<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2607622' first='Donovan' last='Peterson']'s size as a guard stands out immediately. Donovan can score the ball from all over the court and is a tremendous defender. That size makes him versatile, and it's something that, at the very least, he will be able to hang his hat on. Donovan has a nice mid-range jump shot and is a smooth ball handler. Donovan has a good motor and does a great job doing the dirty work on the glass.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2612701' first='Tristan' last='Jerry'] is a quick and talented scorer for Gwynn Park. Tristan had a fantastic summer league at DeMatha, and it helped raise his stock. Tristan is difficult to stay in front of, and he is an outstanding shooter. You can play Tristan on the ball and off it, and I expect Tristan to be one of the more prolific scorers in Maryland this season for what should be an outstanding Gwynn Park squad.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2548521' first='David' last='Pridgen'] does a lot of things well. David is an active defender and gets his hands on shots and passes. He hounds opposing guards and turns defense into offense. David is a good athlete and can knock down the outside shot. David is more of a lead guard, but I've seen him play off the ball and do it well. David attacks the rim well and has good vision. There isn't a hole in David's game, and he is solid everywhere. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2148714' first='Kevin' last='Simmons'] is a big, strong guard who excels at attacking the rim. His frame and athleticism make him a difficult cover when he gets downhill. You can't put most smaller guards on Kevin because he will bully them and score in the paint at will. Kevin has the speed to get around a lot of bigger wings, so it makes him a difficult cover. Kevin is a good shooter, and if you try and force him to hit jump shots to keep him from driving he can make you pay. Kevin is a real matchup nightmare on Gaithersburg.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2612058' first='Javeon' last='Reed'] is a crafty and talented 3-level scorer for Arundel. Javeon plays at his own pace and is very unpredictable. He handles the ball differently than most guys and reads the game and his defender extremely well. Javeon has a terrific pull game game and is a tough matchup for anyone. I don't care how good of a defender you are, guarding a guy like Javeon is a difficult matchup.</p>
