Elite 80 Expo Profile: Evan Hubbard

Name: Evan Hubbard

Position: Forward

HT: 6’0

Hometown: Neptune, NJ

AAU Team: KBR Fliers

Strengths: Hubbard has trimmed down a bit and this has improved his mobility and athleticism. I primary post player Evan can step out and hit the trey if left unguarded. He has good touch around the basket and uses his frame well to box out for boards. If he inherits his family genes expect a huge growth soon.

Areas of Improvement: Hubbard will need to improve his mobility and athleticism once he reaches high school. The pace of the game will be faster and he will have to adapt. Developing his ball handling and perimeter defense should also be in future plans. Intense rope jumping should be a good tool for Hubbard.
