A quick lead guard with the ability to hit shots well beyond the three point line, Keel continues to be one of the most productive 2026 guards in New England.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2341272"],"_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":"Ahmed has become nearly un-guardable when he catches it near the basket.

The result is that Ahmed is one of the most polished low post scorers in the region regardless of class.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":[2487641],"_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":"Bellot is quietly the engine of a talented CATS Academy team that features a number of talented division one guys like [player_tooltip player_id='1529071' first='Jaylen' last='Harrell'] and Julian Kabori. He did a great job of getting all of the CATs bigs involved throughout and made sure to get Harrell in places where he could score. He forced a couple of turnovers on the defensive end and overall did a good job of guarding on the ball.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2341301"],"_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":"Legentus got hot from beyond the arc, knocking down four en route to 15 points. He's more than just a shooter though, as he looked more than confident running a Brimmer offense that boasts the likes of [player_tooltip player_id='1205156' first='Andre' last='Mills'] (Texas Au0026amp;M) and [player_tooltip player_id='1081871' first='Bryce' last='Dortch'] (Rutgers).
