<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Team 5's featured prospects showed several ways to contribute offensively at the Prep Hoops Alabama Expo, from stretching the floor to creating opportunities around the basket. [player_tooltip player_id='3608495' first='Kayden' last='Carter'] paired his three-ball with disruptive defensive activity, while [player_tooltip player_id='3723651' first='Jayden' last='Eggleston'] worked inside the arc with pull-ups, floaters, and finishes off the bounce. [player_tooltip player_id='3552755' first='Carsyn' last='Pharr'] found scoring opportunities through perimeter shooting, cutting, and driving, and [player_tooltip player_id='3681154' first='Cohen' last='Crumly'] showed body control through contact along with defensive rebounding. This breakdown takes a closer look at what each player brought to the action and the areas to track as their games continue to develop...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[3608495],"_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-6abc7d1f64d1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Kayden gave his team activity on one end and floor spacing on the other. Multiple steals highlighted his ability to disrupt possessions, while multiple made threes showed that defenders had to account for him behind the arc. That is a useful combination for a guard who can affect the game without dominating the ball. His three-ball can create room for teammates to attack, and his defensive activity can turn stops into opportunities to run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3723651"],"_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-6abc7d1f64d5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Jayden showed a scoring package with real value inside the arc. He got to pull-up twos, finished off cuts, and created multiple layups with the dribble drive. He showed a floater over two defenders showing another answer when the lane became crowded. He also stayed active after the initial attempt, converting offensive rebounds into putbacks, while steals added defensive production. His ability to score with and without a live dribble made him useful in different actions. Continuing to recognize when the help has committed and a teammate is open will make that paint pressure even more productive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3552755"],"_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-6abc7d1f64d7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Carsyn found scoring opportunities through cuts, the three-ball, and dribble-drive layups. The mix is useful because it gives him ways to contribute both with and without the ball. His cutting can punish defenders who lose sight of him, while the perimeter shot creates a reason to close out, and the drive gives him a way to attack that response. Continuing to sharpen the timing of his movement and his passing reads off the drive will help him build on the scoring actions already present.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3681154"],"_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-6abc7d1f64d9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Cohen showed a physical finishing presence, using body control to score through contact. He also secured defensive rebounds, adding a way to finish possessions at the other end. The ability to keep his line and complete a drive through contact is an encouraging part of his offensive game. He showed thoughout the day energy to and the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
