Fernandez is also a threat from beyond the arc, where he can stretch defenses with his shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2407052"],"_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-67167e777b408"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Merrick is a dynamic three-level scorer who thrives in both half-court and transition settings, displaying great pacing and control. His length and versatility on defense allow him to guard multiple positions effectively, making him a valuable asset on both ends of the floor. Offensively, Merrick's ability to create and score from anywhere on the court keeps defenders on edge. Marist has expressed heavy interest in Merrick, recognizing his all-around game and potential at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading"></h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2325740"],"_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-67167e777b45b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pettway is a speedy guard who recently received an offer from Le Moyne, highlighting his rising profile in the recruiting world. Known for his quickness, he excels at getting up and down the floor, making him a dangerous asset in transition. Pettway combines his speed with a deep shooting range, stretching defenses and keeping defenders off balance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
