Christian displayed great footwork and has grown more fundamentally where he can guard out on the perimeter as well. On the offensive end, Christian has expanded his game into becoming a reliable shooter from 15 feet and in. Christian will be a key player to watch for Rockledge this upcoming season as he continues to improve his game.","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2214185' first='Julian' last='DeClou']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Hagerty","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Southeast 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":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='2214185' first='Julian' last='DeClou'], u003c/strongu003eA 6-4 sophomore guard has become adaptable to being able to play out on the wing as he played with a ton of length and athleticism. DeClou showcased his talent where he can score on all three levels on the offensive end as well as play very good on-the-ball defense. DeClou will be a name to keep an eye on as he continues to thrive as a go-to threat for offensive sets.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1633117"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1633117' first='Kymani' last='Dixon'], u003c/strongu003eA 6-0 sophomore guard plays tough on both ends of the floor where he can be extremely dangerous when finishing on the attack. Dixon played with a great edge and played with an unselfish knack as he was getting his teammates involved throughout the day. His defensive presence was what stood out to me as he applied on-the-ball pressure as well as being active reading passes and being a disruptor in the lanes.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":2213428,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Brandon Haughton","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Trinity Catholic","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2145866' first='352' last='Soldiers']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eBrandon u0022BJu0022 Haughton u003c/strongu003ewas one of the best point guards I saw at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo. He was explosive in the open court on the offensive end where he made things easy for his teammates on the offensive end. Haughton is also an emerging prospect on the defensive end where he showed great activity in the half-court jumping passes as well as getting steals which lead to baskets on the other end. He also brought smooth handles and can finish above the rim on the offensive end. Don't be surprised if we are talking about this prospect's growth the next three years.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":2213443,"_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Gavin Paterson","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Process Academy","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076419' first='Judah' last='Nation']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eGavin Paterson, u003c/strongu003eA 6-1 sophomore combo guard has a gift to score on all three levels and is super athletic on the offensive end of the floor. He is considered to be an above-average rebounder for his size where he has strong hands and is quick to get the basketball in transition. Paterson showed his high IQ and plays under control where he doesn't force a ton of bad mistakes on the offensive end as well. His defensive skills are continuing to improve as he gets steals and strips without fouling which stood out to me at the Prep Hoops Top 250. Look for Paterson to have a good sophomore season as he brings huge upside to the table.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6512f2ac37019"} /-->
