Montemayo uses speed and agility to get downhill in a hurry. In the team's first game of the day he got to the stripe a couple of times after drawing contact from help denders. Impressed overall with the effort he provides in multiple phases. Made numerous hustle plays defensively to go along with multiple saves out of bounds earning his team the right to keep possession. Also showed nice creativity with a pump fake to get the defender to rise and then 1 dribble into his shot from midrange.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2689844"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a99c97be0596"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Plus wingspan for age. Munez impacted with ability to rebound, push on the break, and defend on the perimeter. Handled pressure in trapping situations adequately. Showed composure while attacking the rim. Earned most of his keep at the cup on finishes. Defensively applied solid on ball pressure utilizing his length to his advantage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3721786"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a99c97be05ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A true lead point guard who will suit up for De La Salle entering high school. Rhone combines quickness with advanced court vision and a strong feel for pace. He changes speeds effectively off the bounce and navigates tight gaps while keeping his dribble alive and maintaining awareness of the floor. Rhone consistently creates positive opportunities for teammates while keeping his head on a swivel in transition and making the correct read when he draws help. As a scorer he has soft touch around the rim, is comfortable with floaters and runners, and can create his own jumper off the bounce from both mid-range and 3 land.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2757691"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a99c97be0637"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">High energy guard that stuck out with a lot of defensive effort. Williams provided peskiness in the back court and tight on ball pressure to help create turnovers. Knew where to be at one pass away and anticipate the next play. Offensively he attacked the cup aggressively while drawing contact to earn trips to the line. He also shot it off the catch efficiently. Williams undersized stature is made up with fighting for loose balls, finishing plays until the whistle, and impacting as a 2 way prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3584334"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a99c97be067f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Broad physical guard that uses his frame to impacted the game defensively and on the glass. Secured defensive rebounds and then initiated the break phase with quick outlets. Showed active hands to jump the passing lanes at times. Stayed engaged away from the ball for help defense and closed out under control to contest perimeter shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3728851"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a99c97be06d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Active defender who used effort and positioning to help force a couple turnovers in team's first game of the day. Offensively showed some perimeter shooting ability from beyond the arc. Stayed engaged demonstrating ability to impact without needing the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3586220"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a99c97be071b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Provided spurts of activity in an off guard role. Dimitropoulos record a couple offensive rebounds on a free throw and a couple tough ones underneath amongst heavy traffic. Attacked down hill and was able to draw contact once to get to the stripe. Utilized ball screens at times and look comfortable operating in pNr scenarios.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2897245"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a99c97be0762"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An active interior prospect with matured tangibles and physical tools. Baker consistently impacted the glass game with his length and wingspan towering over others. He times misses well off the glass and tallied for at least a handful of offensive rebounds and a multitude of others on the d end. He provides a lot of rim protection as a shot blocker and can finish underneath through contact at times. As his coordination and skill to finish continue to develop around the basket, there is quite a bit of up side to look forward to in the coming years. With his size already, rebounding activity, and defensive presence, it gives him an advantageous slate of features to work with only heading into freshman year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
