Tom’s NPS Friday/Saturday Overall Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These were my overall standouts from my two days at the National Prep Showcase (NPS) at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Connecticut. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1729831"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3102523,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6923ce704d02b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skyers is a big physical jumbo guard who adores collision. He is like a running back plowing over defenders to get to the bucket. He had double figure points in both of his games at NPS. He is a threat to score from behind the arc and if he is left open he will make you pay. Skyers plays with tenacity on the defensive end which allowed him to collect steals. He found ways to get others the ball for scoring opportunities. Skyers should be a priority for MM+ programs. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568339"],"_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-6923ce704d0ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whyte is a rugged guard who had a very efficient showing with his offensive floor game. He was a frequent customer at the foul line converting most of his chances from deep. He is an aggressive 2-way player who can propel his way to gather steals. I would like to see him clean up some of his turnovers. Whyte punishes the rims with his athleticism. If he gets out into transition look out for him to make a play. Whyte is a prospect who should see an uptick in his recruitment at the mid and mid plus level. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2538922"],"_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-6923ce704d12c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richardson is a very deceptive prospect who despite some athletic limitations is very productive with his offensive output. The first time I evaluated him in the spring he caught my attention with his ability to be a ballhawk and continuously make himself relevant in the game. Richardson is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. He attempted 13 free throws and connected on 10 of them in their game against St. [player_tooltip player_id='2457349' first='Thomas' last='Moore']. He came up with some rebounds. Richardson gets defenders to bite on his fake and his quick slowness. He is a prospect who should be a priority and the D2+ and LM level. His skills translate to the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2195047"],"_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-6923ce704d192"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Otey's all around game was seen all throughout the weekend at NPS. On Friday Otey showed that he can live in the paint with frequent touches on the interior converting a handful of grunge buckets. His perimeter shot-making was highlighted on Saturday conversing three shots from deep. He was a frequent flyer at the charity stripe and made a living there. One thing about his game that really caught my attention was his passing he connected often with his teammates with some quality finds which lead scoring chances. I feel like when he was an underclassman he was more of a score first guy, by him becoming a facilitator it only makes him more appealing to college programs. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1810739"],"_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-6923ce704d1f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hill's relentless game was showcased every second he was on the floor for Massanutten. He has great timing on the glass which allowed for him to convert on many 2nd chance scoring opportunities efforts. He can guard different positions on defense. Hill showed the ability to find teammates for scoring chances. I would say his underrated skill is his passing. He was very efficient with his shot selection. MM-/LM+ schools need to be knocking down his doors. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
