But [player_tooltip player_id='1406045' first='Zion' last='Moore'] absolutely deserves more attention. Moore can get to his spot wherever he is at on the floor with great footwork u002du002d using a lot of side steps and step backs to create space. Moore uses his body very well to create open shots for himself and has a smooth release that allows him to get his shot off over taller players. He's extremely explosive around the rim and projects as a three-level scorer at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1412596"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1466559' first='Calvin' last='Winfrey'] helped lead Uniontown to a 23-5 record and showed why he is one of the best point guards in the district. Winfrey plays with great feel and elevates the play of his teammates with his playmaking ability. He's a crafty finisher around the rim and can finish with either hand and is comfortable shooting off the dribble and the catch. The shot is fluid, and he does an excellent job of using crossover and hesitation dribbles to freeze defenders.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1188640"],"_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":"Blundo is one of the most efficient scorers in the WPIAL, averaging 22.7 points per game on 51% shooting on two-point field goals and 40% on three-point field goals. He's a big time shotmaker with deep range and is a strong creator off the dribble. Blundo can finish with either hand and has a great floater to finish over bigs inside. He takes good angles coming off screens and the catch-and-shoot ability will translate to the next level smoothly.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Max Butler ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Latrobe","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Butler is one of the best two-way players in the WPIAL. He's known for his scoring ability, but he understands defensive positioning very well and isn't afraid to take charges. He plays with anticipation on the defensive end of the floor and reads passing lanes well. Offensively, he's one of the best three-point shooters in the district and does it both off the catch and off the dribble with a repeatable release that doesn't change even when shooting from extended range. His passing ability is underrated - he's a terrific outlet passer and sees the floor well.","_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":"Jacob Dunkle","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Trinity","_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":"Dunkle is a modern-day big who plays with great anticipation on the defensive side of the ball. He doesn't bite on shot fakes, plays with verticality and great timing as a shot blocker. He is an elite rim protector and has the lateral quickness to guard multiple positions at the next level. On the offensive end, he can space the floor from the mid-range and is an explosive rim-runner who finishes strong around the rim.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6619b4fd967d8"} /-->
