Was tasked to guard guards since Bullet Central didn't have much size. Did a good job putting the ball on the floor and driving to the rim with either hand. Crafty around the rim, made a tough left hand layup look easy. They can play thru him in the high post because of his passing ability / guard skills.","_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":"Jack Armstrong","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Spencer County","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"Back to the basket big. Ton of potential. Good touch, made a tough, contested jump hook that was impressive. Never got sped up in the post and was good attacking the offensive glass to get easy baskets. Was most impressed with his ability to guard pick and rolls as he moves his feet laterally really well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Jed Hamilton","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Highlands Latin","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Hamilton is an undersized big that is a matchup nightmare for opposing teams due to his quickness and versatility. Although he is one of the biggest players on his team, he plays more like a guard. When he has to mix it up down low he can, but he thrives driving from the wing causing mismatches. He rebounds extremely well outside of his area and can defend multiple positions. Was really impressed with his play vs Portland Christian.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1369457"],"_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":"Krezmien is a big, strong big man that makes his presence known by his strength. He brings in tough 50/50 balls, can defend multiple positions with his good lateral quickness and can even step out and make catch and shoot 3's. He plays extremely hard and got a few easy baskets vs Holy Cross just by playing hard. Intriguing prospect.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2175408"],"_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":"Myers is a quick twitch big that affects the game even when he isn't scoring. His length and athleticism bothered shots around the rim which didn't show up in the box score. He was really good around the rim on dump offs. His next step of his development will be expanding his game and putting on some strength.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1572701"],"_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":"Miller had a solid outing vs Desales consistently scoring in the post and grabbing tough rebounds out of his area. What gets me most excited about his game is his ability to score with either hand in traffic. Has great touch around the rim which makes him a threat every time he touches the ball. Mid-major coaches should be all over him, I really like his game.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1228481' first='Will' last='Gibson']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Desales","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Gibson is a versatile forward/center that plays more like a guard. He is decisively quick and can put the ball on the floor and drive past defenders. He is crafty around the rim to score with either hand which gave Cov Cath's bigs some issues. His best part of his game was playing like a point forward. Has elite vision and passing ability to get guys easy looks.
