Benjamin excels at getting to his spots along the perimeter, knocking down pull-up jumper from the mid-range and three-point line. When he gets into traffic he can score with his floater. Benjamin plays bigger than his size. He has poise with the ball when facing pressure and does the little things well like rebounding from his guard position. Expect a breakout season after averaging 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists as a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1859867"],"_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-6807aebc9ab02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amari is starting to put it all together. Physically, he has great tools to work with. Standing 6-foot-1, Smallwood has a 6-foot-7 wingspan. Amari's length and athleticism give him serious upside on defense as a disruptive defender who can guard inside and out. Amari is a blossoming playmaker, able to attack off the dribble to find open teammates. He can knock down the open three and is effective as a slasher. With his two-way skill Amari should have an impactful final two seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2845063"],"_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-6807aebc9ab63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The lefty can get hot in a hurry. He works well away from the ball, coming off screens to curl into catch-and-shoot jumpers. Moreno is lanky but doesn't get pushed around when trying to get to his spots. His shot making ability should earn him substantial minutes moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2845059"],"_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-6807aebc9abba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCollough is a microwave scorer that finds his offense from beyond the arc. He is fearless with his green light, ready to pull the trigger instantly off the bench. With his outside shooting, he is the type of player that can swing momentum in a blink.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2845067"],"_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-6807aebc9ac0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trumane has interesting upside. At around 6-foot-3, Watkins is a tall lead guard. He has the versatility to play 1-3, but he is a good decision maker with the ball and is active on both ends. Watkins is capable of filling up the box score. His defense can help set the tone, a long-armed defender that moves well laterally. Trumane is a steady outside shooter with three-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
