He dropped a couple from the short corners, spotted up well in the corners for catch 3's. He'll drop a 3ptr in transition.

He's a rising prospect in this class that continues to play good all around basketball for his team. If there's a sleeper he might fit the role. He's a solid body with an improving skill set for the guard position. His strength and movements on both ends help. He's hitting the short jumper with good lift, and a hand in face.  He's taking and making 3's (3 in this game).

He had key drives into the paint including a left handed scoop that went in. With all that he does facilitating in the offense, he might be underrated as a defender. He has good length, he's stronger than he looks. His help and alertness on defense generated 5 steals that were passed ahead for points.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1450483"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"A quality guard with good size and skills, he'll be at Washington next season. He has speed, plays at a good pace. He goes up and down the court attacking defenders off the dribble, getting into the lane, he'll change directions, turn the corners, and finish high off the glass over taller defenders. He's a good rebounding guard, keeps the ball live, he doesn't mind mixing it up with the bigs going for rebounds.

He's on an upward path as he continues to sharpen his ball handling, passing, and shooting out on the perimeter. He did knock down a couple of open 3 shots.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65adb95f3fa25"} /-->
