Under-The-Radar Live Period Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a busy couple of weekends, the Live Period left us with a lot to remember! This series of articles will help identify some of the best performers from the DMV's Live Period that may have swooped under the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782669"],"_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-6863a76f6d113"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden was once again a very consistent scorer for Saint James. He proved to be one of DMV Live's top performers by the end of the event. Jayden eclipsed 2000 points for his varsity career with Saint James, and his scoring production only improves with each performance. Gets any shot he chooses, and can rise up over the top of closeouts at a high level. His success in the midrange sets him apart from his fellow guard in the class. He can operate from outside and inside the perimeter for his shots. Rarely took a poor shot and picked his spots to score well over the course of his games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2252278"],"_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-6863a4292b3a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ghavyne was a treat to watch at DMV Live. Scored 29 in his lone game at Session I, then averaged close to 17 points a game during Session II. He shot the ball from well beyond the arc and always gained the attention of the defense. Made 2+ threes each game in his Live Period sessions. Along with his excellent touch, Ghavyne scored baskets with tremendous efficiency, only having one game shooting under 50% from the field. A true dominating performance from the senior guard. He will be a factor this year for Boys Latin under a new role as a main option</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782587"],"_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-6860d0d45d658"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elijah showed why scouts are so high on his game. He looked great in the big win over O'Connell. Spalding followed strong behind Elijah electric play. He got out to it defensively and sparked a lot of baskets and opportunities for his team all game. Elijah scored in transition often and had no problem getting his shot off in the halfcourt. Shot 4/6 from the field with 3 steals in the blowout victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2301294"],"_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","fullHeight":false,"anchor":"acf-block-6860c4de7391e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most underrated point guards in the DM(V). Akim's performance at DMV Live upped his status and recruitment altogether. He was instrumental in attacking the basket off the dribble. Drew a lot of fouls at the rim and spent plenty of time knocking down free shots. Slashed to the rim with a vengeance, beating his matchup and dashing inside time and time again. Akim ended DMV Live S1 with an averaged of 21.3 ppg, 5 rebounds and 4 assists through 3 games. Scored 12.5 through 4 games at Session II, and hauled in a major D-1 offer following the event. Akim played the screen game well, assisting the pop-man for 3 consistently. 2-way star guard for Potomac School. The dual-sport athlete's recruitment should continue to take off as the summer wanes on.</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":2893019,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Donnell Jarrett","_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":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Woodside","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-6863a76f6d2f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Donnell had an extremely productive DC Live session with Woodside. Went toe-to-toe with 4-star recruit Ant Brown and Carroll. Donnell put together a big game, earning well-earned attention from a few of our scouts. Drained a handful of threes alone in his performance vs Carroll. Played a tough brand of defense and guarded Ant full-court most of the game. Donnell had some moments in the game going basket for basket with the opposition. Breakout performance from the Virginia guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353588"],"_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-6863a76f6d178"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnsen had some big moments each game for his team. Scored in each contest for Riverdale and made some highlight plays on both ends. Racked up a few steals and finished a couple layups through traffic. Johnsen had a smooth reverse layup through two defenders during Session II vs Potomac that helped shift momentum. Johnsen had a few games with some notable feeds that turned to assists. The plays Kennedy got involved in off the bench helped boost Riverdale's energy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2548181"],"_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-6860c4de73a9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaiah looked good in his outing with Highland. The recent transfer scored 10.5 points per game over the entirety of the live period. Isaiah displayed his pure shooting ability most games, drilling at least 1 three pointer in all but two games. He had a couple high-scoring nights ion double figures, looking good with the ball in his hands. Isaiah looks more confident in his ability as he found consistent minutes during this Live Period. Got great height on his shots and looked confident in his jumper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
