His ability to get to the bucket with strength and speed sets him apart. King can finish with finesse or finish strong. His shot has improved and has become more reliable. He has great vision on the court and often finds shooters in their spots. He plays defense with pride and locks in on that end. King is a great rebounder for his position and size and is constantly working hard. King will have a lot more responsibility this year and I expect him to break out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2507246"],"_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-69175d500854f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quincee is a super athletic wing that has lots of upside. His ability to finish above the rim is one of his best sill sets. He can hit the outside shot and is still improving on it. Quincee likes to get to the midrange and rise up for a nice looking jumper. His rebounding is at another level as he is strong and has great jumping ability. Quincee has a solid handle for his size that gives him an advantage against bigs. He already has the size and athletic ability to be a next level player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466706"],"_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-69175d5008594"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mehki is a very lengthy guard that does a little bit of everything. He is a really good passer and always has his head up looking for teammates. He is a great rebounder on both sides of the floor. His scoring can come from the three or the rim. His outside shot is smooth and confident. Mehki finishes with finesse around the rim and uses his length and athleticism to get by defenders. Every time I seen him play this off-season he had at least +5pts, +5reb and +5ast. This young guard has the ability to really take off this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2552737"],"_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-69175d50085d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaden is a legit scorer that can pour in buckets from anywhere. He plays at his own pace and can score from all 3 levels. He has a good handle for his size and is not afraid to take the ball up the court. Jaden can hit the three at a solid clip. His midrange game is good and he likes hitting fade-aways or pull ups from that area. Jaden's strongest ability is scoring at the bucket with his crafty post moves and soft touch. He will also try to dunk on defenders with is sneaky athleticism. Jaden can have a real eye opening year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2849553"],"_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-69175d5008618"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mikel is a super athletic guard/wing that likes to play at a fast pace. He is at his best in the open floor and getting downhill. He has great speed and a strong frame that allows him to get to the bucket at will. His outside shot has improved over the summer, and the better his outside shot gets, the more dangerous he will become. He plays good 1 on 1 defense and likes to sneak into passing lanes for big time steals that leads to dunks. Mikel fits right in to the fast pace Maryvale Panthers and will have a big impact on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2552769"],"_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-69175d5008657"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Izaiah is a super quick and fast guard. He has a quick first step and has some real shiftiness to his handle. He likes to play at a fast pace and thrives in the open court. Izaiah can hit the three at a high clip and even can step back a few more feet. He has a great ability to drive and kick to shooters or even score from the paint. He is a solid defender that has good hands. Izaiah is a real high IQ player and super effective on the court despite being undersized. He will have more responsibility this year and I expect him to take a big step.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3010992"],"_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-691793b855878"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kristian is a lengthy shooter with tons of upside. A transfer from West Point that grew over the summer and honed his skills. He is a legit threat from three and beyond. He has a good handle for his size and will bring the ball up and take on the lead ball handler rolls if needed. His length gives him great advantages on the defensive end that leads to steals and blocks. Kristian is a high IQ player that plays the game the right way. He is an extremely hard worker that puts his time in the gym. Kristian can be something special so keep an eye on this young man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
