<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sneakers squeaking in a high school gym, are the sounds of the high school season around the corner. We took our first trip to an open gym.

Elite skill set. Can play either guard spot. Flat out scorer. Can take over games. Scores from deep or on the drive. Excellent passer. Sees the floor really well.

We got to see it live once again. No more is he just a rebounding force inside. A glue type player. He displayed the ability to knock down the three. Hit the mid range jumper. At the same time punishing players inside off the glass or defending or scoring inside. Expect a break out season from Ben.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1360147"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Braylan like Ben as added some range to his game.  Knocked down some open threes.

One of the best Long Island players has transferred over to Stepinac. Jordan is an athletic big man. Has great hands.
