He displayed his bounce and anticipation skills grabbing a good rebound and looking to push the ball in transition. [player_tooltip player_id='2821823' first='Angelo' last='Ward'] has a solid motor and commits to the defensive end of the floor. This junior combo guard showed his toughness and got better this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3728772"],"_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-6ab9bdf44217c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jomon is a skilled combo guard who has a great shot form and sees the floor well. He has good size and length for his position. Defensively, he stays in front of his man and competes looking to force turnovers. Jomon has a solid reach and wingspan that he used to secure a tough rebound. [player_tooltip player_id='3728772' first='Jomon' last='Robinson'] has strong open court athleticism and paired with a solid frame. He converted a put back layup. This junior guard is looking to make an impact at Emmanuel Christian and will be a guard to watch in Northeast, Ohio!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2933647"],"_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-6ab9bdf4421d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Genesis made a number of tough buckets as he showed off his elite athleticism at The Expo. He has excellent burst paired with a deceptive quickness to impact both ends of the floor. [player_tooltip player_id='2933647' first='Genesis' last='Issa'] has a nice isolation game he uses to create opportunities for himself at the rim. He has stellar shot mechanics and ability to rise and fire hitting threes off the bounce and in the catch and shoot. Genesis surprised me when he attempted to throw down a crazy poster dunk! He's dangerous going downhill to the basket with his next level speed and crafty finishing. Genesis is looking forward to putting it all together for an excellent junior year at Willoughby South!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3780665"],"_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":3780878,"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab9bdf442235"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parker has good size and speed, love his ability to get to the basket at will! He has great shot mechanics and is able to hit corner threes. [player_tooltip player_id='3780665' first='Parker' last='Davis'] has a great motor and feel on the offensive end cutting and moving without the ball. He had a great boxout to secure a rebound. Davis is a solid defender with elite anticipation skills. Davis is looking forward to making even bigger strides in his junior year at Malvern!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3594669"],"_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":3780664,"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab9bdf442287"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaiah is a skilled point guard who is capable of finishing at the basket with strength. I like his court vision as a facilitator. He finished a fluid and-1 in the paint. [player_tooltip player_id='3594669' first='Isaiah' last='Stroud'] dominates with his motor and his mindset to be the best on the floor. He is a tough matchup at the point guard position. This senior combo guard is looking to make a big impact this year at Cincinnati Northwest!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2934628"],"_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-6ab9bdf4422c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mark is an exceptional ball handler with next level ability to create separation off the dribble. He's a natural facilitator who keeps his eyes up looking for his teammates. He had a nice wrap around pass to his teammate for a score. Mark showed that he can convert difficult baskets and finish and-1s. I liked his on-ball defense and willingness to sit down and create pressure on the ball handler. This combo guard is gearing up for a big season at Gahanna Lincoln!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2530384"],"_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-6ab9bdf442308"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This combo guard offers versatility on both ends of the floor. [player_tooltip player_id='2530384' first='Anthony' last='Cole'] plays with a high motor and competes defensively on every play. He has a good combination of size and fluidity for a guard. Definitely have to respect him in the halfcourt with the ball. No doubt he is a difference maker on both ends of the floor. This active and athletic junior guard is looking forward to putting together a solid year at Mt. Healthy this season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Brody Burkett","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"United Jr Sr","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Big Shot Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab9bdf442398"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brody is a confident guard with good positional size. He is a capable scorer in the halfcourt with his separation he creates with his ball handling. I like his high IQ and motor that he competes with on both ends. Brody Burkett likes to take and make big shots. This lengthy and tall combo guard is locked in to have a special senior season at United! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
