At 6-8 and with mobility, he's a prototypical modern big man who can stretch the floor, protect the rim, and finish around the bucket. He's continuing to add some strength to his frame, filling out his body, which is allowing him to finish at a more efficient rate in the paint. His ability to switch on the defensive end and shoot it from deep will make him a valued prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1199979"],"_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":"Galvin had a great sophomore season with the Tigers and followed it up with an explosive summer with the Iowa Barnstormers, showing the ability to play with or without the ball in his hands, as a scorer or a facilitator. He's one of the best shooters off the dribble in the state, with unlimited range and a lightning-quick release. He averaged 13.1 points and 2.5 assists on 42.4 3P% last season and will step into a primary scoring role for the Tigers this season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1381415"],"_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":"McKowen is a coach's son, and you can tell that's the case when you watch him play. He's a high IQ guard who knows where he needs to be on both ends of the floor at all times. He's a tough on-ball defender who moves his feet well and has quick hands. On the offensive end, he gets his teammates involved at a high clip and is also a knockdown shooter both off the dribble and the catch. He averaged 6.2 points and 2.3 assists a game as a sophomore, coming off the bench for the Cougars, and is ready to step into a starring role as a junior.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1288891"],"_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":"Goodman was good as a sophomore, averaging 15.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 steals a game, and then followed it up with a really good summer. Following a few key graduations for the Rams, he should have a huge junior year as both a scorer and playmaker. He's a better shooter than last year's percentages would indicate (30.8 3P%), and I would expect that number to increase substantially this season. He's a good athlete who can absorb contact and finish at the rim at a high clip, and he's a disciplined defender.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1172887"],"_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":"Schultz was great as a freshman for the Rams, averaging 10.2 points and 4.6 rebounds on nearly 59% shooting from the floor. He's a mobile 6-8 big man with great footwork, soft hands, and excellent touch around the rim. He has a variety of go-to post moves on the block with either hand, and he's working to extend his range, which will make him a really dangerous offensive weapon. On the defensive end, he's mobile enough to switch on the perimeter, and has the size to be a good rim protector.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1765553"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Gerdes barely played for the Tigers as a freshman, appearing in just eight games and seeing limited action in those games, but he exploded over the summer, picking up Division I offers from Bryant and Nebraska as a result. A mobile 6-8 forward who can score inside and out, protect the paint, and control the glass, he should be an important piece for Cedar Falls as a sophomore and a dominant force over the next three seasons.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1751096"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Readus is an explosive scoring threat who can get to the rim seemingly at will. He's a good athlete with a great first step and a strong mid-range game. He averaged 18.9 points and 2.6 assists a game at Davenport Central as a junior, and has transferred to North Scott for his senior year.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1437607"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Grant, who has committed to play his college ball at NAIA Morningside, is a tough, athletic guard who can create plays off the dribble for himself and his teammates. He sees the floor really well and is a talented passer. He's at his best when he's playing downhill and getting to the rim, where he's a good finisher through contact. He averaged 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 steals a game on 59% shooting as a junior.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1476938"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Wynter is a long, lanky guard who can really shoot it from deep, knocking down 39.5% of his 3-point attempts as a junior. He's a good defender who moves his feet and gets into passing lanes, and he's improving as a ball-handler and playmaker.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":9,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65144f8d78a78"} /-->
