A do-it-all defender, the senior wing was often tasked with guarding whoever had the hot hand and excelled in doing so. At 6-6, he can guard down-low or on the perimeter, finishing with three blocks and a crucial late-game steal to seal the Bulldogs win on Friday. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["709227"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eIt was a toss-up on whether to put Carey here or on the best finishers list after a 21-point and 9 rebound outing, but his three blocks and steal was too much to ignore. Carey is an athletic freak that can guard multiple positions, staying disciplined down low to disrupt shot attempts. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["986954"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Despite the overtime loss, Degourville was all over the place for Durango.
