He started the game out with a three from the wing, then he really got going, getting to the hoop and finishing with athleticism. Showed a well-rounded skill set, shooting the three well and with confidence, and his usual high-flying ability. Made some impressive finishes at the hoop and some difficult jumpers.

He made for a tough matchup by being a load to handle in the paint and by popping three threes. He's a skilled big man that has many interior moves to free himself up for looks at the hoop. An effective spin-game, where he makes tight spins to finish. Showed the ability to create his own mid-range shots and also catch-and-shoot. Plays with finesse and power.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1270654"],"_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":"Was really impressed with his overall size as a 6'3 guard. And also impressed with his performance on the court. I believe he's a next-level talent, with his size and skill combo. Finished with 16 points (5-11 FG) (2-6 3FG) + 6 rebounds.
