PrepHoops Expo GA: Team 4 Evaluations

Physical big-body post has an old school feel with a new school skill set. Extremely patient in the pivot with his back to the basket, utilizing up-and-unders and multiple moves before scoring. Finishes with both hands and has a trusty hook in his back pocket. Will attack from the wing, backing down his man with spins before scoring up close. Understands how to use his frame and size advantage as he is good at playing through contact. Likes to shoot the straightaway three. Nailed a handful of triples throughout camp. Highly effective in the pick-and-roll as both a roller and a popper. Reliable one-on-one post defender who walls up and blocks shots without fouling or needing to jump much.     A breakout player at camp, Ball was everywhere from the opening tip. The 6-foot-6 rangy wing is an impressive athlete. Active and aggressive, Ball used a quick second leap to attack rebounds. He was creative with the ball on the perimeter, using dribble combos to free himself for pull-up threes or slashes to the rim which he finished with slams. Defensively, Arthur moves his feet well, capable of defending on the wing and sticking with his man until challenging a shot at the basket. Love his upside over his final two seasons at Midtown.     High-release on his jump shot. Was successful when attacking off the dribble. Had a nice take along the baseline for a reverse layup. Proved he could turn corners on defenders using a low center of gravity.     I liked his decision making up top. Knew to quickly rotate the ball upon the catch to swing it to open shooters in the corners. Got into passing lanes on defense, forcing turnovers and sparking fastbreaks.     Athlete starting to put things together. Projects to be an above average defender who can guard multiple spots on the floor. Has natural gifts and a motor which help him impact games on both ends of the floor. An underrated aspect of his game is his passing. Amari delivers sharp bounce passes that slice through the defense and lead teammates to open layups.     The mid-range assassin displayed deeper range throughout camp, sinking a handful of threes. Has long arms and wide shoulders. Tough off the bounce, Bridges is able to get to his spots in a multitude of ways. Terrific two-way presence. Great on-ball defender who uses his reach to poke away steals. Reliable rebounder. Polished game.     Prime for a breakthrough season. Looked extremely good on the perimeter, the lengthy wing smooth with the ball. Fleming used between the legs dribble moves to set up defenders before netting pull-up threes or blowing by for slams. Holds switchability on defense able to defend inside and out. Played within himself and didn't get sucked into the lackadaisical play of camp.     Sizeable wing loves to play outside. Wants to stretch the floor with his three-point shot, setting up a home in the corners and deep wings. Has a chance to diversify his game. Flashed the ability to attack off the dribble and play in the paint. Lots of offensive skill to work with over his final two seasons.
