But he's not content with just being a shooter who floats around the perimeter. He mixes it up as a defender by being smart in the passing lanes. And perhaps most importantly, he's already a talker on the court. There's tons of kids all over the region who can shot the rock like Rutherford. But cool and quiet will get you beat, especially in college. While Rutherford plays cool, he's anything but quiet on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2928343"],"_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-68d20c5ee4c96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heads up player from Eastern Oklahoma. Good court awareness on both ends of the floor. Made hustle plays, including smartly saving the ball off the opposition to earn a possession for his team. Can play defense with his feet to cut off drives or successfully gamble to be a pick pocket. Skilled offensive player, with smooth drives and nice dimes to teammates. See the potential for him to become a floor general. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2053484"],"_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-68d20c5ee4b99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hard working wing prospect. Enjoyed his approach to basketball aka NEVER STOP MOVING. From hustling around on defense to be a constant off the ball mover on offense. Made the right passes, them would immediately cut to the rim. Gets good position inside, boxed out well and understood help defense principles. Making the move from small town basketball to 6A with Enid. Looks like he will maximize every bit of talent he has.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2831892"],"_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-68d20c5ee4c51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A youngster who first caught the eye during 3 on 3 play as one of the top talkers in the gem Which even extended to when he was checked out, still engaged, calling out defensive assignments and encouraging his teammates. Settled into more of an off the ball scoring role during 5 on 5 and still brought good energy. Hitting the occasional three and even displaying a solid "hesi" move on one drive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140753"],"_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-68d20c5ee4d1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mr Energy! Has improved as a shooter while maintaining his energy and fighter mentality as a scrappy guard. Takes obvious pride on the defensive end with a pitbull like mentality. Is a clapper and an energy giver with his approach to locking up the opposition and encouraging teammates on offense. The improvement of his perimeter shooting is the biggest take away, as he looks to ramp up his box score production for the Lions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2410898"],"_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-68d20c5ee4d9e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A coach's son with a rep as a shooter. He also caught the eye for doing the little things. Played the role of a connector with simple but important passes in transition and the halfcourt. Showed grit when boxing out bigger opponents. And having quick and smart hands to poke out any loose movements by taller players around the rim. Shooting and a competitive mentality will serve Hadley well as a potential small town star.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2823642"],"_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-68d20c5ee4ddf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Played strong for his age around the rim. Battling for boards and securing them amongst crowds. Then maintaining an aggressive and unselfish mentality by pushing the tempo and looking for teammates. Even has wing skills as a driver, with ball fakes and heads up passing. Part of an intriguing sophomore class for the Pioneers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
