An active downhill scoring threat, the guard is always on prowl for driving lanes, although he is particularly willing to pass first and foremost. He's often under control while on offense, actively stepping into mid-range attempts following a wild closeout.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d924aed1285"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679999"],"_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":"9.1 PPG, 2.7 APG, 2.3 RPGrnrnMarfil has great intuition on both ends, although he is a difference maker on the defensive end. Active roaming around while off-ball for steals in passing lanes, the guard is especially active on help defense. At the point of attack, he matches up well with both backcourt positions, both strong and laterally quick. He does a great job getting out early in transition, making himself available for outlets.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d924aed12ed"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1897847"],"_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":"7.9 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 3.1 APGrnrnBickham brings value along the perimeter, a willing three point shooter off the catch. Effective fooling opponents with pump fakes, the guard has been excellent staying patient within the halfcourt. His smooth shotmaking is not his only skill on offense, Bickham also shows a willingness and urgency to move around the ball in the half court. Particularly active on skip passes across the halfcourt, the guard keeps his head up to put the defense into rotations.  Bringing a strong frame, Bickham is capable of guarding up against bigger guards, taking contact while retaining position.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d924aed1340"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685517"],"_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":"21.6 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 2.4 APGrnrnRush is worth another look given his positional size and strong frame.

His high volume scoring provided the engine for Manzano's offense, up above 100 attempts on free throws and three pointers. At 37% on threes and 70% from the free throw line, he has been fairly efficient as an under 6' guard. Rhodes has a chance to be an effective player at the next level, certainly a dependable scoring threat within the offensive flow.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d924aed141e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1416230"],"_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":"17.5 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 1.5 APGrnrnFlorez is an effective jack of all trades, putting his stamp on the game in so many areas.
