Though he won't wow you with athleticism, Dare uses misdirection, change of speed, and fundamentals to get where he needs to go on the court. He does a great job of using the defense's aggressiveness against them and getting to his sweet spots to get efficient shots. When slashing to the paint, Dare does a great job of using touch on his finishes to beat shot blockers. As a facilitator, Dare is a primary playmaker who can initiate the offense, create easy looks for others, and make the simple pass to keep the offense in rhythm. With a creative handle, he can create offense for himself and others - making him a dual threat as a floor general and a reliable scoring option.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/davisdare_1/status/1602308135494062080?s=20u0026amp;t=CghK00U52XyDdckgLL11Fw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/davisdare_1/status/1602308135494062080?s=20&amp;t=CghK00U52XyDdckgLL11Fw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1564726"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63ab8ecb5a909"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a knack for generating steals as a help defender and consistent offensive production, Sexton is a two-way wing who has the potential to be a high-value player. Offensively Sexton plays within the offense. He displays good timing on cuts, knock-down shooting off the catch and can serve as a secondary ball handler to initiate offense and get others involved. Defensively Sexton has the size to guard 1-3 and shows high activity in the passing lanes as a roamer. His ability to patrol the court like a free safety has generated numerous transition points for him and his teammates. Sexton also is a good rebounder for his position and is usually good for five or more boards on any given night.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_tysonsexton/status/1565044629933899780?s=20u0026amp;t=CghK00U52XyDdckgLL11Fw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_tysonsexton/status/1565044629933899780?s=20&amp;t=CghK00U52XyDdckgLL11Fw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Rashawn Witherspoon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Tuscaloosa County ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63ab8ecb5a9db"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Witherspoon is an all-around guard who can contribute at the next level as a high-end complimentary player. The Tuscaloosa product has starred in the role of a secondary scoring option and primary defensive stopper. Defensively he's highly active and uses his wingspan to crowd ball handlers and contest shots. Witherspoon uses his quickness and hustle to force tough shots and turnovers when pickpocketing opposing guards. Though he's excellent on the ball, Witherspoon is athletic enough to disrupt passing lanes, covert chase down blocks, and play as an eraser on defense. On the offensive end, he's a capable shooter that provides spacing for a ball-dominant playmaker. He's also adept at slicing through the lane and finishing efficiently at the rim. Witherspoon can also serve as a reliable playmaker who can advance the ball, get the offense going, and make the right read from the wing or as a backup PG.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/rashawnw2023/status/1596300635234009088?s=20u0026amp;t=FfKjL6f5rMeo4OaIXCoSOg","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/rashawnw2023/status/1596300635234009088?s=20&amp;t=FfKjL6f5rMeo4OaIXCoSOg </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2257657' first='Sam' last='Duskin']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cullman ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63ab8ecb5aa6d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Duskin is a significant glue guy that provides athleticism and versatility. As a three-and-D wing, Duskin has a high release point and fluid mechanics on his jumper. He specializes in burying looks from the deep corner, which optimizes space on the floor and is one of the most efficient shots on the court. Duskin is also scrappy on the offensive boards and rebounds tremendously well for his position. On the defensive end, Duskins' positional fluidity allows him to be a plus defender. With a great motor, he's constantly fighting for loose balls, making stops in transition, grabbing 50/50 balls, and making life harder for whoever he's assigned to guard.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SamDuskin/status/1598058110429859841?s=20u0026amp;t=3ChES7Io3K-M-9oL6Qg9YQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SamDuskin/status/1598058110429859841?s=20&amp;t=3ChES7Io3K-M-9oL6Qg9YQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2257632' first='Braylon' last='Bernard']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"John Carroll ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63ab8ecb5aaf6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bernard is a guard with a tremendous will to win. With incredible grit and willingness to sacrifice, he'd be an asset on any team. Bernard is a player who consistently is going to make winning plays on both ends of the ball. He willingly takes charges, guards bigger post players, makes the extra pass, and is willing to crash the boards amongst the trees. Though he's gritty, Bernard possesses a solid skill set offensively. He can sufficiently space the floor and attack closeouts and create opportunities at the rim. However, Bernard excels at playmaking for others. He shows excellent vision when penetrating the paint to create looks for others and can find cutters on the perimeter with accurate passes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/braylon_bernard/status/1607107358584348676?s=20u0026amp;t=SqGqwSzrbmp3qYJZxLNHiQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/braylon_bernard/status/1607107358584348676?s=20&amp;t=SqGqwSzrbmp3qYJZxLNHiQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
