Insanely skilled and poised as a big point guard. Handles the ball and maneuvers at a high level. One of the best and pure 3-point shooters in the state. Controlled, steady, elite passer. Not a twitchy athlete, but is quick offensively because of his tight handle on the ball. Committed to D2 University ofSioux Falls and an All-State player.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657aaa826a7cb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297809"],"_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":"Talley's stock is clearly on an upward trajectory.
