He doesn't rely on one skill to impact the game. He can initiate offense, play off the ball, defend multiple guard spots, and make timely plays. His ability to stay efficient while expanding his playmaking is key. Returning from injury, looking better than he left is a great thing to see, as I expect him to continue trending upward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2389941"],"_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-6974526c2971b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cash is one of those wings who just looks the part every time he steps on the floor. The frame, the length, the fluidity, it all jumps out. What places him in the Top‑15 is how naturally he consistently impacts the game on both ends. He can guard multiple spots, slide into different roles depending on what his team needs, and still find ways to make winning plays without forcing anything.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2434051"],"_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-6974526c2979a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holman's Top‑15 status is tied to his size, mobility, and aggressive wing skill set. He's one of the more naturally gifted forwards in the class, able to score around the rim, stretch the floor, and defend in space. His long‑term projection is strong because he fits the modern forward mold. Continued growth in efficiency, consistency, and assertiveness will help him rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2774874"],"_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-6974526c29815"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duerr shows his feel, poise, and ability to lead a team. He's a steady, high‑IQ wing who makes the right reads, controls tempo, and competes defensively. That's a big part of why he's already sitting inside the Top‑15. His game translates because he doesn't force the issue. He elevates teammates and keeps offenses churning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
