This lefty is a deadly accurate three-point shooter with a quick trigger and deep range. O'Brien is sneaky athletic, owns respectable speed and can finish at the rim. That trifecta of assets makes him a legitimate transition threat. He also plays bigger than his listed height, so O'Brien is a factor on the glass at both ends. College coaches will love his high IQ and continuous off-ball movement.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WC Henderson vs. Conestoga…Tipoff is at 2:00PM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2459808"],"_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-67125f6801dd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Back in September Ranalli posted a monster weekend at the Big 64 Showcase as he averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds per game. His stretch-4 skill set presents serious match-up issues for opponents. Ranalli can drain threes, operate in DHO action, and score off dribble drives. So bigs cannot defend him. His size, physicality and tenacious offensive rebounding overwhelm opposing guards. In close, Ranalli has displayed smooth footwork and the skills to convert with either hand. Ranalli will also surprise foes with his ability to push the rock for transition scores and assists.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Downingtown West vs. Susquehanna…Tipoff is at 3:00PM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2427329"],"_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-67125f6801e22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whether he is starting or coming off the bench, Hicklen is a talented guard who must be accounted for in opponent's scouting reports. Hicklen can splash threes or use his quick first step and tight handles to blow past his defender. Once he is into the teeth of the defense, Hicklen can score via lay-ins, execute a kick out ass or drop a dime to the dunker spot. His mid-range game must be respected too. The athletic Hicklen also excels in transition. With opponent's focused on stopping [player_tooltip player_id='1379429' first='Donovan' last='Fromhartz'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1601167' first='Zeke' last='Staz'], Hicklen should be open a great deal this season. We expect that he will capitalize on those opportunities and post a monster sophomore year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Susquehanna vs. Allen…Tipoff is at 5:00PM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1271426"],"_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-67125f6801e6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For those who do not get to watch many Mid-Penn Conference games, you are missing this dynamic backcourt prospect. Burnett is an extraordinary athlete (all-conference football prospect too) with speed and a gritty edge. On the hoops court he is a playmaker who can score at all three levels or facilitate for teammates. Burnett's ability to balance his scoring with operating as a pass first floor general is unique. He is a significant open court threat. Plus, his 3-point shot possesses logo range and a quick release. Despite his high usage rate, Burnett rarely commits a turnover.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
