<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Big Shots Virginia Beach Jam kicked off today, and the talent was on full Display. From the 757 to the 804 and much more, here were the 16s that caught my eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2632516"],"_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-6a1c59e675377"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Creed Waskey is a guard playing for West Virginia Reign Elite. Waskey had his fingers everywhere today, with his impact being loud. He's a great interior passer with a multitude of different deliveries. He can shoot the three at a high level, both off the catch and off the dribble. In addition to this shooting ability, he relocates often off the ball, creating open passing lanes for his teammates and is not relegated to the corner. He has a bag of tricks for finishing amongst the trees in the paint, but he has some crazy bounce as well. In a showdown against the Magic, he had two blocks as well, showing off his anticipation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2869454"],"_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-6a1c5ef0c3146"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mason Parrish is a 6 foot 2 swiss army knife. His shooting ability forces hard closeouts. Off these closeouts, he uses his frame to protect the ball, driving to the rim. From there, he has a good pivot to create angles to lay it up or find open teammates in a jam. In addition to this, he boxes out at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2425399"],"_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-6a1c5ef0c3190"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roe Maston is a forward playing for West [program_tooltip program_id='2078817' first='Virginia' last='Elite']. As the tallest player on the team, his versatility unlocks everything for his ball club. He can defend on the perimeter as well as protect the rim. He has great touch around the rim and is very conscious about cutting into open space for floaters/layups. He can also shoot the three ball with a beautiful form reminiscent of Kyle Korver</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2548179"],"_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-6a1c5ef0c31c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2548179' first='Ethan' last='Moore'] is a shifty guard playing for the Richmond Magic. He's a great secondary scorer who uses his handle to create space off the dribble. He consistently blows by his first defender and can shoot the mid-range pull-up as well as finish amongst the trees. On defense what stuck out to me was his hands. He's very active in the passing lanes and is like a streak of lightning on the fast break.</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":"Justice Powell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Richmond Magic","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c5ef0c3241"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Justice Powell is a 6 foot 5 forward playing for the Richmond Magic. Powell had a great showing tonight, imposing his will on the floor. He's a big ball handler and shot creator. He has the flexibility to get low and change levels putting defenses at his mercy. He can shoot the three from the slot and the corner off the catch. He plays with multiple paces and his stride length makes him hard to keep out the paint. He's a quick decision maker who makes plays for his teammates always surveying the court. And defensively he showcased strong weak side rim protection.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
