--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson has made a very strong case for the #1 overall spot in 2029.  Well-built 6'3” combo guard that brings plus positional size along with a ton of tricks in his bag.  Explosive rips off the bounce blowing past defenders.  Burst into the paint for scores.  Strong driver downhill who continues to get better as a shooter both in the mid-range and three.  Quality passer off live dribbles making crisp reads.  Defensively he is a game changer taking opposing lead guards out of the game!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heard is a high-motor, wiry strong, and super athletic small forward who rebounds at a high rate along with having the ability to push off the defensive glass in the open floor.  Spinning layups at the rim, catching lobs, and getting to the line.  High level perimeter defender!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wallace is among the most productive prospects in the 2029 class.  Well built post that brings power and athleticism up front.  Runs the floor hard, can push it on his own off the defensive glass, and throws down big dunks.  Powers his way through opponents in the half court along with using crafty moves on the block and mid-post.  Also ran down a defender for a LeBron block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Henderson continues to be among the most intriguing 2029 posts in the state.  The four man is being more assertive in the paint backing in for a hook shot, getting on the offensive glass for impactful plays, caught the ball on the move for a finish through contact.  Jab step for a three and blocked a shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the game we caught Jamison it was his ability to create off the dribble with his slick handles and shake getting downhill for scores in the paint.  Coast to coast takes along with winning in the half court hitting the creases in the defense.  We know in other games our staff saw he shot the cover off the ball!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph
