Prep Hoops Expo – Game Two Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second set of players hit the court in round two and this is who stood out to us the most! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2843124"],"_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-6ab80bfb24107"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Izaak had three scores in the first four possessions. First he made an overwhelming post move against one of the better centers in the state to finish, then he scored on an attacking move sweeping across the lane, that was followed by a dunk, and then a dribble separation move beating the five off the dribble and scoring with a ten foot pull-up. The mid-range jumper was good and I loved the aggression that DePoint used going at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DePoint is a guy that I think should be a top D3 frontcourt recruit, and a guy NAIA schools should look at. Huge senior year coming. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140575"],"_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-6ab80bfb24183"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cameron did a lot of ball handling at 6'5 and I thought he did it well despite guards trying to routinely bother him. Wodele has some nice shake both right and left with that handle, and I thought he moved the ball exceptionally well too. Moved his feet well laterally, and all around was a versatile player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3651876"],"_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-6ab80bfb241d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wisdom is listed here for Two Rivers but signed up as Eagan. If he is at Eagan, the Cats really do have a nice frontcourt of players to work with this year. The junior rebounded actively and played with energy throughout the second game. A junior top 50 big man was not able to block Wisdom out and he gave his team numerous second chances. Moves well up and down, laterally, and quick off his feet. Solid potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2423970"],"_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-6ab80bfb2421c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The biggest impression made was on defense. Amine was contesting, blocking and collecting at the rim regularly. There was a lot of size on these courts and I thought Amine held his own pretty well. Amine had an 8th man role last year on the second place team in state and based on the potential we saw today, he should really be able to help the Eagles playing next to Hutton. I like that returning frontcourt pair for the Eagles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2464702"],"_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-6ab80bfb24261"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The St. Paul Johnson forward is somebody we talked about this week in our preview for the City league. He scored a couple buckets a game last year and could have a bigger role this year based on the slashing finishes we saw during the Expo today. Elijah had a halfcourt two step to the rim dunk that had the people on the baseline howling and he was really good in the open floor. Active player today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2848611"],"_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-6ab80bfb242a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones of Minneapolis North is flashing a ton of potential out here. Just knocked out a three (his third) and the touch looks pretty good plus he has boarded and defended the paint really well. Really like his help defensive potential as he is getting to spots quickly and putting that 6'7 length to well timed usage. Another player that I think will really help North this year, and they have many. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2879718"],"_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-6ab80bfb242e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is a 6'9 big that really knows how to play and uses his big frame so well. Had a couple really impressive blocks, cut to the rim for some quality finishes including a couple dunks, and he cleared the way for players with ball screens. Plays his role very well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
