He can score at all three levels, is an above average athlete and has made noticeable strides with his ball handling and ability to create off the dribble. Douby has a good feel for the game, reads defenders well and understands how to use screens to create scoring opportunities. His combination of size, skill and scoring versatility makes him a difficult matchup on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2294524"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abdc5d76f936"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The senior makes the move to Riviera Prep after helping St. Thomas Aquinas capture back to back state championships. A sharp shooting wing with good size, he also played a role for a Peach Jam championship team during the grassroots season. He is a three level scorer with good quickness, a strong feel for the game and an aggressive scorer's mentality. He moves well without the ball, can create his own offense and is capable of serving as a secondary ball handler when needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2294548"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abdc5d76f986"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A recent FIU commit, Roche impressed throughout the offseason with Team Miami. He is a skilled perimeter prospect who can pass, dribble and shoot, with range that makes him a consistent threat from beyond the arc. Roche has a good feel for the game, brings better than average quickness and athleticism and continues to make strides with his ability to create off the dribble. He plays with a high basketball IQ and consistently finds ways to make winning plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2397038"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abdc5d76f9d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A native of Nicaragua, West is a strong, physical guard who plays with a high basketball IQ and consistently brings a good effort level. He uses his strength effectively when attacking the basket and is a physical finisher around the rim. West can also create opportunities for teammates as a playmaker and is a productive rebounder from the backcourt. His toughness and versatility allow him to impact the game in multiple ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3557151"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abdc5d76fa1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner is an athletic wing who brings a nice combination of physical tools and perimeter skill. He is a capable shot maker who can stretch the floor and is comfortable putting the ball on the floor for a bounce or two to attack a closeout. Turner plays with a high motor and consistently brings energy and activity on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
