Prep Hoops BatL: Iowa Frost 17U Evals

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I unfortunately wasn't able to make it up to Minneapolis for my usual Battle at the Lakes trip, but thanks to the streaming options on BallerTV, I was able to check out each of the Iowa teams in attendance this weekend. In this article, I take a look at the players from Iowa Frost 17U, from their game against More Than Hoops.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1546586"],"_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":"Franklin is a good athlete on the wing who pounds the glass on both ends of the floor. He moves well without the ball, cutting to the bucket for easy finishes, and he displayed good body control around the rim with the ability to finish through contact. He finished with 8 points and a handful of rebounds in Frost's win.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1381416"],"_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":"The future Iowa tight end is a force on the hardwood as well, with his soft hands, plus athleticism, and strong frame proving to be difficult for opposing teams to contend with. He finishes through contact and is relentless on the glass on both ends of the floor. He showcased some court vision and playmaking operating out of the high post area and finished with a team-high 16 points.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2389820"],"_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":"The junior-to-be is playing up a grade level and was impressive with his command of the offensive attack. He sees the floor really well and is a skilled passer who likes to get his teammates involved. He operates well in ball screen actions and can get to his mid-range spots effectively off the dribble. He's a capable three-level scorer, but he's at his best when he's attacking, getting the defense to collapse, and finding open teammates for jumpers or layups.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2398037"],"_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":"Bielefeld is small, but despite his stature he contributed on the glass in a significant way. He shoots it well off the dribble and looks to push the tempo when pulling down a defensive board. His small frame would also seemingly prohibit him from finishing effectively in the painted area, but that wasn't a problem in this game, showing a solid floater and the ability to absorb and finish through contact. He had 10 points.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2392894"],"_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":"Ainley is a catch-and-shoot weapon with a quick release off the catch and really good off-ball movement that he uses to free himself up for open looks. He keeps the ball moving on the offensive end and contributes on the glass, but his biggest asset is his ability to space the floor with his shot.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2394706"],"_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":"A mobile, athletic 6-4/6-5 big man who runs the floor hard and does a great job establishing early position, Howland had 13 points in the win. He showed a bit of a face-up game, knocking down 15-footers on the baseline, as well as the ability to absolutely pound the offensive glass and get easy putbacks. He does a great job staying vertical when contesting shots, blocking shot without picking up fouls.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["2419796"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"A strong, physical wing who thrives when he's playing downhill and attacking the rim, McIntire is playing up two grades with this group, but fit in just fine physically. It's easy to see why he already holds a Division I football offer (Iowa State), powering through contact at the bucket for finishes while also displaying good touch and rotation on his jumper off the catch. He had 8 points in the win.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6641312c5c2b4"} /-->
