Smith's unselfishness is the center of his play style, serving dimes on a platter to open shooters. When Smith wants to score himself, he has no problem bolting past his matchup for easy layups. With a polished mid-range game and proven poise in close games, Smith will be an asset on Montrose's squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2819767"],"_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-690a71c05a64a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2819767' first='Mason' last='Clem'] is a shifty point guard who does a great job shaking his defender and getting to his spot. Clem has an impressive handle that he utilizes to create space for himself. Where Clem thrives is in transition. As soon as he gets a steal, Clem wastes no time accelerating the tempo and getting easy buckets. A hard-working young star, Clem has what it takes to be a lethal force to be reckoned with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2824972"],"_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-690a71c05a754"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2824972' first='Oliver' last='Clarke'] requires loads of defensive attention as he'll make the most of opportunities given to him off the triple threat. Making precision cuts to the basket and seeking the ball like a hawk, Clarke cashes in on close-range looks frequently. The 6'0 guard has a proven jumpshot that makes him that much more of a threat to guard. Good luck to defenses trying to slow him down, even as a freshman. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2385391"],"_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-690a71c05a84d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2385391' first='Devon' last='Carter'] is a guy who I believe will command George Washington's offense in no time. A lethal scorer, Carter can attack defenses in a multitude of ways with the ball in his hands. Whether he's going at the rim or moving around off-ball, there is never a question if Carter is on the job. Already reaching 6'1 going into his freshman year, he could grow and become even more dominant in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2920224"],"_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-690a71c05a949"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2920224' first='Artem' last='Barbarych'] is a dynamic big man who unleashes havoc when driving to the rim. Barbarych ducks his shoulder and absorbs contact well, resulting in multiple trips to the foul stripe. Defensively, Barbarych is disciplined down low and rotates to his spot when needed. The focus is there, and it's only a matter of time until Barbarych develops the rest of his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
