The 5'6 guard has impressive footwork and acceleration, allowing him to facilitate and make unselfish plays. When guarding the perimeter, Hite does a great job of sticking to his matchup and keeping his reach wide for steals. In transition, Hite is effective at finding the open shooter and making the offense flow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2394623"],"_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-68cf20ccdb0f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2394623' first='Zayd' last='Jimenez'] is a proven 3-level scoring threat who can capitalize on tough looks off the dribble. Expanding his game from beyond the arc, Jimenez oozes confidence and isn't afraid to let it fly when allotted the space on offense. Where Jimenez thrives is around the mid-range area, as he's able to kick to open shooters or find his groove around the free throw line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2824776"],"_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-68cf20ccdb143"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2824776' first='Kai' last='Jordan'] utilizes his 6'0 frame and precise footwork to score at will in the interior.

On both sides of the ball, Jordan prioritizes rebounding and hustle, getting to the ball at all costs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2399042"],"_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-68cf20ccdb189"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2399042' first='Kush' last='Kirkendall'] makes an impact in the game in numerous ways.

Featuring a tenacious approach on offense, Kirya can slash to the rim or make key shots in the clutch. As Kirya's jumpshot has proven to be consistent, defenses are centering their game plan around Kirya's firepower. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
