He's one of the leaders in offensive rebounds through three sessions so far for the FL Rebels and is fifth overall on the team in total rebounds. Bernard has a great “second jump” when getting position for a tip in or offensive board that extends a possession. He's got soft hands around the rim and even though he's still adding muscle to his frame, can carve out just enough space to get a hand on the ball and secure rebounds. Bernard is also continuing to grow his guard skills and ballhandling. He will be a force to reckon with as time goes on and his dedication shows on the court in the win column.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2397027"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='2397027' first='Carson' last='Crawford'] is another extremely active player on the glass for the Rebels squad. So far this year on the circuit more than half of his rebounds have been on the offensive end, giving his team extra possessions and looks at the basket. Another bouncy 6'6” player who just ends up in the right spots frequently and shows he understands the game in understated ways by being positionally sound. If he keeps this up his offer list will continue to grow.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2125489"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Though [player_tooltip player_id='2125489' first='Jadus' last='Sorhaindo'] clocks in as a 6'7” combo wing/forward, he plays much bigger than his role on the court. Just a shade under half of his rebounds are on the offensive end giving his team more time to get a good look on offense. Sorhaindo is a player who already is tracking the ball's trajectory before his teammates put up a shot and trying to position himself for the potential rebound. He does a great job getting around other players or simply beating them to a spot so he can find his space to operate in or grab a board.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2294543"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Probably one of the most unexpected players to make this list is [player_tooltip player_id='2294543' first='Anthony' last='Walcott'], who as a 6'4” guard just finds a way to be a part of almost every possession. He's second overall in rebounds on the team behind Sorhaindo and second on the offensive glass. Walcott also leads NightRydas in blocks overall through three sessions. His offensive game demands he be played effectively as well because he can easily breakdown his defender off the dribble or pull up in transition and splash a bucket in their face.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664d1e46cd6be"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rebounding is all about positioning and heart. These players showed they have that and more on the court this last weekend. High IQ was on full display from these guys as they found a way to be an integral part of their teams moments when they were needed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
