He has tight handles allowing him to break defenders down to get open shots. He looks to drive strong to the rim seeking contact for free-throw opportunities as well. Akande works the midrange game well and can draw double teams leaving his teammates open for shots. His release is high and quick and needs little to no room to get it off standing at 6'4u0022.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1406994"],"_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":"Eglinton-Manner is an elite three-point shooter with a very quick release. He is always moving without the basketball coming off of off-ball screens and cutting lanes to open up scoring opportunities for him. Eglinton-Manner can hit shots off the dribble as he will look to break defenders down to create that extra bit of space. On defense, he has great timing on when to intercept passing lanes and stripping the ball away.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1547459"],"_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":"Green is an excellent two-way player that can change the course of a game. On offense, he has a very high-arching shot along with his high release making it extremely difficult to get any sort of effective contest on it. He has a soft touch around the rim and likes to crash the glass at will. On defense, his ability to block shots while also disrupting passing lanes is game-changing as he can switch and guard anyone.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2024585"],"_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":"Maynard is a quick and shifty guard who has a lot of elite offensive moves at his disposal. He looks to play downhill but under control with his crafty handles breaking multiple defenders down. He is a shot-creator as he can hit any fading or step-back shot in front of him no matter how tough the defense is. Maynard has a smooth release and can knock down jump shots in a hurry. On defense, he takes pride in it as he stands strong in front of offensive players making it difficult for them to get by him thanks to his quick lateral movement.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1153994"],"_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":"Van Raaphorst can do almost everything out there on the court with his best ability working the midrange and painted area. He is very patient when searching for shots and will not hesitate to hit the pull-up jump shot when you give him the space. His finishing ability around the rim is excellent as he can hang in the air and seek contact from multiple defenders to get the layup to go. Van Raaphorst can shoot the three well with the corners seeming to be his favorite spot. On defense, he can guard multiple positions and will crash the glass any chance he gets.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-653162802cd3c"} /-->
