On the defensive end, Maack slides his feet quickly and always keeps his hands up. At 6'0, Maack accelerates quickly and moves around off the ball often to get the looks he wants. The Montana star is just getting started. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2414505"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2844529,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68069a69509e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2414505' first='Cy' last='Lowery'] is a versatile hooper who can play any position on the floor. The 6'5 star can get hot from behind the arc as well as dominate the post. Lowery's confidence is what sets him apart from the competition, as he's never afraid to let it fly. On defense, Lowery sends shots to the bleachers and times his blocks well. With great ball-handling skills at his height, Lowery's potential is through the roof. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398189"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2844533,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68069a6950a7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2398189' first='Jaimeson' last='Peterson'] is State 38's leading scorer and facilitator. Peterson provides coaches with the right balance of distributing the rock while attacking the rim to score. At 6'1, Jaimeson already has an advantage over most guards, but his quick first step to blow by defenders and create space for himself separates him from other guards. A communicator with bursts of energy, Peterson is relentless game in and game out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2416754"],"_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-68069a6950af5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2416754' first='Taz' last='Carlson'] is a well-rounded big that Tru Colorado needs. Carlson does a great job of establishing himself in the post and using his footwork to come away with easy buckets. A solid rebounder, Carlson hustles on both ends of the floor to secure as many boards as possible. At 6'7 and still growing, it's scary how good Carlson could get, especially with a consistent jumpshot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2138441"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2844551,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68069a6950b86"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2138441' first='Mateo' last='Valencia'] can fry defenses and swing the rock around quickly for constant scoring. Valencia impacts the game in a multitude of ways, but defense is where he shines brightest, always being in the middle of passing lanes and reading defenses exceptionally well. With a crafty arsenal of tricks on offense, Valencia should be the primary concern for opponents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
