He's creative and can pressure D.rnrnDecision making - Wheeler can be trusted to get the ball where it needs to go and to choose the right path or right way to get it there.rnrnShooting - Wheeler has a nice jumper in his arsenal and he can force defenders to pick him up early and not allow him to get a clean look at the rim.rnrnBall control - Wheeler plays under control with the ball in his hands and has the ability to pretty much do with it as he wants. He does a nice job protecting the ball on the bounce.rnrnQuick speed - Wheeler has nice straight line speed that can really put pressure on his defenders in the open floor. He has blow by speed with the ball and builds his speed very quickly.rnrnDriving ability - We've talked about his speed and handles, but Wheeler also has some shiftiness with good hip movement. This combination of skills makes him adept at putting the ball on the floor and taking it to the rim.rnrnBasketball Goals:rnrnWheeler definitely has goals in the game of basketball. He wants to take his talents as far as he can and he wants to represent his home state. u0022My goal is to play at the next level of basketball any division and showcase my talents as a small guard from NCu0022 said Wheeler.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64983be5426ad"} /-->
