His hard work culminated in an 18-point 10-rebound game against the Georgia Stars, making 9-of-13 FGs. While a lot of his buckets came of o-boards and second chance points, Reyna also showed some quick moves to get to the middle from the blocks, the ability to finish with either hand, and even stepped out to knock in a 3. He averaged 13 PPG over the weekend.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2140855"],"_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 defensive difference maker played with great energy and hustle over the weekend. Most kids his age like to go for blocks in run down situations but Wiggins is a kid who wants to, and can, beat guys to the spot to force tough shots. He consistently sprinted back in transition to cut guys off outside the paint, and showed great anticipation and quickness while guarding multiple positions. He's able to harass a vast array of sizes and skillsets with his defensive work.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2140825"],"_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":"Haywood is an elite finisher, and although he can score from every level, he's most effective working into gaps inside and finishing near the cup. He combines great burst, acrobatics, and strength to finish at various angles and through multiple defenders. He's able to work slow or fast with the ball and shows great patience and change of speeds. He averaged 19.4 PPG and score 20+ in three of their games over the weekend.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2026055"],"_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":"Huston has one of the silkiest strokes I've seen this spring and is a high-level scorer who can get it done at every level, though he looks most gifted at scoring off the dribble on the perimeter. He's smooth in and out of his dribble combos and into his shot, and sets up his shots with excellent balance and lift on nearly every attempt. He went up for a huge backdoor alley-oop play too, showcasing some sneaky athleticism. Huston averaged 17.8 PPG but take out his first game clunker (four points) and he averaged 21.3 PPG in their final four games.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2173107"],"_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":"Davis first stands out for his ability to hit from deep, and he had three games over session two with 2+ 3PM. But aside from his quick, repeatable stroke behind the arc, he also handled the rock a lot and has a decent frame to go along with some quick bursts that make him a secure ballhandler. He looked very comfortable bringing the ball down and setting things in motion, and was also able to convert on a few nice runners when attacking the middle.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643bc5ad2556"} /-->
