He has a good pace in his game. He plays one smooth speed and doesn't let anyone or anything sped him up. His big body and strength allow him to get to the basket easily. He has a nice jumper as well so he is a threat off the ball. He also is a nice passer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1285254"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":1619388,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Bays is a very good player. Long arms and has a great body. A thick lower body that helps him elevate very easily. Bouncy player. He also has a good basketball IQ. Plays the game the right way and makes some eye-catching passes. When his jumper becomes very consistent his game will go to the next level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1615914"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":1619395,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"I watched Haywood play twice and one thing stays consistent for him, buckets. A kid can flat-out score. Once he sees one go in a lot more are going to follow. His teammates started to feed him as well and look for him because his hand gets hot quickly. Very good at getting to the rim. Good wingspan and bounce.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1617843"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":1619396,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Howard-Morrison has some very strong and aggressive takes for his teams today. He wouldn't be denied getting to the basket when he put his head down. He did some nice things today and showed a good jumper but didn't fall involved with it so I didn't get to see if it was consistent or not but if it is watch out. He also used his slasher threat to create shots for others.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1353380"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":1619397,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Smith has some good length for him. Made plays late in the game I watched. Used his length well to get up shots and layups. Had some nice tough finishes over and around defenders. Multiple good takes.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1462979"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":1619398,"_player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Nigro teams knew when he got the ball to run back on defense because three points were going on the board. He was automatic at this expo. He is a corner specialist but he can light it up from whoever is beyond the arc. Great form on his jumper. Good size on him as well.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1617839"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":1619399,"_player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Childs is a very stout and strong point guard that filled up the scoring sheet. He scored at a high volume and made it look easy. Made multiple threes and finished great around the rim. He got hot very quickly as well. He was only scoring either, he made very good plays for his teammates. Real good playmakers.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1617828"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_player_featured_image":1619400,"_player_evaluations_7_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Majors is a very long player that uses it very well to disrupt him. Wirey kid. He almost hops when he is running. He has very good patience on both ends of the floor. He times his steal attempts very well and doesn't rush himself on offense. He is always on balance as well.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
