<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team 3 is loaded with talent, and several of their players stand out as both top scorers and elite defenders. They bring a balanced attack on offense, with guys who can consistently put the ball in the basket from all areas of the floor, while also locking in on the defensive end to make life tough for their opponents. Their ability to score efficiently and then turn around and guard at a high level makes them one of the most dangerous and well-rounded groups on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2917497"],"_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-68c833cbaaf11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Junior is an elite defender who takes pride in locking down his matchup every possession. He's physical, never shying away from contact, and his active hands make it tough for opponents to get comfortable with the ball. What makes him even more dangerous is that he's not just a defensive stopper—he can space the floor and knock down the three at a high level, keeping defenses honest and making him a true two-way threat on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2896263"],"_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-68c833cbaaf7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Connor is the kind of teammate every player wants to have on their side. He's unselfish, always looking to make the right play, and he brings positive energy that lifts everyone around him. Whether it's encouraging his teammates, putting in extra effort during practice, or doing the little things that don't always show up on the stat sheet, Connor consistently shows that winning as a team matters more to him than individual success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2920758"],"_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-68c833cbaafde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zachary is a strong driver who knows how to attack the lane with confidence and control. He uses his quick first step to get past defenders and finishes well through contact. At the showcase, he proved he can score when his team needs it, showing poise around the basket and the ability to create opportunities off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2874051"],"_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-68c833cbab041"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Demario is a tough defender who takes pride in shutting down his assignment. He stays locked in when guarding the ball, moving his feet and using his strength to make every possession difficult. He's also smart in the passing lanes, anticipating plays and creating turnovers that lead to easy opportunities for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382452"],"_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-68c833cbab096"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jovan is a pure shooter with the ability to stretch the floor and change the momentum of a game in an instant. He has a smooth release and the confidence to knock down shots from deep, forcing defenses to adjust whenever he's on the court. His shooting opens up the offense for his teammates, making him a constant threat and a valuable weapon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
