His off-ball activity was not just from the glass, but he was one of the best cutters for this team, creating a handful of points solely from backdoor cuts.

Possessing a consistent three point shot from distance, the guard was knockdown off the catch. While in transition, he did well to push the pace, often from well placed outlet passes to teammates. Pueblo County features an exciting group of 2026s, certainly capable of making some noise in due time.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fb12fce51ea"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622333"],"_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":"Turlapaty continued to knock down triples from distance, effective along the wings and corners. Not just a shooter, the guard looked to attack driving lanes while help was recovering, contributing on quite a few attempts at the rim.

At 6'3, they have good size to see above the defense, proactive making plays within the half court. A wiry strong athlete, Franceschi was physical defending opponents around the rim, taking bumps while maintaining position. He will be a name worth following over the course of this summer and throughout his final season at Aspen.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fb12fce52ce"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622327"],"_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":"Sevy got up for a few dramatic dunks, showing continued improvements in vertical athleticism over the past 6 months. He was particularly willing to step into pull-up jumpers and pivot finishes around the rim, showing more willingness while handling the ball. The forward is a tall scoring threat, especially dangerous while slashing along the baseline. As the jumper and handle continue to improve, we will see Sevy's shotmaking opportunities continue to progress.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fb12fce5319"} /-->
