Has a solid frame on the perimeter with agility and athleticism to attack the basket. Creates space off the dribble when getting to his spots for pull-up jumpers. Effective three-point shooter off the catch. Has played big minutes since early on in his career. Sneakily one of the better players in South Georgia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1861339"],"_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-68bb318d4207c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dazzling passer. Elite pace with the ball. Excels at changing speeds. Strong, zippy passes. Sparks fastbreaks with his outlet passing. Keeps his dribble alive as a probing playmaker. Passes teammates open and elevates those around him. Fierce competitor. Scrappy defender. Shot close to 39% from beyond the arc as a junior. Undersized but elevates well to finish in traffic. The epitome of being the head of the snake.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2369504"],"_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-68bb318d420dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Well-rounded swingman who consistently impacts games on both ends of the floor. He's a high-level rebounder for his position and a dependable shooter from beyond the arc. Bridges thrives in pick-and-roll action and is particularly effective operating in the mid-range, where he scores with touch and confidence. Defensively, his high motor and natural instincts allow him to guard multiple positions, using effort and awareness to protect the rim and contain the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2333096"],"_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-68bb318d42136"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Terrific frame. Strong and athletic forward. Rebounds with two hands. Has blossoming low post moves. Can hit the push floater. Alters shots. All the physical tools are in place. Great size with leaping ability. Can control the paint as a rebounder and shot blocker. Has expanding shooting range, touch out to 15-feet. Does a good job walling up on defense. Starting to become a more consistent scorer in the post. Stock is trending up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2731428"],"_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-68bb318d4218f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natural scorer with a smooth, confident approach. Stretches the floor with three-point shooting despite a low lift on his jumper, and shows creativity when attacking the basket. Underrated physical strength allows him to stay on his line on attacks. Thrives in up tempo, full-court settings and has a reputation for hitting clutch shots. Is a true threat to score 20+ any given night and can do so in the blink of an eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
