Effective in help defense for kick outs or bounce passes to cutters, the wing remains among the top prospects in this class. Defensively, they can match up against four positions with ease.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65affcd695b0b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1764301"],"_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":"18.8 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 4.4 APG, 2.7 SPG, 52% 2P, 41% 3P, 79% FTrnrnCallahan's refined shotmaking profile from all three levels has rounded out Fort Lupton's high octane offense. Adept relocating for jumpers off movement, he has been excellent flowing off of weak side actions for shot attempts.
