Offensively, he found production in different ways, scoring around the basket while also displaying the touch and skill to operate away from the paint. Agbo was equally productive on the glass, pursuing rebounds on both ends and creating additional opportunities with his activity. His motor was a consistent part of his play, as he competed through possessions and found different ways to contribute without needing the offense to run through him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3759015,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3759016,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a9b3da538492"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan Alexander provided an intriguing look at his long-term potential at BallIsWife Camp, particularly with how naturally his game translated around the basket. He found success finishing inside, stayed active on the glass and consistently worked himself into productive positions near the rim. There is still plenty of room for Alexander to grow and become more polished, which is expected at this age, but the foundation is there. His activity, rebounding and comfort operating inside give him a game that should continue to translate well as he develops physically and expands his skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3759018,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3759021,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a9b3da5384ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gerald Boone displayed an advanced skill level from the lead guard position at BallIsWife Camp, consistently giving his team quality possessions with the basketball in his hands. He was shifty off the bounce, played with excellent control and used a tight handle to change directions and work his way through pressure. Boone was at his best initiating offense, where his ability to create off the dribble helped get teammates involved while also opening opportunities for himself. His combination of ball skills, creativity and comfort as a primary handler gave him the tools to consistently get his team going offensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3759022,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3759023,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a9b3da53853f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacob Coley played with a noticeable amount of speed and energy at BallIsWife Camp, using his quickness to make things happen on both ends of the floor. With the basketball, he pushed the pace, attacked openings and consistently looked to create when opportunities developed. Coley was just as active defensively, where his quick hands allowed him to pressure opposing guards, disrupt possessions and get himself into passing lanes. His motor remained steady throughout his time on the floor, giving him the ability to influence the game with his activity whether he had the basketball or not.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3759069,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3759074,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a9b3da538594"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacob Combs established himself as one of the more advanced offensive players at BallIsWife Camp with his ability to score from all three levels. He was capable of creating offense off the bounce, getting downhill for finishes and converting from the perimeter when defenders gave him space. Combs had multiple ways to manufacture a quality look, which made it difficult for defenders to take away one particular part of his game. His scoring ability consistently added value to his team's offense, and he displayed an impressive offensive package for a player at this stage of his development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more from Prep Hoops Next!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
