Most active attacking closeouts immediately off the catch, he gets the majority of his opportunities along the perimeter. Their strong frame allows them to guard up, matching up well versus both backcourt positions. He remains a valuable defender, consistently staying on his man while off-ball, even through screens.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de2a2ac935a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2284311"],"_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 capable wing defender is malleable on that end, effective fighting around screens and manipulating opponent shots with urgency. Should his opponent pick up the dribble, trust that the guard will quickly dig into position for the steal. James is active while off-ball, consistent maneuvering into scoring position around the rim. His off-ball movement inadvertently sets up greater openings for drivers, making him easy to slot into any lineup.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de2a2ac93bf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1897866"],"_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":"Proven as a selfless passer within the halfcourt, Fuentes has done a great job recognizing incoming double teams to find the open man, oftentimes corner shooters. Often operating within the offensive flow, Fuentes is quick to recognize openings in the lane, quick getting to spin moves in traffic. Their low center of gravity and strong frame make them dependable versus contact, effective playing within their own pace.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de2a2ac9435"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680002"],"_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":"A prevalent screener for this Valley group, Giron's main duties are setting up scorers with wider openings. Should opponents hedge the ball handler following a screen, Giron is active diving towards the rim with speed, actively finishing quick layups past contests. His positional strength allows him to be Valley's primary matchup against opposing forwards, effective defending those potential drives. Giron's presence has made this group a bit more versatile on the defensive side, capable of matching up with the biggest opponents when necessary.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de2a2ac94a6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278069"],"_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 assertive scorer within the paint, Gossett should be given a look due to his high motor and strong frame. Capable of getting to spin moves down in the paint, the forward is confident scoring with either hand while in traffic. A quality screen setter for ball handlers, Gossett remains physical, significantly opening up driving lanes for teammates. If hit while rolling to the rim, the forward keeps his head up for the extra pass when available. Carlsbad remains a competitive program, in part due to Gossett's beneficial impact on both ends.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de2a2ac950d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1542189"],"_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 forward has been dependable on the defensive end, effective at rotating early to contest shots around the rim. His strong frame mitigates a wide variety of opponents from backing him down in the post. Certainly a versatile defender for this 17-9 Alamogordo group, Warren has also worked into the leading scorer role for this team. A large part of his scoring comes from the paint, active rolling or slashing into position, drawing a fairly consistent dosage of fouls each game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de2a2ac9566"} /-->
