<p><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">Knockdown jump shooter off the dribble from deep on the right-wing. The thing that set Fuller apart from other jump shooters at this event was his ability to drill contested three-pointers at an efficient rate. The Tarrant Elite guard s</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">hot and made a lot of jumpers off balance, has a slight body twist in his shooting motion after elevating. </span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">His long-range shooting prowess played a major role in keeping his team in games and keeping the score tight. </span></p>

<p><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">Fletcher Cravens has limitless shooting range alongside a quick trigger that stays ready and willing to fire and take advantage of the slightest bit of space. Cravens went on a continuous</span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}"> hunt for openings beyond the arc and his teammates assisted greatly in getting him clean looks with off-ball screens and misdirections. Cravens was at his best and</span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}"> most efficient from the corner and the top of the key no matter how deep he launched it. </span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">Great looking stroke with a touch that splashed through the net beautifully each time.</span></p>

Pure s</span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">harpshooter with an unorthodox shooting form, but good consistency and a snappy quick release.
