He operated seamlessly and enhanced the offense, particularly in pick-and-pop and pick-and-roll plays, thanks to his ability to knock it down from anywhere on the court. When posting up and establishing position in the high or low post, Jefferson had his next move planned before receiving the ball. His ability to outsmart opponents left them bewildered, often not knowing what hit them.u003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654a5746652c6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2268123"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cdivu003eIdris Mukendi showcased a strong rebounding presence, particularly during moments when he created second-chance points for his team.

He displayed impressive agility and lateral quickness, allowing him to effectively patrol the area from block to block. In the paint, he was a formidable presence, creating an imposing and impenetrable barrier when contesting shots with his hands held high. Richardson's defensive efforts often forced opponents into taking difficult interior shots without committing fouls, making him a key contributor to his team's defense.u003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654a5746653b3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2169918"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cdivu003eGrapevine's 6'10” center [player_tooltip player_id='2169918' first='Matthew' last='Woodcock'], looked exceptional running the floor, utilizing his size and stature effectively to run the middle of the floor. He made an impact on the glass and created open driving angles for his guards. When posting up at the block, he had a proactive approach, setting himself to score before even receiving the ball. Woodcock often made himself a passing option or positioned himself effectively by ducking in and keeping a hand high, ready for the pass.u003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654a57466540c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2268127"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cdivu003eXavier Drumgoole was an effective scorer, particularly off second chance shots and putback layups. He demonstrated his ability to push the pace in transition, putting up points early in the game against Liberty Hill. What set him apart was his hustle, as he consistently outworked everyone to the ball, regardless of its location on the court. On the defensive end, Drumgoole displayed good communication skills, actively pointing out and calling out everything he saw. His efforts not only contributed to scoring but also helped facilitate the fastbreak and maintain a high tempo in transition.u003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654a574665464"} /-->
