When defending the post, he was able to hold his ground against bigger opponents to force missed shots around the rim. He did a good job of timing up his contests and blocks to deny shots without fouling. On the offensive end, D'Alessandro put pressure on the rim by getting into the paint. He got the defense collapsing and out of position on his drives, leading to infinite offensive opportunities. He demonstrated quick decision making by reading the shifts of the defense and hitting the open teammates.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1403954"],"_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":"Milt was able to read both sides of the court over the weekend as he demonstrated two-way skills and took care of things on both ends of the ball. Defensively, he was a pest on the perimeter, not allowing opposing ball handlers much options to do anything but get rid of the ball. He operated with a high defensive awareness as he was able to read and jump passing lanes for deflections and fast break opportunities. On offense, Milt was able to create and maintain driving lanes to the rim and finish through contact in traffic. He also did a good job of moving off the ball to make himself available for the catch and shoot three-pointer.","_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":"Fredrick Johnson","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"null","_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":"Higher Level Elite ","_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":"The speedy guard showed the ability to get downhill with ease, with his explosiveness off the dribble and foot speed in the half court setting. Johnson did a good job of attacking closeouts to get into the midrange for a pull up jumper, which he shot with confidence. He was able dominant in transition due to that lighting quick speed.
