The 6'7 forward swats almost everything around the rim and rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor. Diop is good in the pick and roll game as he sets strong screens in the half court and rolls hard to the rim. He can also get position in the paint and runs the floor hard at both ends of the floor. Diop is one of the top rim-protectors in the class and should put that on display throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421371"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaad85732347"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paul jumped up 19 spots in the update and has the potential to move up even higher. The 6'9 post uses his length to swat shots around the rim and works hard on the offensive glass. Paul runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy baskets in transition. He is gaining more confidence on the offensive end and can get position in the paint. Paul's ability to control the paint at both ends of the floor is something that will help his stock in a big way this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2981747"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaad8573237b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gerckens went up five spots in the update and will be looking to be one of the top post prospects in the Shore Conference this season. The 6'9 post elevates for dunks in the half court and has a nice touch around the rim. Gerckens uses his strong frame to get position in the paint and is an underrated passer. He is a force on the glass and influences a ton of shots around the rim. Gerckens is a physical post prospect who should rack up double-doubles throughout the winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1493183"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaad857323ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Corrao moved up four spots in the update and will be looking to carry that momentum into the season. The 6'9 post has a clean release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Corrao can also put the ball on the floor and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is an underrated rebounder and holds his ground on the defensive end. Corrao's ability to stretch the floor and defend the paint is something that will help his game over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
