up in WV's northern panhandle in Wheeling.  Salazar is described as high skill level in everything imaginable on the floor.  So skilled he was a part of the Spain 16U National team that won the World Championships last year.  If you can track Linsly's basketball program I think you'll start to see some talk around Salazar's offers soon, and we'll report it here.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2319942"],"_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":"[player_tooltip

legendary coach Dave Wojcik will undoubtedly boost his progression of improvement with a challenging schedule and day to day practice that the Linsly program brings.  Only a junior, but his size

coaches.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2295581"],"_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":"[player_tooltip

weakness with abilities to go off the bounce and pull up.  His game is growing rapidly and he'd be a solid D2 projection at the moment, but growth physically and on the floor could push it higher.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2320282"],"_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":"[player_tooltip
