Berrouet showed back-to-the-basket power and toughness with the ball in the trenches, posting up with ease and making himself an easy, available target for perimeter teammates.

Fears got the game going when he shot the passing lane for a fastbreak steal, exploding for a dunk over a defender with real intensity. In the open floor he made sure to finish with explosiveness, either above the rim or through contact for and-1 finishes. His leaping ability and body control were also effective on the glass, capable of out-jumping opponents or contorting mid-air to secure hard-flight rebounds in traffic. Fears displayed a jumper from the outside that was smooth, catching and releasing with no hesitation and a fluid motion as the ball swung his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2555910"],"_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-694a9530f0510"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A floor spacer who ran the three-point line with purpose, consistently positioning himself to catch and shoot on the move.
