He consistently makes plays that don't always show up in the box score: diving for loose balls, pressuring defenders, and sparking momentum with his effort. His ability to impact the game through toughness and playmaking makes him a reliable presence, and his motor sets the tone for teammates around him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1437332"],"_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-6942c554d46c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell is a smart playmaker who understands spacing, consistently putting teammates in positions to succeed. His feel for the floor allows him to read defenses, create driving lanes, and deliver passes that open up scoring opportunities. With his ability to balance scoring and facilitating, Bell shows maturity in his game and projects as a guard who can run an offense effectively while keeping defenses honest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2223821"],"_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-6942c554d4718"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hicks is a smart guard who thrives on making the right play. He defends with discipline, facilitates the offense, and shows poise in running the break. His ability to push tempo while keeping control highlights his maturity, and his defensive instincts make him a reliable two‑way contributor. Hicks' blend of IQ, toughness, and pace control gives him the tools to grow into a trusted floor leader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2389937"],"_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-6942c554d4768"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aleem is growing into a two‑way, pass‑first point guard who thrives on facilitating and keeping teammates involved. His vision and willingness to distribute stand out offensively, while his defensive effort shows that he can impact both ends of the floor. As he continues to develop confidence in his scoring, Aleem's ability to blend playmaking with two‑way toughness makes him a promising floor leader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
