He's athletic with good bounce, getting a good lift on his mid-range jump shot. He hit a step back 3ptr. His first step drives along the baseline produced a couple of good takes, but no buckets. He had good lateral movement, and foot speed to stay in front of defenders. He has some tools, but will have to convert his shot opportunities.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Xavier Bibbs","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Cordova","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Standing 6'4 Bibbs was the biggest, and strongest player on the court. He has the body to bang with taller post players. He has good bounce and is active in the paint area. He had good control of the boards, and would get it and go showing he can handle well enough to bring it up court in transition. He did go coast to coast a couple of times. He'll be a strong rebounder for this team and will get points in the paints.

He didn't score early on, but continued to contribute in other ways. At 6'3 he did a good job of defending and going to get rebounds. He did a good job of moving, and passing the ball around the perimeter. He used his size and dribble to handle up top to see over defenders and deliver solid passes to cutters going to the basket. He was at his best in the 4th qtr, scoring 8pts, two 3's, and a strong drive for 2 to finish with 13pts.

He did a good job of controlling the pace of the game, he pushed in transition when it presented itself, he showed patience in running the teams set plays in half-court. He's a thick body with good handles, and vision to find teammates. He's a hard driver to the rim, and doesn't mind the contact.

They are interchangeable at the guard position, while one is facilitating the offense, the other could be receiving the pass making strong moves and good passing decisions when he gets it. They do a good job of working to keep this young group involved. They light up when there's an opportunity to attack the basket in transition, or in half-court space.

He'll have to get stronger so he doesn't get knocked off his path, but he did a good using his dribble to attack the paint using floaters and jumpers to finish. He looked to involve teammates, his vision, and passing were good in transition. He has good shooting form, he can hit the mid-range jumper off the dribble.

He has a dribble drive fade away jump shot that goes down for him. Rosales had 10 pts in the 4th, scoring key buckets down the stretch in a tight ball game to give his team a chance to win it.
