Providing excellent pace off the initial defensive rebound, the guard gets out quickly to send outlet passes or take it coast to coast. He was particulary selfless in this matchup, showing notable skill on one-handed skip passes from one side of the halfcourt to the other. Defensively, Crawford did well swatting away shots at the rim, although help side was the bulk of his defensive possessions as nobody wants to attack him downhill.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a85be797a64"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369780"],"_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":"The box score efficiency will be fun to see when it arrives, it seemed like Spann could not miss in this matchup. Active attempting and hitting threes from the jump, the senior showed deep range on such attempts off the catch.

He possesses excellent touch while attacking the rim, scoring through floaters or drawing contact at the rim.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a85be797acc"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1360566"],"_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":"The tall wing shot the ball efficiently, rarely forcing three point attempts.
