He averaged 17.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists on 53-39-68 shooting splits as a junior for the Wolverines. He's still at his best when he's using his quickness, physicality, and athleticism to play downhill and get to the rim, but the improved jumper is a major added bonus.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1367437"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Another combo guard who can really shoot it is Borbeck, who knocked down 37.4% of his 3-point attempts as a junior and figures to step into a bigger scoring role as a senior following the graduation of leading scorer Ryan Dolphin. A 6-2 wing who can put the ball on the floor, post up smaller defenders, or shoot it off the catch, Borbeck averaged 13.5 points and 2.7 assists a game last season for the Spartans.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1167741"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Jones enjoyed a breakout junior year for the Trojans, averaging a team-high 17.4 points with 6.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists and impressive 52-37-79 splits. He's a big-bodied wing who can handle it and absorb contact on his way to the rim, and he showcased a smooth stroke out to the arc both off the dribble and the catch.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1171687"],"_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":"Courtney is a standout athlete on the hardwood and gridiron. He averaged 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.4 steals a game as a sophomore, coming off the bench in 24 of the 25 games he appeared in. He has good size and length, is a fantastic athlete who moves his feet on the defensive end, and he's able to put constant pressure on opposing defenses with his ability to get to the rim.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1171660"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"A high IQ lead guard with excellent handles and a great feel for the game, Johnson loves to get others involved first and foremost, but he's also a deadly shooter from deep (36.8 3P%) who can get scorching hot and carry a team offensively for stretches. He's the straw that stirs the drink for a potent Hawks offense.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1172912"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Uecker had no issues adjusting to varsity minutes in the CIML last year, averaging 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, each of which led the J-Hawks last season. He's a fantastic shooter (43.9 3P%) with a lightning-quick release both off the dribble and the catch, and he creates shots for himself and others at a high clip.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1171694"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Wright is a highly active 6-6 big man with tremendous skills on the glass. He has fantastic hands and a non-stop motor that he uses to dominate on the glass on both ends of the floor, averaging 12.7 rebounds a game (5.4 offensive, 7.3 defensive) to go with 13.7 points.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1381407"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Deng is a great athlete who thrives when he's playing downhill and using his athleticism and length to get to the rim for finishes through contact and above the rim. He's a dynamic three-level scorer who had an excellent summer with a tremendous D1 Minnesota team, shooting it really well from the arc and defending at a high level on the perimeter. He's primed to have a breakout sophomore year for the Tigers.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64fb46ff789a3"} /-->
