The Fairfield commit has a tight handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the rim. Mauro has a nice touch in the mid-range and can shoot either off the catch or bounce. He finds his open teammates in the half court and slides his feet on the defensive end. Mauro is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor 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":["2140352"],"_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-6aa9cd318dc63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bolden is one of the top forward prospects in the Garden State and is looking to put it on display during the course of the season. The 6'7 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Bolden can also put the ball on the floor and his range extends out to the three-point line. He is a strong rebounder and uses his length to influence shots around the rim. Bolden's ability to control the paint is something that will help his stock 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":["2234118"],"_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-6aa9cd318dc86"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Griffin Jr transferred into the Garden State from New York and should make an immediate impact on the hardwood. The 6'2 guard uses his first step to blow by defender off the bounce and can finish through contact around the rim. Griffin Jr finds his open teammates in the half court and can also play off the ball. He pushes the pace well in transition and gets deflections on the defensive end. Griffin Jr is a tough guard prospect who should run the offense and defend the ball at a high level 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":["2234303"],"_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-6aa9cd318dcac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seymour is primed to make an immediate impact for the Hawks as he provides them with scoring pop in the backcourt. The 6'3 guard has a nice handle, which he uses to get into the lane and can finish strong above the rim. Seymour is more than just a slasher as he has a high release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He is an underrated passer and moves his feet on the defensive end. Seymour is a talented guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor 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":["3717525"],"_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-6aa9cd318dccc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Salim is a lanky wing prospect who is primed to have a breakout season with his ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor. The 6'8 wing explodes off the floor for dunks and can also get position in the paint. Salim can also put the ball on the floor to get to the rim and has a high release on his jumper. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Salim is a lanky wing prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
