<p>I will be posting evaluations based on what I observed from every team that participated in the DMV Top-250. Here is a look at those who played on Team 5. </p>

<p><strong>player_tooltip player_id='2148757' first='Truman' last='Barker'] | Freedom-South Riding (VA) '26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I how Barker can progress the ball with his dribble. I saw him beat the first defender on many occasions, once for a score and once to set up the next open man. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2148679' first='Willie' last='Bennett'] | Fairfax Christian (VA) '26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bennett is a left-handed guard who plays with a great tempo. He is shifty with the ball and gets to his spots confidently. I saw Bennett score from all three levels. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2148860' first='Joel' last='Chigbo'] | Evergreen Christian (VA) '24</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chigbo is a 6'4" forward who was one of the better finishers I observed at the event. He scored with either hand and demonstrated good footwork, patience, and strength around the rim. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2148854' first='Nathan' last='Galeone'] | McLean School (MD) '25</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Galeone is a 6'3" guard who struck me as a knockdown shooter. I thought he was equally effective while shooting on the move as he was when standing still. Galeone has sharp footwork and is in constant movement off the ball.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146762' first='Jacob' last='Moore'] | Paul VI (VA) '25</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Moore is 6'7" with a quick first step and a blossoming face-up game. He is comfortable putting it on the deck and making plays. Moore is also a crafty finisher. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2148749' first='Shane' last='Morrison'] | Wakefield (VA) '25</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morrison exhibited quick reaction time whenever a ball came loose in his area. He also made swift decisions that often resulted in him assisting an open teammate. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1782656' first='TJ' last='Moultrie'] | Archbishop Spalding (MD) '26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dynamic is a word I would use to describe Moultrie. At 6'3", he has good ball control and burst. Moultrie scored from multiple areas on the floor. He showcased strength when finishing and at the point of attack on defense. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2148767' first='Jordan' last='Smith'] | Evergreen Christian (VA) '25</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smith is a 6'1" guard with a nice feel for the game. He understands when to make a post entry and cut or when to attack from an iso. Smith uses a go-to crossover that helps him beat his man to the cup. </p>
