He willed his team when they had a hard time scoring and his athleticism and leaping ability was on display. Hawkins had a big dunk early in the game that really kept that energy flowing for his team. He hit jumpers, three's and was attacking at a high level.

The level of difficulty was just of the charts. Although his recruiting has been somewhat secretive he is D1 PG and he can shoot the thing with the best of them. Lewis has so much wiggle that no matter who you put on him he is going to find a way. He runs off screens like a Reggie Miller and he has great mechanics like a JJ Reddick. Lewis went for 30 and almost all of his attempt were beyond a 10 on the difficulty scale.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e36d1a69b23"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278438"],"_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":"Dash is no longer in his brothers shadow, he is his own player and he just has some really good timing. He can really shoot the ball and it is at all three-levels and beyond as he hit a few beyond the college line. His shifty hanlde gets him space to get to his midrange. Reiser will be one of the better scoring PG's coming back next year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e36d1a69b72"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1057020"],"_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":"One of teh best game managers in the state as Jordy was on his game using that shift of gears.
