Good rebounder for his size and an active cutter that has the ability to finish plays around the basket. [player_tooltip player_id='3782191' first='Max' last='Hamlin'] is a 6'0” Guard out of Evansville Memorial that is a streaky shooter but has a smooth release that just lacks some confidence. Has a chance to be in the starting lineup for the Tigers as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3782199"],"_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-6abafaca0c44d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Returning varsity contributor for what should be an improved Evansville Central Bears squad. Solid frame forward that is an excellent shooter off the catch. Unselfish teammate that is a great cutter off the ball with size to finish around the basket.

[player_tooltip player_id='3476218' first='Merexx' last='Kuester'] is a 6'4” Wing/Forward that will impact the game inside the paint on both ends with his length and athleticism. Inside-out game with a high motor.

Had a really good summer for Hoop Club and a productive June for the Huskies. [player_tooltip player_id='3675115' first='Andrew' last='Smith'] has good size at 6'7” and rebounds and protects the rim well. Has also shown his potential as a floor spacer off the catch.
