he's been running the show in the Team Unshakable backcourt and showcasing his ability to lead by example; at Phenom Hoops Live, he was consistent getting to his spots and creating opportunities for himself and others as he averaged over 20.0 ppg along with roughly 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game while leading his squad to a 6-2 record; he's seemingly next up to lead Farmville Central as they look to exert their dominance in the 252</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2947904"],"_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":3696824,"_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-6a59671757a8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Led Team Pittman to an 7-1 record alongside Noah Dulin; a terror to deal with, especially defensively as he utilizes his strong frame and quickness to wreak havoc; showed all the confidence in the world shooting the ball on the perimeter and went off for five made 3-pointers in one outing; creates quite the matchup problem given his abilities as a downhill threat; gets paint touches and finds his shooters with ease; set to lead Davie County on quite the run this fall</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2947889"],"_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-6a59671757b14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another member of the Team Pittman squad who changed the game; plays with a ton of presence and energy given his athleticism; did well to create matchup problems on both ends of the floor and utilize his strengths to his advantage; showed he could operate at multiple roles on the hardwood given his length/athleticism; really changes things with his ability to attack the basket, handle ball pressure and finish in traffic; a prospect who has a chance to emerge as a HM prospect on the hardwood as well as the football field</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3696821"],"_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-6a59671757ba6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Has really embraced changing the game with his ability to make big shots and defend at a high level; turned the tide in CC Elite's comeback victory in one outing with shot after shot on the perimeter; forces turnovers with his on-ball pressure defense and quickness; does well to find other scorers in the open floor for easy scores to spark runs; excited to see his progression at Weddington High given he's another 2028 prospect playing on the 17U stage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2711243"],"_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-6a59671757d76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big-framed guard who can operate with and without the ball in his hands;

Elite 3SGB backcourt at Phenom Hoops Live; he utilized his quickness in a variety of ways as he looked to push the pace and get out and score easy buckets at any opportunity; defensively, he looked to be a pest that forced turnovers and did just that in his quest to make winning plays; he's certainly a prospect out of L.C.
