We saw Williams taking contact in the chest on defense, boxing out on rebounds and using his shoulders to create shots in the low post. On the offensive end, Williams demonstrated the ability to put the ball on the floor and attack the paint from the perimeter with long strides and fluent steps.","_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":"Prince Amoah","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Westfield High School","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Virginia Elite ","_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":"Amoah did a good job of converting on potential scoring opportunities in the open court. Typically, the first to run out, Amoah was adept at making quick decisions in transition and fastbreak situations. When entering the paint, he was able to make dump-off passes to teammates through tight passing windows or kick out passes to shooters for assists. When the ball was not in hands, he did a good job of diving to the rim to receive easy shots at the basket as well as consistently moving into open space to keep himself available.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1494107"],"_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":"Standing at 6-foot-7 with great positional size, Barksdale handled the ball very fluently and comfortably for someone at his size and age. He was able to beat defenders off the dribble and absorb contact on drives to maintain his balance and finish at the rim in traffic. Barksdale displayed his potential as the pick and roll ball handler as well as his patience with a live dribble in traffic as we saw him scan the floor as he snaked through the defense before getting to the rim to draw the foul on the shot on one possession.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1372027"],"_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":"Throughout the weekend, Baines was able to get to his spots at will to make a play. He was able to do so by stopping on a dime from going full speed, using his tight handle to escape traps, and using his lightning quick first step to freeze defenders in place. Baines jump shot looked very good throughout the event as he knocked down jumpers from behind the arc as well as in the mid range area with confidence.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1489089"],"_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":"Goodman punished opposing defenders on the perimeter with his tight handle and high IQ with the ball in his hands. He showed his quick decision making and lead guard skills in a variety of ways. He was able to use his advanced handle, paired with quick foot speed, to get to the rim and finish in crowds. Goodman knocked down a very tough step-back three-pointer out of the triple threat position over a good contest on one possession. He also moved well off of the ball to create good catch and shoot opportunities. On Defense, Goodman was able to pick up loose balls and initiate fast breaks in a heartbeat, leading to transition assists.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645291d749a5c"} /-->
