He impressed as a versatile wing that could put the ball on the floor, make shots from multiple levels, and find the open man in the flow of the offense. He did a nice job of attacking closeouts, moved well without the basketball, and had a smooth stroke from behind the arc. On the other end, he competed on the glass, wasn't afraid to sit in a stance and work, and did a nice job of fighting through screens.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2571885"],"_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-688535a8bab65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hynes, a competitive guard out of <em>Roxbury Latin</em>, impressed with his ability to make plays for himself and others with the ball in his hands. The '28 guard announced his presence in the first half of the scrimmage with a few impressive drives that resulted in tough finishes around the rim. He showed the ability to get to his spots off the bounce, had plus athletic pop in the paint, and made contested twos in the mid-range. On the other end, he showed good lateral mobility and quick hands, both of which led to plenty of deflections and steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341427"],"_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-688535a8babd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Afolabi, a dynamic guard out of the <em>Dexter Southfield School</em>, stood out with his ability to make plays in transition using his athleticism and strength. A summer stock riser, he did a nice job of letting the game come to him, waiting to pick his spots as a scorer. Late in the scrimmage, he showed the athletic burst he's become known for, breaking down defenders in isolation situations and finishing at the rim and with a mid-range jumper on back to back possessions. His joy, competitiveness, and willingness to use his voice as a teammate also stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341414"],"_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-688535a8bac74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Echevarria, a scoring guard out of <em>St. Mark's School</em>, made noise as a playmaker that found a way to get easy baskets for himself and teammates. The big time scorer operated as a facilitator early on, showing a quick first step and some real lower body strength on his drives. He sprayed the ball all over the floor to shooters and eventually, picked his spots to get to the rim or create space for his jumper. Defensively, he showed a high compete level and a willingness to guard at the point of attack, both of which were noticable in this setting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568372"],"_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-688535a8bace2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mullins, a skilled hybrid forward out of the <em>Noble &amp; Greenough School</em>, impressed with his ability to space the floor as a shot maker. At 6'8", he screams stretch forward and didn't take long to prove he had deep range, a quick release, and the ability to make them in bunches. He did a nice job of running the floor in transition, was quick to pop out of screens, and showed no hesitation getting into his shot. He has the length and burst needed to finish in the paint and seemed to thrive in the game's most competitive situations. On the other end, he can guard up and down a spot and is a plus rebounder in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
