Matching or improving his efficiency on much larger volume, the guard has spiked his scoring 13.1 points to 24.6 points per game. What has been most impressive is the guard's ability to maintain his efficiency while posing as the center of opponent scouting reports throughout the season. Capable of rising up for off-balance jumpers in the mid-range or throwing down an emphatic slam, few guards in the state have risen to the challenge quite like Berninger.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6593983fc8bb2"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1848643"],"_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":"3 GP: 20.7 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.7 BPG, 70% 2PrnrnIncredibly efficient inside the arc, Jones' production has skyrocketed since last season with greater volume.
