<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the wing prospects who impressed over the weekend in Appleton at the Prep Hoops Midwest Showdown!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2390673"],"_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-69d543807202d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Damann was a two-way standout this past weekend for Bradley Elite. Listed at 6'3 he combines a long wingspan with explosive athleticism that allows him to defend just about every spot on the floor. He did a nice job of getting up in the passing lanes and using his length to pick up steals and deflections throughout the game. Young was dangerous in transition as he can cover a lot of ground quickly with the ball, and uses his athleticism to glide to the rim for finishes. Plays with an endless amount of energy and seemed to get better while other players were tiring out towards the end of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2612097"],"_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-69d5438072088"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marcus displayed a nice inside-out game for DFTP Elite against MPLS Hustlers. He can take on a variety of roles for his team with his versatility at 6'3. Marcus was doing the bulk of his scoring at the rim where he could either post up smaller wings or attack off the dribble. When the other team was pressing, Marcus provided an extra ball handling option and did a nice job of calmly breaking the press. On the defensive end he spent time defending almost every spot on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2479908"],"_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-69d54380720d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3571996' first='David' last='Washington'] has an intriguing blend of length and athleticism out on the wing for [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848']. He's still pretty raw on the offensive end, but found ways to make an impact as a defender and rebounding presence. He gets off the floor quickly to pull in boards, and from there can push the break on his own. He's dangerous using his length to get up in passing lanes on the wing where he can pick up deflections in bulk. Provided a transition scoring threat with his ability to sprint the floor and elevate to finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2560467"],"_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-69d5438072114"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hanad provided a much needed scoring spark in the half-court for [program_tooltip program_id='2075425' first='CRCTB' last=''] 16u. In a 9am game he was playing with a lot of energy, and was getting his team fired up after every bucket. Hanad has a smooth jumper that helped open things up for his team in the half-court, but he also knows how to use his long frame to extend and finish at the rim. Most of the scoring in this game came in transition, but Hanad's half-court scoring proved to be the difference for his team in the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2869673"],"_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-69d5438072157"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jack is an explosive slasher for this Milwaukee Trailblazers team. He was a major transition threat, and has the bounce to get up and finish above the rim when he has a clear path to the basket. Against Rise Above he got out in transition for a two handed dunk, as well as a couple other finishes throughout the game. Good instincts to jump passing lanes for steals, and he provides an extra rebounding presence with his ability to high point the ball off the rim. He helped his team put together a 4-0 record.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2423354"],"_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-69d5438072199"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amos had a strong showing with [program_tooltip program_id='2075258' first='ABC' last='Young Lions'], and came up clutch in the win over The Dogs Basketball Co. He's a strong and powerful wing who can attack from the wing and play his way through contact to finish at the rim. He just plays with a grit that lets you know he's determined to come up with every missed shot or loose ball in his area. In a game that ended up going to triple overtime, it was Amos that came up with the game winning and-one lay-up to give his team the W.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2925833"],"_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-69d54380721dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caleb is a shooter with size for this [program_tooltip program_id='2078859' first='Starks' last='Elite'] 17u team. He's an active player off the ball, either cutting or running off screens looking for pockets of space to catch and shoot. Springy player who gets into his shot quickly off the catch, or can shake his defender with a shot-fake into a one dribble pull-up from the elbow. He provided the offensive spark his team needed in a tight win over [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848'] on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
