In the half-court, he did a nice job attacking closeouts and putting pressure on the defense off the bounce. He displayed soft touch around the basket and consistently finished plays in the paint. His positional versatility allowed him to impact the game in a variety of ways, and he showed a good understanding of how to capitalize on mismatches when opportunities presented themselves. Young's combination of size, skill, and versatility makes him a prospect that should garner attention from small college programs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2428190"],"_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-6a39f0a4e7a40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mackey is a physical forward who embraces contact and uses his strength to power his way to the basket. He displayed good timing around the rim and consistently capitalized on second-chance scoring opportunities. When attacking off the dribble, he frequently looked to drive baseline, putting pressure on defenders and creating quality scoring chances. Mackey also showed a willingness to do the dirty work, setting solid screens for his guards and proving to be an effective roller in pick-and-roll action. Around the basket, he demonstrated soft touch and the ability to finish through traffic, making him a reliable interior scoring option.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3677293"],"_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-6a39f0a4e7ade"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is a crafty guard who does an excellent job of breaking down defenses in the half-court. He changes speeds effectively when attacking, keeping defenders off balance and creating opportunities for himself. He showed the ability to get to his spots in the mid-range and was comfortable scoring from a variety of areas on the floor. Johnson is a dynamic scorer who can heat up quickly and put points on the board in a hurry, making him a constant offensive threat whenever he has the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3677302"],"_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-6a39f0a4e7b82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carthen is a high-flying athlete who thrives above the rim and finishes with authority whenever he gets an opportunity in space. His rangy frame allows him to cover ground effortlessly on both ends of the floor, making him a disruptive presence defensively. He does an excellent job of jumping passing lanes and converting turnovers into transition scoring opportunities. Around the basket, Carthen shows the ability to absorb contact and still finish plays. His impact extends well beyond scoring, as he consistently fills the stat sheet and finds ways to contribute in all facets of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3527136"],"_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-6a39f0a4e7c12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breindel is a reliable perimeter threat who excels playing off the ball and spacing the floor. He consistently makes defenses pay when left open, knocking down shots from beyond the arc with confidence. In addition to his scoring ability, he shows a strong feel for the game and does a great job finding teammates in positions to score. Breindel also impacts the game on the glass, staying active in rebounding situations and using his strength to establish solid positioning inside. His combination of shooting, playmaking, and toughness makes him a valuable contributor on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
