The big man did a good job of moving his feet against quicker ball handlers and forcing them to pass it up. Offensively, he did a good job of rim running and diving into open space. We saw him dive to the rim on the BLOB and get up above the defensive for the and1 finish on the lob pass from the baseline.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1948390"],"_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":"When operating off-ball, Wesson did a good job of moving into open space and cutting through the paint. With the ball in his hands, he showed the ability to get deep into the paint on rim attacks, leading to kick out and dump off passes for assists and tough shots at the rim for himself. He displayed his range and focus as we saw him knock down multiple catch and shoot three-pointers over the defenders' contests.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1260037"],"_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":"Coles showed the ability to create driving lanes and take advantage of them leading to consistent paint touches. When entering crowded paints, Coles made the right decisions on time, leading to assists. On the defensive end, Cole stayed engaged throughout every game. Constantly digging at opposing drivers, he was able to force turnovers and initiate fast breaks.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Yusuf White","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"BWSL TMB 2024/17u","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"White brought a much-needed physical presence to the court over the weekend. He displayed that physicality by pulling down strong defensive rebounds in traffic. He was able to make the outlet pass quickly or grab the rebound off the glass and take it coast to coast to finish the transition play at the other end. He did a good job of sliding his feet to contain and cut off shifty ball handlers without fouling. When defending the paint, White was able to hold his ground and force missed shots around the rim.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Daron Baugh","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"Team Push 17u Bowman ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Baugh displayed smart, on-time decision making in the open court. In fastbreak and transition situations, Baugh was adept at drawing in the defense and making the right read to pick up easy assists. Baugh's decisiveness was present in the half court in pick and roll actions as well. He was able to make a play for himself coming off of the screen and operated with his head up at all times when waiting for the window for a pass to the roller to open.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645bc595e55b7"} /-->
