He scores effortlessly within the flow of the game, often finding open looks in transition from three-point range or at the rim, as he's frequently the first player down the floor. He has a nice stroke, especially when hopping into his shot off two feet from beyond the arc. Defensively, Rathan-Mayes excels at shrinking the floor, whether he's on the ball or denying it, effectively shutting off driving lanes and directions in a single possession. He is an excellent glue guy who is willing to contribute significantly on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2459488"],"_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-66684dfbde763"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top shooters in the class, [player_tooltip player_id='2459488' first='Jesiah' last='Williams'] displays a highly efficient and fluid jump shot, often shooting without any dip, which allows him to release the ball almost immediately upon catching it.

Williams excels as an off-ball mover, creating space and finding open shots through sharp backdoor cuts when defenders overplay him, his impeccable timing and anticipation are keys to his offensive success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453704"],"_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-66684dfbde7cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2453704' first='Yohan' last='Gutierrez'], standing at 6'7”, brings a consistent two-way impact to the game, challenging shots at the rim and competing for rebounds at a high rate.

Inman can stop on a dime and elevate for a quick jump shot, making him difficult to defend in transition. He has a lightning-quick trigger and a high-arching release, effectively stretching the defense and opening up the floor for his teammates. Inman also does an excellent job of spotting mismatches and finding open spaces in the defense, always prepared to flash to the ball, cut, or rotate around the perimeter for the swing pass, showing his spacing and intelligence off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225439"],"_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-66684dfbde884"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1225439' first='Cash' last='Gardner'] is an effective playmaker and scorer, excelling both on and off the ball with the facilitating and shooting skills to impact the game at either guard position.
