The team is getting hot at the right time, coming off back to back League victories this week, and his ability to stretch the floor and change the Scoreboard with his three point shooting will be key.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1538223"],"_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":"Guthrie is a big time scorer who provides the Mustangs with an explosive 1-2 punch.

I don't think they can come home with the title without contributions from Poole. The PG has had some big scoring games in the past and they will need his contributions on both ends to have a chance to come away with some playoff victories.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1489257"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"It's been a short sample size but Franklin has been tremendous. The wing is a versatile playmaker, that gives a deep and balanced Skyhawks squad another weapon.

Massey gives the Wildcats a third scorer to go along side [player_tooltip player_id='1253136' first='Tayshaun' last='Jackson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1345414' first='Marcus' last='Gomez'].

When the senior forward plays hard and with energy the Rattlers are almost unstoppable. He brings a ruggedness and toughness to a team that likes to play fast. His ability to get second shots for an uptempo team that is going to have a lot of possessions, will be imparrative to the Rattlers defending their crown.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1571075"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Mikas has done a great job filling in for the injured [player_tooltip player_id='986798' first='Alijah' last='Adem'].
