Florida Prospects’ Summer Report Card

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the summer circuit officially in the books and the new school year underway, it's time to hand out some report cards. From elite scorers to lockdown defenders, these five prospects stood out throughout the summer and earned some of the highest grades in their respective categories.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Finishing: [player_tooltip player_id='3551946' first='Reggie' last='Hayes']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3551946"],"_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-6a7e0ea700d1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hayes was punishing the rim all summer while running with the KT Kings. He excels in transition, whether on or off the ball, sprinting to the rim and beating defenders for easy dunks. He is relentless in the half court as well, using his handle to get into the lane and finish through traffic. His off the dribble shooting also looked fantastic, as he showed the ability to step back for threes or stop on a dime for midrange pull ups. Hayes is headed to Calvary Christian Academy and looks to be a big pickup for one of the state's best teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Grade: A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Scoring: Zack Dawson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2294546"],"_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-6a7e0ea700e43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There's a conversation to be had about whether Dawson raised his stock more than any other player in the state this summer. Now holding 10+ Division I offers, Dawson is going to bring a winning culture wherever he plays. He's a skilled guard with a huge bag and tremendous shooting ability, with the confidence to let it fly from anywhere. His tight handle allows him to get wherever he wants on the floor, while his strong frame helps him body defenders and draw fouls. A two time state champion with two years left to go, there's no limit to how high Dawson can go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Grade: A+</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Perimeter Defense: [player_tooltip player_id='2397037' first='Lunden' last='Knights']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2397037"],"_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-6a7e0ea700f3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Knights made a huge statement this summer, cementing himself as one of the top players in the class of 2028 in the state. He's a two-way player who is bought in on both ends of the court. Knights is a pest defensively, providing intimidating full court pressure that leads to countless turnovers. At 6'3 with his athleticism, he's also able to come up with blocks, adding another layer to his already elite defense. Offensively, Knights gets it done as well. He's a great catch and shoot player who gets his shot off quickly and efficiently, while his nasty handle allows him to blow past defenders and get to the rim. Knights is another pickup for CCA who adds depth to an already elite squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Grade: A+</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Interior Defense: [player_tooltip player_id='2950870' first='Chudier' last='Diew Yak']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2950870"],"_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-6a7e0ea701027"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Diew Yak has been improving at an exponential rate. His length instantly stands out, but what keeps your attention is his feel for the game. He's extremely mobile and can cover ground quickly, especially on the defensive end. Diew Yak is a fantastic help defender, and his combination of length and athleticism makes him a ridiculous rim protector. His offensive potential also makes him such a highly sought after talent, as he has a nice touch around the rim and great hands for catching lobs. Diew Yak is headed to Montverde Academy, and he will be a name known around the nation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Grade: A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Shooting: [player_tooltip player_id='3722590' first='Lamorris' last='Sellers']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3722590,"_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-6a7e0ea701106"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sellers was a sniper from downtown while playing with [program_tooltip program_id='2075915' first='Team' last='Speights'] this summer. He consistently found open looks and knocked down shots, especially in transition when he slides to the corner. Sellers also showed flashes of off the dribble creation by attacking the rim, while his ability to cut to the basket adds another dimension to his offensive game. Sellers is the type of player every team needs because of the value he provides as both a shooter and defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Grade: A-</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
