Team United would come out of the gates firing on all cylinders led by the exploits of top 2025 prospects [player_tooltip player_id='1225669' first='Sadiq' last='White Jr']., [player_tooltip player_id='1164550' first='Zymicah' last='Wilkins'] and stock-rising wing [player_tooltip player_id='1487712' first='Trajan' last='Thompson']. Team United set quite the tone on defense in the first half as they held Team CP3 to just seven first-half field goals on 29.2 percent shooting to jump out to an early lead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After that, Team United ultimately never looked back as they cruised to victory and continued to impose their will on the defensive end against Team CP3. As a team, Team United finished with eight steals and forced 13 turnovers as a squad while shooting 47.5 percent from the field as a team. Thompson and White finished with 18 points apiece while [player_tooltip player_id='1252217' first='Kaden' last='Magwood'] and Wilkins finished with eight points apiece. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team CP3 didn't have the greatest outing but [player_tooltip player_id='1076329' first='Zion' last='Collins'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1239537' first='Isaiah' last='Henry'] did manage to put together solid all-around numbers on the rebounding and scoring front. As they learn to limit their turnovers as a unit, they'll be a force to be reckoned with. In the end, Team United got a 69-53 victory and some under-the-radar names put themselves fully on the radar on the EYBL stage in 16U action. Both teams will be back in action on May 26-28 in Session IV in Memphis.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225669"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1225669' first='Sadiq' last='White Jr']. put together arguably his best overall performance of the EYBL season as he finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a block on 9/15 FG on the day.
