He is a force to be reckoned with on the glass standing at 7'0u0022 he will grab every rebound in his vicinity. Manley is quick almost like a guard for his size and can guard the paint and perimeter if put in that situation. When Manley looks to work in the post he will usually have the size mismatch allowing him to go straight up with his height and long arms.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1773141"],"_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":"Manley is an elite defensive player who looks to lock down the paint for his team. His long arms and 7'0u0022 height allow him to contest and swat away almost any shot that comes near him. He is a vacuum on the glass and seems to always get excellent posts when boxing out players. He will dominate the offensive glass and look to use his quick reactions and timing to go right back up with the ball to either draw a foul or get an easy putback.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1773117"],"_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":"Ajeigbe can affect the game on both the offensive and defensive end due to his two-way ability. At 6'8u0022 he can play and guard multiple positions and looks to get most of his shots from inside the painted area. He has excellent athleticism which allows him to go up and grab rebounds over taller players. Ajeigbe moves his feet very well and has a great recovery time if he gets beat to block a shot at the rim. He can work the post too and has a plethora of moves he can do.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1773127"],"_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":"Grier is a defensive specialist that can guard any position in both the paint and perimeter. He has excellent timing when it comes to contesting and blocking shots. He will always look to box out the bigger players so that his team has the best chance to secure the rebound. Grier moves his feet well which allows him to lock down perimeter players. He has a soft touch around the rim and does a good job of evading contact when driving inside.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1775076"],"_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":"Gordon is a high-flying shot blocker who looks to swat every shot into the stands.

He is dangerous in the pick-n-roll game and looks to attack the rim any chance he gets.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65905565d104f"} /-->
