He is an athletic defender using size, speed, and core strength to create problems for opposing scorers. He is a slashing playmaker that can get busy in the open court and an above the rim threat with great jumping ability. He is a contact finisher and can hit just about any shot from around 15 ft. with a scorers touch on soft jumpers and runners.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2373632"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650d4f849d24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">BJ is a crafty, playmaking scorer. He can be a spot up threat or dribble drive offensive creator. He's patient on offense when controlling the ball under pressure or attacking guards at the top of the key. He has a strong sense of floor spacing that helps him find teammates in seams and gaps. He plays with good court vision and IQ switching between a facilitator and 3 level scoring role. His on-ball defense is developing him into a great shot contester. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021852"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650d4f849d68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner is a durable, inside-out scorer. He can create space or score through contact. An unselfish scorer, who looks to get his teammates going first and get in the mix alongside them. He has potential to grow as a high level scorer with his ability to go off the dribble and control his pace. He is strong, agile defender that pressures ball handlers constantly and he is a smart help side defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1487698"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650d4f849daa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaiden is an acrobatic finisher with a reliable jump shot. He is a shifty, agile ball handler that creates gaps and keeps defenders guessing with his change of direction. He has 3 level scoring potential with a mature feel for his game. He uses blow by speed and finesse to get open looks for himself. On defense he has the upside to be a multi-position switch defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
