His shot creation inside the arc and shot-making from outside it kept Premier in the game on a day where the offense wasn't flowing as well as it normally does due to some tough defense played by WeR1. He's much more decisive in his reads off the bounce, getting to his spots to raise up for a shot or find a teammate. His body has improved and his attention to detail at the defensive end of the floor has as well. His development athleltically as well as seeing some of the more advanced passing reads with the ability to switch defensively will likely determine his ceiling—but there is a ton to like here.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1576719"],"_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":"“Munchie” showed a ton of perimeter wiggle in a matchup with [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier'] in his first game with his new team. An advanced handle allows him to navigate smoothly in tight spaces, taking care of the rock down the stretch of a close game while finding teammates off the bounce. He has a good finishing bag around the basket and hit two floaters in the paint over the out-stretched arms of the defense. Didn't arrive in time to catch him shoot many jumpers but the shot pocket and follow-through were fluid and consistent.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1561893"],"_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":"Shooting is at a premium in today's game and Gustafson has that in spades. Coming off of pindowns, moving to open space, one dribble pull-ups—Gustafson had it going against a Thrill team that has some athletes to throw at you defensively. The handle is good enough to get him into his shot quickly and efficiently but will need to improve to be able to break down his matchup on an island. Gustafson served as a pesky on-ball defender that collected deflections and won 50-50 balls to extend possessions for his team.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1414526"],"_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":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrn“Ice” certainly proved that nickname isn't a fluke with a fluid one-dribble pull-up 3 to win the game for Thrill, showing the development in his game the last calendar year. A good vertical athlete with the size and frame to develop into a high-level 3+D guard—Egbiremolen will need to improve the fluidity in his hips as well as his footwork in order to maximize the athletic tools at his disposal. His motor at both ends of the floor and willingness to do the duty work shines through in the steps that he has already taken in improving the ball skills required to be a high level guard.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2252275"],"_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":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnA combo guard with the perimeter wiggle to break down his matchup off the bounce, Bailey is finding his way as a lead guard that can score and facilitate. Bailey is knocking down enough perimeter jumpers to keep the defense honest but continues to value the paint touches that shift defenses and force communication from the defense. His growth defensively as a POA defender is noticeable, cutting off driving lanes to force dribble pick-ups and in some cases-turnovers. Definitely a name to track in the 26 class as he steps into a bigger role at St. Andrew's as a rising junior.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664bdea210ab6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
