He has a strong first step that allows him to get by defenders to create. Showed some scoring versatility with knock down shooting ability beyond the arc and scoring buckets at the rim via dribble drive action. Seemed to always be in the midst of the play and had a willingness to compete overall in various scenarios.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2829613"],"_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-6a8f3ec10f955"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ruffin is a competitive lead guard who plays with a productive blend of physicality and pace. He is springy from the back court and utilizes it to elevator through traffic at the rim or on boards. His downhill driving forces defenses to consistently rotate where he has awareness to recognize help early. Throughout the day he made timely and accurate kick out reads to perimeter shooters beyond the 3 point line for assists. Off the dribble he can create separation and change speeds while having good body control once in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2624905"],"_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-6a8f3ec10f97a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Showed burst at times with the ball in his hands. Has ability to drive, distribute, and relocate into open spaces on the floor. Has plus offensive instincts as a facilitator and an understanding of how to find tight gaps. Alexander showed some impressive hangtime and bounce at the rim for size which allows him to adjust mid air and finish creatively around the rim. Three level scoring ability adds to his profile.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2819750"],"_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-6a8f3ec10f99a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lefty 2 guard who projects primarily as a perimeter shot maker with some versatility getting into his jumper. Comfortable generating rhythm off the bounce or working away from the ball into catch and shoot opportunities. Provides some spark on the glass and ran the floor well in the break phase as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2390391"],"_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-6a8f3ec10f9ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong framed wing from Romeoville with good positional size and fluid athleticism. Diambuana brings a blend of perimeter skill with inside touch and feel. His handle has some wiggle and ability to change direction with creative driving angles. He looked comfortable from mid range and beyond the arc making him a 3 level scoring asset. Processes transition opportunities well while running the floor with purpose alongside another top rated guard. Has plus jumping ability that only adds to his attributes. Overall a well rounded forward that will impact with versatility as a 3 or 4 man at this stage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194657"],"_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-6a8f3ec10f9d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hall has prototype positional size and a natural operating fit at the two guard slot. He provided value as a perimeter shot maker and displayed a repeatable catch and shoot presence that will demand defensive attention beyond the arc. At times Hall attacked over closeouts and got into the lane to help further collapse defenses. A floor spacing wing whose shooting will open up teammates driving lanes and create additional opportunity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2369677"],"_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-6a8f3ec10f9f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perimeter oriented wing with consistent shooting activity beyond the arc. Porter shows a compact catch and shoot game with confidence to rise over defenders closeouts with length. His offensive game extends beyond the scoring department as he also showed ability to attack off the bounce via baseline or from the wing into the paint to make quick connective passes or score it himself. Defensively Porter will affect on the ball and in denial lanes with his length and activity. The standout Sobo will be slated for another volume scoring season going into his senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2467517"],"_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-6a8f3ec10fa13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hawkins has advanced court awareness where he consistently reads and anticipates movement before opportunities fully develop. The best guard at the event with vision while handling. He uses ball screens with patience and poise and after coming off will manipulate help defenders while creating advantages for himself and others. Around the rim his craft further shows with ability to change speeds while using body control with a diverse finishing package. Hawkins can absorb contact on drives and not be phased while having the ability to finish for and1 opportunities. Defensively he stays connective at the point of attack with disciplined and quick lateral movement with a strong ability to beat the handler to his spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
