He moves laterally almost as quick as he runs straight making it difficult for ball handlers to get around him. Williams can be sneaky on inbounds passes as he likes to go behind the player that will receive the ball only to jump the lane and steal the ball to score an easy layup before the other team even reacts. His contests will usually alter other shots causing for bad misses.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1153277"],"_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":"Seals at 6'4u0022 can be a problem for other teams because of how he plays defense. He has great reactions to poke the ball free if someone is trying to break him down. He seems to always be at the right place and time coming up with numerous loose balls. Seals will look to slide over on the perimeter to trap players in the corner. His ability to get over screens is how he can force players to stay on the perimeter and not go into the paint.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1213557"],"_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":"Frauenheim is a speedy guard that will look to pick up his assignment full court and never give them room to go anywhere. He can force ball handlers to go into the corner to either trap them or force them baseline to take a difficult shot. At 5'10u0022 Frauenheim can hold his own when guarding bigger players using his quickness to poke the ball free. His ability to dive after loose balls and kick the ball ahead on the fastbreak give his team more chances for easier baskets.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["933045"],"_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":"Payne is great at knowing when to trap players forcing them into tough situations leading to many turnovers. His quick hands allow him to come up with lots of steals. Payne's lateral movement gives him the ability to be on an island comfortably when guarding a skilled ball handler or shooter. He likes the challenge of guarding isolation plays. His contests are very effective causing for lots of misses leading to easy transition points.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1407195"],"_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":"Harrison is an impressive perimeter defender standing at 6'4u0022 as he can guard multiple positions and switch onto anyone. He gets over screens fast without causing a foul making sure he lets no one in the paint. Harrison can pick you up full court and will give very little breathing room throughout a game. He likes to send players to the baseline so that this way he can lead them to their center leading to a difficult shot.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64d3de0bc8d2e"} /-->

Having players on your team that can lockup the other team's best perimeter player is extremely important. We have players from this class that can do just that.
