Puma Basketball – 1Family c/o ’27 Florida prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we take a deeper dive into the future standouts in the state of Florida, shining a light on the class of 2027 who were impressive at Puma's event in Tampa last weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125495"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66934c0daa4f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing 5'8”, [player_tooltip player_id='2125495' first='Joshua' last='Hernandez'] may be one of the shortest players from last weekend, but he brought it each and every possession. Hernandez is that pesky, up in your face defender every team needs who is flashing all over the court locking down defensively. His speed and control of game pace were exactly what the team needed to have plays develop and find looks within the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2436958"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66934c0daa564"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Though technically a c/o '28 player, [player_tooltip player_id='2436958' first='Camden' last='Cooper'] played up with the '27 [program_tooltip program_id='2076344' first='1Family' last=''] Pro squad. Clocking in at 6'5”, Cooper already has the frame to dominate while he continues growing and learning. He has a great motor and crashes the glass with force. Continuing to add muscle to his frame and work on footspeed, he should be able to potentially defend three to four positions by the time the next level comes knocking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125496"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66934c0daa5bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2125496' first='Josiah' last='Manrow'] brought a steady hand all weekend to his team. The 6'2” c/o '27 talent was playing more of the off guard and wing position but displayed enough ability to also handle when needed. He was able to find teammates in motion moving to the basket and also get his paint touch, draw defenders in and kick out for open looks. His developing playmaking skills are something to certainly keep an eye on as he plays more this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Brandon McCoy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076344' first='1Family' last=''] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66934c0daa679"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brandon McCoy is both flash and substance on the court. He can quickly beat his defender off the dribble and get into the paint for a quick teardrop or midrange or the kickout to an open teammate as the defense collapses on him. McCoy does a very good job controlling his body on drives and absorbing contact. He's a strong finisher and converts at a high level as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194948"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66934c0daa6d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Polynice is another scrappy guard who shares the backcourt with Hernandez to be a tandem of chaos. He clocks in at 5'9” but plays much taller. Polynice really enjoys mixing it up in the paint amongst the trees and making them pay. The way he uses angles and contorts his body to find some daylight on drives is extremely impressive. His shot mechanics are consistent and repeatable, and he has shown a very high IQ in shot selection. Keep an eye on him as his game continues to blossom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
