He needs very little room, in general, to get off his quick release making it difficult to defend and run out to contest. Not only can Kipnis shoot but he has an all-around game too. He uses his 6'2u0022 frame to see over the offense to make plays for his teammates, crash the glass, block shots, and strip defenders if you try to size him up. I see no reason why Kipnis won't skyrocket up the rankings next year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1273938"],"_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":"Magner is everything you want out of a shooting guard. He can defend multiple positions and moves laterally very well. Magner's shooting ability allows him to shoot over anyone with his 6'4u0022 size and quick release. The finishing ability for Magner is where he scores most of his points as he can hit you with a variety of moves down low while also making fast cuts down the lane from the top of the key or baseline. He'll even make some beautiful sharp-cut passes that can surprise the defense.

Magner is everything you want out of a shooting guard. He can defend multiple positions and moves laterally very well. Magner’s shooting ability allows him to shoot over anyone with his 6’4″ size and quick release. The finishing ability for Magner is where he scores most of his points as he can hit you with a variety of moves down low while also making fast cuts down the lane from the top of the key or baseline. He’ll even make some beautiful sharp-cut passes that can surprise the defense. Look for Magner to take a big leap in production next year.
