He rebounds well and has no problem grabbing it and starting the break himself, pushing the tempo with confidence. He makes good reads on the fly, finding teammates for quality scoring chances, and keeps the ball moving without letting it stick. His ability to see plays develop ahead of time allows him to anticipate opportunities and bring them to fruition from a distance.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3526266"],"_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-69a0a504252ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He shows good timing when altering shots, using his instincts and length to disrupt attempts around the rim. He consistently makes hustle plays that swing momentum and does the little things that help teams win. As an effective glue guy, he keeps the group connected with his energy and unselfish play. When he runs the floor, he moves like a deer, covering ground effortlessly and creating opportunities in transition.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3526479"],"_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-69a0a50425301"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's a bully-ball forward who thrives when he seeks out contact on the attack, embracing physicality to finish through defenders. He also has the ability to space the floor from beyond the arc, and when his feet are set, there's a high chance he's connecting from deep. He's shown flashes as a playmaker, finding teammates for quality scoring chances when the defense collapses. On the defensive end, he's active and opportunistic, coming up with steals that help ignite transition offense.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3433167"],"_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-69a0a50425353"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's a fundamentally sound guard who scores by getting to different spots on the floor, thriving in the in-between game with poise and balance. He shoots a clean ball with a picturesque release, making him a consistent perimeter threat. Beyond his scoring, he has no issues creating for others, finding teammates in rhythm for quality looks. Defensively, he positions himself well to gather steals and quickly turns those takeaways into offensive opportunities.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3526703"],"_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-69a0a504253a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's active in the passing lanes, gathering steals and quickly turning defense into offense. He has the ability to play above the rim, adding an explosive element to his game in transition and around the basket. Beyond his scoring ability, he shows a willingness to find teammates for quality looks, making the extra pass when needed. He consistently puts himself in good spots on the floor to make plays on both ends, impacting the game in a variety of ways.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
