He has a versatile scoring package, capable of finishing through contact, hitting mid-range pull-ups, and knocking down shots from beyond the arc. His aggressive mindset allows him to take smaller defenders to the post and overpower them with ease. Defensively, Callahan brings intensity and toughness, often taking on the challenge of guarding the opposing team's top perimeter threat.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2567940"],"_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-680ae02eccb8e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vlajic is a rangy big with a smooth European style of play that makes him a tough cover. He has the ability to stretch the floor with his shooting, heating up quickly from deep when given space. Around the rim, he shows touch and footwork, consistently finishing in traffic or off pick-and-roll actions. His versatility on offense allows him to operate both inside and out, creating mismatches against slower bigs and smaller defenders alike.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2234403"],"_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-680ae02eccbd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fernandez is a high-IQ guard who plays with poise and a strong understanding of the game. He can score at all three levels, using a crafty handle and sharp decision-making to create his own shot. Just as effective as a playmaker, he consistently finds open teammates and makes the right reads in both transition and half-court sets. Fernandez's ability to control the tempo and impact the game as both a scorer and facilitator makes him a valuable floor general.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2234125"],"_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-680ae02eccc15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Diaz is a dynamic three-level scoring guard who consistently finds ways to impact the game offensively. He gets to the rim with power and precision, using his quick first step and body control. Whether attacking off the bounce or pulling up in rhythm, he finds his scoring spots with ease. Diaz also has a natural feel for the game, making timely plays for himself and others.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2027754"],"_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-680ae02eccc53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Origou is a physical big who makes his presence felt on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he anchors the paint with his shot-blocking instincts and timing. Offensively, he finishes well around the rim and creates second-chance opportunities with his rebounding. His energy and interior presence make him a valuable asset in any lineup.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
