He consistently maneuvered through traffic to reach the basket, demonstrating his versatility and adaptability. When driving to the basket, his burst of speed allowed him to effortlessly blow past defenders. Despite contested shots in the paint, he managed to finish them effectively. While he excels at scoring downhill, he also demonstrated his shooting capabilities from the perimeter. Throughout the Expo, I was thoroughly impressed with his offensive performance!

Defensively, he plays physically and keeps his hands active during rotations. Offensively, he demonstrated his ability to hit three-pointers, keeping opposing defenders on their toes. On the perimeter, he had several good looks that he capitalized on.

Offensively I liked the way he kept being on the move instead of clogging the paint. Cruz is a team player that involves himself on both ends of the floor. Defensively he showed great effort to protect the rim for his team primarily doing what's necessary to get stops for Team 4 in 5v5 action.     [player_tooltip player_id='2550678' first='Jet' last='Naegele'] frequently used downhill runs to generate offense for his team at the Expo. When creating his offense downhill, he would explosively get past multiple defenders to score. While Jett primarily creates jump shots in the mid-range, he can also score from the perimeter, showcasing his versatility as a scorer. I was particularly impressed with his pace when he had the ball in his hands, as he effectively created separation from defenders to take his shots. Overall, Jett had a great offensive performance at the Expo!
