He's a long, wiry wing prospect that's shown he can get hot in a hurry from deep and make plays in a variety of ways given his length and athleticism.

He's been a top performer on the EYBL stage as he produced 18.6 ppg, 4.9 rpg, and 3.2 apg on 47.1 percent shooting from the field. He does a tremendous job of getting downhill and touching the paint as evidenced by his 109-132 free throw shooting on the season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1131546"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1131546' first='Rakease' last='Passmore'] moves back into the 3rd position after emerging on the 3SSB scene with [program_tooltip program_id='176947' first='Garner' last='Road'] and on the EYBL scene with Team Thad. Passmore looks to hit another gear after he made his debut with Team Thad this past weekend in Memphis. He showcased his abilities as a slasher, defender and athlete in producing 11.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg and 1.8 apg while finishing 57.9 percent shooting from the field.

He hasn't been the stronger perimeter threat but he's made up for it with his ability to get to the free throw line. He's 60-81 (74.1 percent) on the year.

He's shown he can operate with the ball in his hands a lot more though with Team Curry on the UAA stage while still maintaining his abilities as a defender, rebounder and playmaker.
