Grabbing offensive boards and laying the ball back in for points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2414273"],"_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-665bcf038ff8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harvey's standout performance on Friday night was using his speed and agility to finish at the rim despite his size disadvantage. Finishing off a layup by driving the paint and spinning around a defender to get to the basket. Harvey's shot is impressive as well, nailing threes from beyond the arc as the Black Hills Express' standout player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
