The make was so smooth and timed perfectly that it looked like it was done by a professional. He's a player that we talk about as high level because of that consistency of touch and if he has this type of improved dribble separation game his play will move to an even higher level. I left his game thinking he is a higher prospect than when I started watching Charlie today </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2139462"],"_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-6ab816d577876"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I think Eddie is going to do a ton of great things for Big Lake next winter. Good frame, moves well, and the touch with feet set and off the dribble are far better than I thought. He has the frame of a college player at the D3 level and Eddie scored 11 points a game as a junior. Good passer, had a good season with the Titans at 17u. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2950985"],"_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-6ab816d5778cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Momo grabbed my attention first with his slashing score timing a cut perfectly, and then he faced up and beat his man off the dribble for a score on the left side. Wleh has excellent length and he moves well both up and down and laterally. Adding his potential to what Anoka has makes me think the potential for what they can do in the future is even better than I first though. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396187"],"_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-6ab81bd49afcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I walk in the gym and Ward standing two foot leap dunks. No step forward, just a standing leap. He then cuts to score again, then d-boards and pushes for his team to score, and then blocked a shot in retreat. A strong, athletic forward that plays bigger than his 6'4 size, but can do all the things you need a slashing three man to do as well. But as a four he over powers guys and then just leaps over them, so he can do that too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2448956"],"_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-6ab81bd49b014"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christian played some varsity and some JV last season, and today it definitely looked like he's taken some steps forward to help his team even more as a senior. In a fast paced game where there was talent on the floor, I thought Christian's mix of scoring versus moving the ball, and his transition decision making was really good. Scored a few key baskets down the stretch and made a nice impression. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
