Plenty of size to play down low, Robert had no trouble making his way to the basket and being a force inside the paint. Robert also boasted a nice mid range shot as well nailing multiple 15-footers. On defense his height plays to his advantage being able to swat down shots inside the paint.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2140919"],"_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":"The Evolution's other standout performer was Gabe Turner. At 6'0 tall, Turner has enough size to make noise in the paint and play down low, while also being able to take shots from mid-range and even knock down shots from beyond the arc on occasion. Having the presence of mind to know when to take the shot and when to drive the lane as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2386164"],"_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":"Ethan Eisenberg of Appleton, Wisconsin made noise for the Blizzard in a tight game against the Evolution. At 5'10 he was one of the bigger players on his team but that didn't stop him from taking shots from outside when the opportunity presented itself, nailing multiple threes from the corner. He also took it to the rim down low on occasion. Eisenberg's quickness allows him to generate space and give him multiple options offensively.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2386377"],"_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":"Though small in stature at just 5'3 Magic Xiong uses this to his advantage on the court. With good first step quickness to get the ball up the floor and run the play, he was catching the defense off-guard multiple times and allowing the Blizzard to get plenty of open looks. Xiong has no problem taking shots as well using the quickness to his advantage to gain space and get clean looks. Speed can also work to his advantage down low, making more than a few layups weaving around larger defenders.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2417287"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Fields was all over the court for the Titans in their matchup with the [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. Running plays up the court and distributing the ball with ease, not being afraid to take it himself on occasion and drive the lane.
