ZG NER Sims Varsity Division Team Analysis

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I attended the Zero Gravity NER tournament this past weekend. One team I saw play was the Sims Varsity division team. They were the tournament champions, and have a lot of notable prospects. The Simms teams plays a fast up tempo offense. They like to run the floor, and moved the ball well against the zone. On defense they played with high pressure and utilized an effective full court trap. Here is an analysis of the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1489297"],"_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_0_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/8F0D8758-A2EA-4A24-9170-D24E8F8C3B7E-scaled.jpegu0022 rel=u0022attachment wp-att-1613126u0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-1613126u0022 src=u0022https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/10/8F0D8758-A2EA-4A24-9170-D24E8F8C3B7E-225x300.jpegu0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eCharlie is a long versatile Forward. I was impressed with what I saw on Saturday. He shot the ball well, and did a number of things to impact the game. He has a good skill set to match his size. He can finish at or above the rim  with both hands. He  cuts hard away from the ball and he had a nice baseline cut for a bucket. He can score from the outside and inside, and can score in the post or in transition. On defense he can guard multiple positions and rebounds the ball well. He made good outlet passes off rebounds to start the offense. He has good hands, and that helped him get good positioning down low.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Kelvin Danforth","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Lexington Christian Academy ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Sims","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/EA636FAC-921A-4B39-BB22-D9FF9DB1B482-scaled.jpegu0022 rel=u0022attachment wp-att-1613204u0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-1613204u0022 src=u0022https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/10/EA636FAC-921A-4B39-BB22-D9FF9DB1B482-225x300.jpegu0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eThe 6-7 big man went to work this weekend. He is a strong built, who controls his body well and plays with poise. He is aggressive and finishes well in the post. He ran the baseline in his teams zone offense and also played the middle. He made some nice passes out to the wing to set his teammates up. He boxes out hard, and is very effective on the glass. He has a fundamental skill set down low, and can body people. He moves well for his size.  I liked what I saw from Kelvin and he has a strong upside to his game.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Diego Mello","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Wareham","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Sims","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/D720A369-1010-4779-A1CB-813AFD36A395-scaled.jpegu0022 rel=u0022attachment wp-att-1613250u0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-1613250u0022 src=u0022https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/10/D720A369-1010-4779-A1CB-813AFD36A395-225x300.jpegu0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eDiego is an aggressive guard, that can score in multiple ways.
