The best part? @JrAllStarBB uses AI to write most all of their evaluations, other than the good work of @ericjrallstar and a few others. They load them up under "Staff Contributor" and formerly used the moniker @PriceJameson1 to upload their articles. Has anyone seen Jameson Price in the gym before? No - because it's a brother of a former @MinnesotaFury player who mass creates evals and has them completed sometimes even before the events. A few years back when I used to do my evaluation threads at events, they took 20 of my tweets (in order) and posted them into a story changing the words to make it look like their own. The only issue was that they kept them in the same order I wrote them in. Thus, was the end of my tweet threads. It's really easy to make money by mass producing AI evaluations for 90% of the content. But, it certainly puts a stain on those like myself, and many others who cover players really well by spending upwards of 15k+ a year to travel to events, attending 100+ HS games a year, and actually being able to recall a player who you've written about or watched the next day if asked. Here is the evaluation in question and then run through an AI detector 🙂

The Atlantic City Showcase brought most of New England's top grassroots girls teams together for a massive live period weekend. Who shined in the 2027 class? Here are 12 standouts from @ethman43: basketballjournal.com/2026/05/18/12-…



Athleticism (especially vertical athleticism) is often discussed as a ceiling-raising trait, but in reality, it's closer to establishing a floor for a prospect. Processing, feel, IQ, cognition, or whatever word you want to use regarding basketball intelligence is what raises a prospect's ceiling. That’s why I struggle with the idea that the prospect with a computer for a brain has such a limited ceiling.
