He has a smooth quick release and can knock down jump shots at a consistent rate. His size and length provide the ability to also defend multiple positions and can rebound efficiently.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1874794"],"_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":"The 5-11 combo guard has an athletic frame and can get to the basket off his pure quickness and first step. He also is a three-level scorer where he will knock down the open shot. His ball-handling skills have also gotten better as his freshman season went on.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1570554"],"_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":"The 5-11 shooting guard plays with an unselfish edge and is always willing to make the extra pass to an open teammate. He is crafty when the basketball is in his hands and can initiate the offense as a primary point guard as well. His ability to create separation for his own shot also took a step into the right direction this past season as well.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1560976"],"_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":"The 5-11 shooting guard can catch and shoot with the best of them as he is a knockdown perimeter threat. On the defensive end he has amazing body placement and is always in the passing lanes where he can turn defense into offense. His creativity on the offensive end will also be worth making a note of as he plays with an unselfish edge getting his teammates involved.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6425a47c86b6a"} /-->
