He was one of the toughest players on the court, always battling for loose balls and rebounds. McAnally plays with high energy and possesses solid footwork, allowing him to score effectively even in contested situations. His physicality makes defenders uncomfortable, as he consistently initiates contact before creating space for his shot. In addition to his physical game, he can knock down the three point ball in order to keep the defense honest. McAnally is a tough basketball player and one to watch this AAU Season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132750"],"_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-67f6a7b5df9ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dantzler showcased smooth ball-handling skills and a knack for facilitating the offense. He also demonstrated impressive athleticism and playmaking ability in transition. Dantzler is an unselfish player, scoring primarily within the flow of the offense. While effective both on and off the ball, the offense runs smoothest when he's in control. His specialty is creating angles and penetrating the lane, generating easy opportunities for his teammates. Dantzler is a true team player who prioritizes getting everyone involved, but he's also capable of knocking down shots when needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Part three of our "Names to Know" series highlights more players who stood out at the West Monroe event and are worth following throughout the summer. Each of these players is a matchup nightmare, capable of changing the game in an instant.
