He will be looked upon to lead the team every night, especially on the offensive end of the court, but he will also be looked upon as the emotional leader of the team. He is undoubtedly the floor coach that his teammates will follow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2294693"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2297848,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66551beb677f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Thatkid_agee5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @TyAgee5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tyler is a volume shooter who can shoot it really well from deep. He scores at all levels and will be looked upon as the secondary scoring option on the team. Offensively, Coach Daniels knows what Tyler is bringing, but what brings a greater level of comfort is Tyler's play on the defensive end of the floor and how he defends on and off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Tripp Harris, III.</strong>&nbsp;(6'0/SG)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tripp is a knockdown shooter who will be an option around the arc for his teammates when they create off the bounce. His impact on defense will be seen as he is a very good off-ball defender and led his team in deflections last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Coaches Corner</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Coach Daniels believes he has one of the best backcourts in the state with [player_tooltip player_id='2291522' first='Braylon' last='Patton'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2294693' first='Tyler' last='Agee']. They are a great one-two punch, and even though they are high-level scorers as individuals, they do an amazing job complementing each other.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Coach Daniels will use June to look at his squad and their ability to control tempo and make teams uncomfortable while doing so. Their ultimate goal is to speed up patient teams and slow down faster teams. He will get his squad used to being a multiple-defense team that constantly throws different looks at opponents. Look for his top scoring options to get their looks, but Coach will look for other guys this June who can step up and provide scoring. Coming out of June, Coach Daniels hopes he can get a gauge on how deep he can go into his bench, as well as, how much more pressure his squad can put on teams above what they already do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Here is where you can find the Golden Gophers in the month of June:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 7: University of Alabama</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 11: Hoover HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 13: Vestavia HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 17: University of North Alabama</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 18: Homewood HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 21-22: AHSAA LIVE</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 28: Georgia Live Event</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
