Has a matured game for age. Showed strong defensive instincts challenging shots, helping the helper, and forcing challenging shots in the paint. One of the best rim runners I saw today utilizing his length effectively. Finished on breakaways and followed up for second chance opportunities. Spaces well then re-engages in the play. Made an explosive one handed dunk on a defender going baseline. Overall possessed good feel within rhythm of game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2784901"],"_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-68bc9646e877b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Has a versatile game. Used size effectively to disrupt smaller guards with lateral quickness. Picked off passes and blocked shots turning them into assists. Confident handling it off of d boards to search for transition opportunities. Made a sweet spin move attacking 1v1 and then converting the layup over defender. Made another tough And1 floater off the bounce in traffic. Will finish through contact. Screens and utilizes awareness to reset offense when necessary. Brings value in a variety of ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2846616"],"_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":2959250,"_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-68bc9646e87da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another established wing at matured length for age. Made smart positioning movements throughout the day. Rotated well defensively to contest shots and showed grit fighting over ball screens to stay in front of handler. Moves actively off the ball making cuts after passes. Made a jab step to get downhill to finish and swished a soft touch jumper from mid-range. Screened for teammates and consistently boarded. Blends physicality with poised situational awareness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2946314"],"_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":2959258,"_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-68bc9646e882b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stockier guard that contributed with smart passing and solid fundamentals. Made swing passes for assists on the arc and showed comfort initiating offense in short stretches. Boarded and outletted quickly for primary break opportunities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2906817"],"_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":2959265,"_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-68bc9646e8879"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The biggest impactful skill Kaidan made throughout the day is his pace he plays with for matured size. Offensively his strong suite was attacking off the bounce to finish in the lane, showing instinctual ability to initiate transition offense, and showing good vision on drive and kick opportunities. Defensively provided steals which converted into simple offense. Used his length to pressure the ball and disrupt rhythm on the perimeter. His defensive effort and playmaking abilities will put team in position to win games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
