The athleticism and play-finishing ability above the rim grabs your attention at first but he really showed that he can fill it up from the perimeter as well. He's a confident ball-handler and doesn't settle for jump shots, using his slashing ability to open up high-percentage opportunities for his team in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1963388"],"_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-68662b011ee4c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: 89</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Barrett was one of our biggest stockrisers during the summer as a wing that looks completely different in a new system with the Lions. Barrett is hitting perimeter jumpers, mixing in some pull-up jumpers from the midrange, finishing well at the rim, and has really improved his body to be a more active defender. As a W/F tweener that can pose matchup issues for opposing defenses, he can also guard multiple positions at the defensive end of the floor and is blocking more shots thanks to his improved explosiveness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2612994"],"_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-68662b011eea9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: 167</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Monaro has just been a workhorse this summer as a wing that has often started for the Hoyas as a big due to his play-finishing ability and grit. Monaro understands the effort required to hold down a starting position in the frontcourt and has made the most of his opportunity by simply outworking his matchup at both ends of the floor. He plays within himself at the offensive end of the floor and unselfishly handles whatever task (screening, playing help defense, taking charges, etc) is given to him by the coaching staff. Want to see what the skill level is like as a pick n pop shooter and ballhandler as he usually is cutting to the rim instead of generating his own offense by driving the basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2673380"],"_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-68662b011eef3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: 162</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-There's a lot to like here as a rising senior guard that can really fill it up from the perimeter. Hassan has good size and length at his position, can really shoot the pill, and has enough wiggle as a ballhandler to free himself up well for shots. Want to see him embrace contact more often on drives to the basket and mix it up amongst the trees for rebounds to boost his value as a wing G/W tweener at the next level. Could certainly see him fight his way into our top 100 by the time his senior year has finished with consistent standout play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453731"],"_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-68662b011ef33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previous Rank: 133</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Really liked the grit and defensive versatility of Lee over the summer as he has really proven that he could be the BCL player most likely to break out this season with the Patriots. Parris is a capable slasher that has added better footwork in the paint to give him better finishing angles around the rim. Love how quickly he switches ends of the floor, wasting no time after grabbing a defensive rebound or collecting a steal to race it the other way in transition. Lee's athleticism and size allow him to guard 1-3 pretty comfortably, and he can usually provided some stellar post defense on 4s and 5s if switches force the action. The motor really stands out as an asset for the rising senior, excited to see how he develops over his last HS season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
