Standing at 6-4, Indrusaitis uses his size and ball handling in the open floor to create space off the dribble and knock down contested jumpers. Around the basket, the junior excels with his flurry of moves and ability to score with both hands to finish through contact. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1157230"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eStanding at 6-9 and 210lbs, Johnson is a physical specimen and is going to be a problem all weekend long for his matchups. His mix of size and athleticism is only the first layer of what the Fighting Illini commit brings on the basketball floor. Johnson is a skilled scorer whether he's putting somebody on a poster or knocking down a 15-foot jumper. Defensively, the 2024 grad's versatility and strength makes him a lockdown defender and matchup nightmare.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1157228"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA menace on the inside, Brown controls the paint on both sides of the floor with his towering size. Standing at 6-10, Brown rebounds the ball at an extremely high clip with his strong hands and long wingspan. The future Tarheel runs from block to block each possession and uses his highly efficient hook jump to score at will from inside. u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1279761"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA recent addition to the Mustangs, Holmes has played as a viable scoring option for St. Rita in his senior season. A strong-bodied guard, Holmes can score through contact on all three levels with spot-up capabilities and finishing around the tin. Defensively, his quick hands and strong base allows him to stay in front of his matchup without fouling to cause disruption on the other end. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63cff48b792e4"} /-->
