White is fortunate to have a standout player in Steven Cruz, a highly skilled and very instinctive point guard. Cruz's ability to read the game and make smart decisions, whether he has the ball or not, changed the game. His knockdown three-point shooting made him a constant threat from beyond the arc. He displayed a quick trigger release off the dribble as well as the catch, particularly when letting it fly around the left wing of the court. Whenever a defender closed out on him, Cruz utilized his explosive first step to blow by them and attack the basket. What made Cruz so remarkable was his knack for capitalizing on the defensive gaps and maximizing every opportunity that came his way.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-649d259e7080c"} /-->
