Pride of the East Side Showcase: Notebook

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Closing out coverage of this past weekend's showcase at Douglass, with Arkansas prospects who shined and a mixture of "next up" players in Oklahoma. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2252491"],"_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-67453a88f3b96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was an off scoring night for the highly touted sophomore prospect, but still had a 9 point third quarter. Which was a glimpse of his agile and high flying movement. During that quarter he also had a couple of eye popping blocks that he pinned off the glass. Athleticism and upside jump off the charts and better scoring nights will come for the new to Oklahoma standout. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021816"],"_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-67453a88f3bf0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ran the show for Little Rock Central, setting up teammates and pouring in 23 points. Had great chemistry with his teammates as a passer. Playing against a fast and aggressive team, was always controlled and unbothered. Leaned on his strong frame and ball fakes in that regard to get the opposition out of sorts Winning DNA was obvious in his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021916"],"_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-67453a88f3c35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sharpshooter, who's already built like a tank for his age. He lit up the gym to the tune of 21 points with six threes. Currently more of a two or a combo than a true point, but part of the outstanding backcourt chemistry that powered Little Rock Central to a Saturday afternoon win. His scoring swagger as a smaller guard allows him to excel in a game that is often dominated by giants. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2335345"],"_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-67453a88f3cb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The bouncy forward prospect showed in spurts why the ceiling is so high for him. Which is partially because his head can nearly reach the rim. Had a sequence on Saturday where he skied to block a shot. Then seconds later was down the court attempting to shut the gym down with a poster slam. His huge wingspan only adds to his ability to play above the rim. The highlights will be there this season with his new program. When the production starts to tick up and be consistent, expect the offers to follow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2300101"],"_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-67453a88f3cf9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The sophomore scored 19 points as the second part of Har-Ber's one-two punch. Did a lot of his damage as an off the ball shooter. Has smooth from on his jumper, complete with long arms that allow him to comfortably shoot over close outs from defenders. Also got loose for an alley-oop that he finished with authority in transition. Very good all around prospect with the clear upside to continue to improve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1293604"],"_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-67453a88f3d39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">New to Millwood, Goins looked like he had been there for multiple seasons. Hit big three pointers, pulling up in transition and also spotting up to provide floor spacing for his athletic and quick teammates. Perhaps more importantly than the shooting was how he got after it on defense. Accepted the challenge and often picked up 94 feet against Har-Ber highly touted opposing guards. Perfect addition to the Falcons as a prospect who knows his role, and will star in that role as Millwood aims to add another Gold Ball to their prestigious trophy case. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
