Skilled 6'11” big man that can play all over the floor. Comfortable offensive hub with special court vision for his size. Pick and roll and pick and pop threat with a smooth stroke. Good hands and footwork makes him a reliable scorer around the basket. Fundamentally sound big man that can score, but has the ability to impact the game without scoring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3559589"],"_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-6a5bad0bd77f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The athletic 6'5” Forward out of Evansville Bosse and WeDifferent 812 had his best game in front of me. Has always had the physical tools to be an impact player on both ends of the floor and has shown flashes in the past, but he was really good in the second half. Aggressive rebounding. Set good screens and rolled hard. Possesses good hands and showed the ability to gather on the short roll and drive his matchup and finish strong. Was solid defensively around rim altering shots and blocking a few. His energy, effort, and focus is what will decide his potential. He showed how good he can be when he's engaged.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470608"],"_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-6a5baf8a5abd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arguably the most impactful player on the floor coming in a loss. Indiana Junior All-Star [player_tooltip player_id='2470608' first='Duncan' last='Combs'] showed his versatile game. Able to play inside-out and with a physicality. He's a really good offensive rebounder. Reads the ball off the rim as well as anybody I have seen. Showed he can drive closeouts and finish around the basket with either hand. Also wasn't shy from taking 3's off the dribble and hit a couple off the catch. Excellent footwork on post ups and finishes through contact well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2423423"],"_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-6a5baf8a5abf5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">First time seeing the athletic shooting guard out of Wisconsin and he was excellent. Made plays on both ends of the floor using his length and athleticism. High motor guard that showed his scoring abilities from all three levels. Smooth shooter with nice rotation and was really good off the catch or off the dribble. Plays bigger than 6'1” due to his athleticism. Was able to meet guys at the rim and contest shots. Really intriguing talent for [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] GRV 17u.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2408663"],"_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-6a5baf8a5ac14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the lone bright spots for WeDifferent 812 17u in a lopsided loss was 5'7” Guard [player_tooltip player_id='2408663' first='Elijah' last='Chinn'] who poured in 20 points. Balanced game scoring 10 each half, but wasn't the most efficient. Confident shooter with deep range and good elevation, just couldn't get much to fall. Had a nice stretch in the second half where he knocked down back to back 3's and showed he's capable of playing off the bounce and creating open looks for others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
