The 6'3 wing finished strong with a couple of dunks above the rim and ran the floor well in transition. Smith also used his handle to get to his space on the floor and rose up nicely on his jumper. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and showed the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Smith's versatility in the half court is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568379"],"_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-68eee033ba8f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson wowed at the Expo as he showed his ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor. The 6'0 guard exploded off the floor for dunks and showed the ability to finish nicely around the rim. Robinson pushed the pace well in transition and rarely forced shots in the half court. He worked hard on the defensive end and showed the ability to play off the ball. Robinson is a gritty guard prospect who should continue to make plays with the ball in his hands this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Christopher Albano","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Susan E.

The 6'1 used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and threaded passes to his teammates in the half court. Albano showed a nice touch in the mid-range and rarely forced shots in the half court. He showed the ability to defend both backcourt spots and pushed the pace well in transition. Albano is a talented guard prospect whose ability to run the offense effectively will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2967671"],"_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-68eee033ba9fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chung showed the ability to play both on and off the ball during the Expo. The 5'9 guard used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and showed a nice touch in the mid-range. Chung found his open teammates in the half court and set his feet before he shot. He got deflections on the defensive end and moved well without the ball in his hands. Chung should get more touches within the offense, which should help his development throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2989251"],"_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-68eee033baa48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly made plays during both the 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 sessions with the ball in his hands. The 5'9 guard used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and rarely got rattled by on-ball pressure. Kelly finished well around the rim and set his feet before he shot. He worked hard on the defensive end and used his floor vision to find his open teammates in the half court. Kelly is a gritty guard prospect who should get to play both on and off the ball during the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2981357"],"_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-68eee033baa94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jenkins might have been one of the shorter prospects at the Expo, but that didn't stop him from making plays on the ball. The 5'4 guard used his handle to get into the lane and was able to find his open teammates in the half court. Jenkins also showed the ability to score in the mid-range and has a nice release on his jumper. He was unafraid of diving on the floor for loose balls and played off the ball as well. Jenkins will get the opportunity to make plays at both ends of the floor, which should help his stock over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2130637"],"_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-68eee033baade"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kastrat shined during the 3-on-3 sessions as he showed his ability to play on and off the ball. The 5'9 guard showed his nice handle, which he used to beat his defender off the bounce and finished well around the rim. Kastrat did more than just slash as he also showed the ability to stretch the floor and shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc. He slid his feet on the defensive end and also played off the ball as well. Kastrat has the ability to have a breakout campaign with his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
