He can block shots and grab steals from passes in the paint with good anticipation and quickness. A good hustle player that will pull down rebounds and get them back up for easy second chance buckets. He is also solid at passing out of the paint after securing boards whether its offensive boards and passes out to reset the offense or if it's boards to the outlet pass starting the fast break. Good at guarding the 2 on 1 and splitting defenders.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2381867"],"_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":"JP is a mountain of potential.

He can rebound decently due to his size. He is a post presence that can flash high to the elbow and create tough situations for zone defenses. Look forward to him growing as an offensive threat and gaining some more athleticism with his speed and jumping ability.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2395088"],"_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":"Carlos is a nice 3u0026amp;D player who gives good effort on both ends. He is definitely a shooter you don't want to get a late close out against, he will make you pay. A good on ball defender that can play the perimeter well staying with ball handlers. He can put it on the floor as well as find teammates to get the ball moving, but he shines as spot up threat and that opens up his whole game.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2423556"],"_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":"Ethan has a solid understanding of the point guard role, looking to swing the ball and find teammates consistently.
