He altered shots with verticality, walled up effectively without fouling, and controlled the glass by snatching rebounds at their highest point. Watson's defensive measurables and natural timing give him significant upside as a two-way presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2848340"],"_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":2858894,"_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-681c467ee2b72"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2848340' first='Marvell' last='Scott'] was a high-motor grinder who made game-changing plays all over the floor. Scott's relentless energy showed in his effort plays, diving for 50/50s, sprinting in transition defense, and aggressively battling on the boards. He set hard-nosed screens that created mismatches and forced switches, excelling in ball screen actions and short roll opportunities. He combined physicality with great anticipatory instincts, maximizing his physical tools through smart positioning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2507526"],"_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-681c467ee2bc0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2507526' first='Marcellus' last='Luster'] proved to be a transition weapon who leveraged his functional length and anticipation to generate deflections and breakaway opportunities. Luster excelled in the open floor, using long strides and smooth coordination to finish 1-on-1 at the rim. Defensively, his ability to shoot the gap and intercept passes led to momentum-shifting plays. Offensively, he attacked closeouts and showed slashing instincts once the lane opened.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2824320"],"_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-681c467ee2c06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amari Colbert played tough-nosed perimeter defense, bringing on-ball pressure to every matchup. Colbert consistently crowded space, disrupted rhythm, and denied clean looks off the bounce. He was physical at the point of attack, used active hands, and took away separation for pull-ups by beating ball handlers to their spots and flattening drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2847698"],"_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":2858928,"_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-681c467ee2c57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A catch-and-shoot sniper who punished soft closeouts and late rotations. Mistretta stayed shot-ready, relocating fluidly around the perimeter and understanding gravity-based spacing. His footwork on the catch was clean, and he required very little room to get his shot off, making him a player defenders had to stay glued to in off-ball actions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
