He is a deadly knock down shooter from behind the arc, being able to connect at a high rate and making the defense pay for leaving him open. His shooting ability helps him create off the dribble with a quick first step, getting to the rim and finishing inside the paint, finishing through contact at times. He has nice touch around the rim and can finish with finesse at times as well. Will be a top shooter to keep an eye on moving forward.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1420312"],"_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":"Lowman is a player that has taken a jump this spring and will look to continue that into the summer. He is a high energy guard that is able to get it done on both ends of the court. He is a pest on the defensive end and can pickup the ball handler past half-court, making them work the entire length of the court. At times he is able to use his length and help inside, crashing the boards. He is also able to step out and knock down the three ball consistently, making defenders pay when he is left open.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1577178"],"_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":"Carrizales is a player that has started to reshape his game this spring and has turned some heads in the process. He is known as being a knock down shooter but has expanded his game, as he starts to create off the dribble more. He is a deadly shooter from behind the arc and now has started to use that to get inside and finish at the rim over taller defenders. He can stop and pop or finish with finesse inside and that will help him make a big jump this summer. On the defensive end he has quick hands and can poke the ball out, getting out quickly in transition.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1420420"],"_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":"Bergstrom is a player that is a pest on the defensive end and will look to continue to build on that this summer. He is a good off-ball defender and can really anticipate passes jumping in the passing lanes and getting out on the break in transition. He has quick feet and can get over quickly in help side, getting in the cutting lanes and disrupting the flow of the offense. He can also make it difficult to score on the inside as he can block shots as well. He will be a defender to keep on the radar moving forward.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1463539"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Simental is a defender that is looking to make a big jump going into his senior season. He is a lengthy guard that is a pest on the defensive end and can come away with steal and can help in the paint as well. He plays the passing lanes well, being able to anticipate and get it out quickly in transition, hitting an open teammate for an easy basket. He has good on-ball defense as well, showing quick feet and being able to stay in front of the ball handlers and getting off his feet fast for the block. He will be another defensive guard to keep an eye on moving forward.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6476ade935614"} /-->
