Great 8: Glue Guys on the Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They might not be at the top of the stat sheet, but their impact on the hardwood allows their team to flourish.

Perez knows how to space the floor and make precise cuts to the basket, as he demonstrated against Regis. At 6'6, Perez attracts defensive attention, giving his teammates more room to work. This was the case in Aidan's great 8 matchup, but expect Perez to make some noise come the final 4. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1887060"],"_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-67cf40ee188f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1887060' first='Drake' last='Bebout'] gives Valor a little bit of everything.

When Royce is having an off-night shooting, he makes sure to establish himself defensively and turns the clamps on. Keep your eyes peeled for Edwards to turn the heat up in the semi-final round of the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
