<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team 2 at the showcase was fueled by a strong group of playmakers who each brought unique skills to the floor. Jaxson set the tone with his athleticism and ability to control the game, while Watkins consistently created opportunities for others with his sharp playmaking instincts. Christian's relentless competitiveness and floater game gave the team a reliable scorer in tough moments, and Nathan anchored the defense with his energy and ability to disrupt opponents. Jayden rounded out the group with his dangerous shooting from deep and aggressive drives to the rim, giving Team 2 a versatile offensive weapon.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2683651"],"_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-68cf6e5fba1fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaxson is quickly emerging as a name to know, standing out as one of the most skilled and athletic guards at the showcase. His ability to create plays off the dribble, finish at the rim, and impact the game on both ends of the floor immediately caught attention. With his combination of quickness, confidence, and polished skill set, Jaxson proved he can both control the tempo and make highlight plays when his team needs it most. His performance not only showcased his athleticism but also his potential to be a difference-maker at the next level.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2898488"],"_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-68cf6e5fba260"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watkins made a strong impression as a guard with a natural feel for playmaking. He consistently kept his teammates involved, showing great vision and decision-making with the ball in his hands. Whether it was pushing the pace in transition or setting up teammates in the half-court, Watkins displayed the ability to read defenses and make the right pass. His unselfish style of play, combined with poise and control, makes him a reliable floor general who elevates those around him.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2949450"],"_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-68cf6e5fba2ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Courtney showed why he's such a tough matchup, especially with his smooth and reliable floater game that he used to score over bigger defenders. Beyond his offensive skill, what really sets him apart is his mentality—he's the ultimate competitor. Courtney plays with relentless energy and refuses to back down, bringing intensity on every possession. His combination of skill, toughness, and competitive fire makes him a player who consistently impacts the game and pushes his team forward.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2873571"],"_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-68cf6e5fba2ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nathan made his presence felt on the defensive end, showing the ability to lock in and make life difficult for opposing guards. His quick feet, active hands, and strong instincts allowed him to stay in front of his man and disrupt plays before they developed. Nathan takes pride in guarding the ball and brings an energy that sets the tone for his team defensively. His effort and versatility on that end make him a valuable piece who can impact the game without needing the ball in his hands.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2928233"],"_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-68cf6e5fba330"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden proved to be a dynamic offensive threat, with the ability to catch fire from behind the arc and change the momentum of a game in an instant. His smooth shooting stroke makes him dangerous from deep, but he's not limited to the perimeter—he also attacks the rim with confidence and control. That combination of outside shooting and driving ability keeps defenses guessing and opens up opportunities for both himself and his teammates. Jayden's versatile scoring skill set makes him a tough guard and a constant weapon on the floor.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
