The quick and shifty guard is averaging about 18 ppg while hitting around 2-3 threes a game. He does an excellent job of finding different ways to get open and how to get his shot up over taller players. He likes to break defenders down with his elusive handles to get around tough defenses for open-shot opportunities.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1790210"],"_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":"Hammond has had a terrific season shooting the basketball this season. He is averaging about 2 threes a game looking to get any open shot opportunity he can get from behind the arc. The 5'11u0022 guard can use his shifty handles to get around tough defenders looking to run them off the three-point line. His quick release allows him to get his shot off of most taller players looking to contest him. Hammond can heat up quickly in a game by only seeing 1 to 2 shots go down.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1859565"],"_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":"Jones has been a shot-creator this season, particularly behind the three-point line. He makes it difficult to stay in front of because of his quick handles and ability to hit fading-away jumpers no matter the defense. Jones is averaging around 2 threes a game keeping defenses on their toes trying to stop him from deep. He has zero hesitation when looking to pull-up for an open shot, especially on the fastbreak. He will come off of 0ff-ball screens constantly and uses his quick and smooth release with little resistance from contests.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2107954"],"_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":"Marcoullier has turned into a nice two-way player so far this season but his shooting ability from deep is where it can be difficult to keep up with him on the defensive end. He has made over 30 threes this season looking to add to that total even more. He thrives in the catch-and-shoot game mainly being stationed in the corner to hit the open shot. He can step back well behind the arc the more he makes throughout a game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1919209"],"_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":"Delgado has had a very consistent season this year shooting the basketball. He has little to no hesitation when shooting the basketball and will take any open look he can get. After making 51 threes last season Delgado has already made 34 of them looking to crush his total from last year. His best ability is moving without the ball as he will confuse defenders with how he runs off of off-ball screens looking to free himself up for easy catch-and-shoot opportunities.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ba7ba227458"} /-->
