<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven prospects who stood out through the first two games I've seen this week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284167"],"_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":"In a key conference matchup for South, Jorgensen was locked in. He showcased his versatile game on both ends, as he was finishing at a high rate inside, dropping some dimes out of the post and off the drive, and was cleaning up the glass on the defensive end. Nearly finishing with a 2u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e0/20 stat-line, Jorgensen's rebounding ability limited any second chances that South was able to get, and it really helped Washburn dictate the pace of the game. Offensively Kyle had a big size advantage and was able to go to work with his back to the basket, while also showcasing his ability to put the ball on the floor and make plays from the perimeter. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1560746"],"_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":"Ryker played a key role off the bench in the win for Washburn. He's one of the best passers I've seen in the 2u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e026 class, as he has impressive vision combined with the handle to get to the spots needed to dish it out. The lefty was able to get into the paint, force a defender to step up on him, and deliver a no-look pass that no one else in the gym would have been able to make. Ryker has a point guard skillset in a 6'4 wing's frame, which makes him a versatile option as he can act as a facilitator or get to the rim and finish when needed.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1434055"],"_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":"Poet was doing everything he could to try to keep South in it with Washburn. The senior guard finished with 2u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e0 points as he showcased his deep shooting range. He started off the game with three deep 3's in the first half, forcing the defense to play even tighter on him well beyond the arc. He then adjusted in the second half and was able to get defenders trailing as he came off of screens, and instead of taking threes he was pinning his defender on his hip to attack the basket or get into a mid-range shot. Defensively he has good instincts to jump passing lanes and pick up steals, with one of those steals resulting in a transition dunk. One of the best players in Minneapolis this season.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1574223"],"_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":"CJ had an uncharacteristically quiet first half scoring 9 points and missing the last 7 minutes of the half with two fouls, but bounced back in the second half to help lead Richfield past Cooper. His fluidity and change of speeds at 6'3 makes him a difficult matchup, as he can extend and finish over smaller players with ease, but bigger wings usually can't stay in front of him. The jumper wasn't falling early so CJ made it a priority to get to the rim, and was doing so in the half-court and in transition. Showcased impressive body control as he was just hanging in the air and extending to finish from some difficult angles off the glass. Finished with 28 points in the win.","_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":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2412724' first='Dre' last='Collins']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Richfield","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"Richfield doesn't really have a u0022true bigu0022, but freshman [player_tooltip player_id='2412724' first='Dre' last='Collins'] does a great job of stepping in and playing bigger than his size. He's often defending taller players, and has the scrappiness to fight for good position and to find a body to box out as shots go up. His long wingspan helps him rebound the ball as well. Offensively he's a gifted finisher, and was working hard for his opportunities as he sprinted the floor in transition, made some nice off-ball cuts, and competed for offensive rebounds. Dre was consistently coming up with buckets throughout the game, and his efficient finishing saw him end the game with 15 points in a win.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2367918' first='Chance' last='Wicks']","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Robbinsdale Cooper","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Chance showcased some electrifying quickness against Richfield. He started to really get going in the second half as he tried to help Cooper recover from a deficit, as he was weaving in and out of traffic to get to the rim in transition. Wicks showed good instincts to jump passing lanes and pick up steals, and from there he had the speed to takeoff and get to the rim. Does a nice job of playing off two feet around the basket to go up and finish on-balance against taller players. Finished with a team high 17 points.","_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='2822382' first='Jahnial' last='Jones']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_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":"Robbinsdale Cooper","_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":"I couldn't find any height listed, but figured Jahnial is in the 6'5-6'6 range, and he showcased some nice potential at that size. He has a ton of length and moves effortlessly at that size, with some explosive pop around the basket. Showcased some soft touch around the rim for a few finishes in traffic, and was a main rebounding presence inside for Cooper. Finished with 13 point and will have one more year of high school to continue developing.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c233a3e116e"} /-->
