He is listed at 5'10 but has a good build so he is stronger than most think. This gives him a good ability to absorb and dictate contact. He can get to wherever he wants on the court and distributes with the best. He is a point guard you can build your team around. He knows his role and plays it very well. He plays his tail off on the defensive end and never makes mistakes on the offensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1943724"],"_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-66e3786b2e78b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For those that have seen Koester play live you walk away from the game knowing he is a dog. He is a three-level scorer and gets hot quickly. He scores in volumes and can truly change the game's outcome with his scoring ability. He has a good size and uses it to get to the rack well. He has sneaky good finishes that show off his good touch around the rim. He has a nice one or two dribble pull-up game in the mid-range. He can light you up from deep as well. He is a good athlete that can hold his own against anyone. He competes the entire game and is someone you want on your team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128752"],"_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-66e3786b2e7f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lewis is one of the most interesting prospects at this event and in the entire NWO area. He is listed at 6'11 and hit a growth spurt from his freshman year to now. Even with the inches added to his height, he seems to be moving better and more fluid. He understands the game better and isn't just a raw tall kid anymore. He can knock down a jumper in the midrange and even hit a three when left open. His moves in the post have improved as well due to his touch and scoring threat. Expect a big year from Lewis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1943267"],"_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-66e3786b2e85e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McNulty is a hooper. He can simply hoop. He can do anything you need from him and is a competitor. He plays hard every time I watch him play. He has a really good knack for scoring the ball. He has supreme confidence in his game and can score with the best of them. He is a sneaky athlete. He has a good basketball IQ and a feel for the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1950596"],"_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-66e3786b2e8c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sommers is a kid you want to coach. He has all the right qualities above the shoulders. He is smart, plays hard, and has great fundamentals and understanding of the game. He is a 6'5 wing who can spread the floor and knock down shots for your team. He has shown a good ability to put the ball on the floor when defenses close out too aggressively on him. He does a good job of getting to the free-throw line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2347404"],"_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-66e3786b2e92b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elwers is a nice sophomore guard prospect who plays years above his age. He has a good maturity and toughness to him. He has a smaller build but that does not stop him from competing. He does a good job of scoring by finding the open spot on the floor and spotting up. He is a knockdown shooter. Can't wait to see him play against some guards at this event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1708689"],"_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-66e3786b2e98d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carruthers is everything you want out of a modern-day forward. He has the height, length, and athletic ability, and seems to have gained the weight and strength to bang in the post at the next level. You would love to see him continue to gain strength but this kid makes up for it with his raw athleticism. He can outjump most other bigs and has some quick twitch to him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1672053"],"_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-66e3786b2e9f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is a 6'4 guard senior who is from a great high school program in Sandusky. He has competed against some of the best in AAU as well as playing for OBC. You can tell by the way this kid plays he is not afraid of anyone and has a confidence in him. He is a high-volume scorer. He uses his length very well when attacking the rim and finishing. He has some great moves in the lane and knows how to navigate well in tight areas of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2563224,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Orange-Team.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Orange-Team.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2563224" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
