Johnson is a spot-up shooter with unlimited range. Not afraid to take a deep shot and has a tremendous amount of confidence with the ball. Has a quick release to get the shot off before the defender closes out on him. Hustles back on defense to make the right plays every time.
Schmidt is a great ball handler. Does not let the pressure effect his control of the ball. He is able to find his way out of tough situations and end up shooting the ball in the paint. Great passer off the pick and roll. Plays with excellent pace and can keep control of the offense. Great scorer as well.
Nicol is a great player down low. Able to get position on the inside and get the ball in scoring position. Excels at coming out and rolling off a screen, cutting to the basket. He can also take the ball off the dribble and work the pick and roll himself to find open teammates. Can either play in the paint or outside the ark.
Smith is an all around player. He either utilizes his size to get a bucket down low and finish with ease or can blow by you with a great first step and knock down a mid-range jumper. Can also shoot outside of the ark consistently whether off the dribble or off the catch. Excellent defender as well and a great shot blocker.
Highlights
Chapman is a problem for defenses when the ball is in his hands. He can pull up for a nice, fadeaway jumper or is a catch and shoot threat from behind the three point line. Has a nice handle on the ball and is a great facilitator. Able to drive through the paint and finishes with ease. Takes tremendous pride on defense.
