. High motor Forward/Center that was really good carving out space on post ups as well as comfortable playing in the pick and roll. Good hands that played with patience on the catch and a soft touch around the basket. Explosive athlete that was able to get out in the open floor and play above the rim. Should continue to progress as a legit low post scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
