Week 1 Standout Seniors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's check in on some of the standout players at the start of their senior seasons. I saw a ton of guards lighting it up and a pair of big men who happened to go head-to-head in a close game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1587945"],"_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":"Brown's always shown a propensity to sink the outside shot but he has elevated that part of game again this season. He opened up their game against Montesano with a few deep threes and also showed continued improvements on the defensive end where he made good reads to jump passes and was able to tip a number of others. He'll be counted on to deliver in a big way this season and even showcased some skill facilitating the ball.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1978873"],"_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":"Peev has a textbook stroke from behind the arc and did a great job spacing the floor when off the ball. On the ball, he's a speedy guard who can get consistent penetration with an explosive first step. That acceleration also plays a role in transition and his ability to catch the outlet and get his team off to the races.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1612208"],"_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":"Dollar led his team to a narrow victory over Nathan Hale and did so with a nice balance of playmaking and scoring. He found some rhythm from 3-point but also showed an ability to get downhill in a hurry and use on-ball picks to perfection. He has excellent vision in traffic and created good, high percentage looks with his passing.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1612190"],"_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":"He continues to physically look more like a wing, but Wiggins still has the strength to muscle up shots inside and did a lot of that early on in their game against Lincoln. A good mix of tough finishes and good position under the hoop, combined with some powerful drives from the perimeter gave him an effective night scoring the ball. And while he's got the power to get downhill, he also showed he can turn his man and work angles too.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1598394"],"_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":"The new Beach big man was a force in their first game of the year against Timberline. He continually set up right on the block where he only needed a dribble or two to get his shot off. He went to multiple moves, going either direction, and continues to show improvements in the post both technically and finishing through defenders. Aside from a few possessions, he was able to convert on the majority of his touches.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1463069"],"_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":"Gipson matched up with the aforementioned Robinson for most of their game and considering he gives up about three to four inches, did a commendable job. Timberline relies on Gipson and his strength to be their frontcourt tone setter and he came through against Beach with a solid game on both ends. Although he was off the mark most of the night with his jumper, he found a lot of success in and around the paint off rolls, dives, and offensive boards.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1710051"],"_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":"Quick and aggressive on both ends, Hatcher is a full court player who thrived on keeping his dribble alive and getting paint touches. He's a smaller guard but his pace and handle allow him to create angles for drives, shots, and passes when it looks like he's surrounded.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1450939"],"_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":"DuBreuil is a strong guard who played to that advantage by working a lot of times with his back to the hoop. Whether he was working in close and looking to finish a two-to-three-footer or posting up further out and finishing with a turnaround jumper, he was able to get where he wanted with a bruising style of play. He also looks to have improved the jump shot, especially from 3-point where he knocked home a few triples. He looks ready to have a very solid season at Issaquah.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656948a65e223"} /-->
