The 5'10 guard used his combination of quickness and tight handle to blow by his defender and finished nicely around the rim. Lewis moved well during the 3-on-3 games as he moved within the flow of the offense and fought his open teammates in the half court. He struggled with his shooting during 3-on-3, but shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc during the 5-on-5 games. Lewis' consistency behind the arc 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":["2786684"],"_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-68efa2b43f253"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Phillips was one of the true bigs at the Expo and he made his impact felt throughout the day. The 6'7 forward used his strong frame to get position in the paint and has a nice touch around the rim. Phillips also put the ball on the floor and showed that his range extended out to the three-point line. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and used his length to bother shots around the rim. Phillips grew his game during the Expo and should continue to grow during the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2989177"],"_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-68efa2b43f2d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Phillips was one of the few posts at the Expo and had a strong showing. The 6'7 post worked hard to get position down low and was able to draw contact in the paint. Phillips set strong screens in the half court and knocked down a couple of jumpers from behind the arc. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and influenced shots around the rim. Phillips' ability to stretch the floor makes him an intriguing potential pick and pop option this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2917007"],"_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-68efa2b43f355"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller showed the ability to play on and off the ball during the Expo, which helped his stock. The 5'10 guard played with composure on the ball as he got to his spot on the floor and rarely made bad decisions with the ball in his hands. Miller also showed a touch in the mid-range and wasted little motion in his release. He slid his feet on the defensive end and moved well without the ball in his hands. Miller will get the opportunity to play both on and off the ball this season, which will help his development this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2973566"],"_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-68efa2b43f3cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jorgenson was one of the top shooters at the Expo as he torched the nets from distance. The 5'10 guard has a quick release on his jumper and buried triples in bunches during the 5-on-5 games. Jorgenson moved well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He worked hard on the defensive end and rarely forced jumpers in the half court. Jorgenson's ability to stretch the floor 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":["2801962"],"_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-68efa2b43f44b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Truscott had a solid showing at the Expo as he played with a fire throughout the day. The 6'1 guard set his feet before he shot and was able to knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. Truscott used his handle to get to his spot during the 3-on-3 sessions and moved well without the ball in his hands. He worked hard on the defensive end and was able to find his open teammates in the half court. Truscott is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2931627"],"_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-68efa2b43f4c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Middleton might have been one of the few 2029 prospects in attendance, but that didn't stop him from making an impact. The 5'9 guard used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and played with composure on the ball. Middleton set his feet before he shot and also made shots in the mid-range. He got deflections on the defensive end and freed himself for open shots without the ball in his hands. Middleton's ability to run the offense effectively 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":["2986176"],"_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-68efa2b43f542"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams played with a purpose during the Expo as he was unafraid of the moment. The 5'10 guard dove on the floor for loose balls, helping his team get more opportunities on offense. Williams set his feet before he shot and shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc. He used his length to get deflections on defense and moved well without the ball in his hands. Williams has to continue playing with confidence during the course of the season to help his game grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
