He showed nice touch around the basket, scoring through contact and getting to the foul line. He plays with an assertive motor and also proved to be a capable shooter from beyond the arc. Moore was active on the glass, collecting rebounds on both ends, and also found ways to come up with steals on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2950685"],"_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-69b8b4ab11258"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conner excelled on the glass and was a magnet for rebounds on both ends of the floor. He did a nice job running the floor in transition and showed great timing when going up to alter shots. He was also able to convert his opportunities at the foul line and displayed good defensive instincts by jumping into passing lanes for steals. Finished with 10 points and scored inside. Conner has some untapped potential, and his best basketball appears to still be ahead of him.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3195061"],"_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-69b8b4ab112cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He finished with 12 points and did a nice job touching the paint when attacking the basket. He also showed the ability to step out and space the floor, giving his team another scoring option. In addition, he converted opportunities at the charity stripe, helping add to his offensive production. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406953"],"_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-69b8b7b198189"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James impacted the game in a variety of ways. He did a nice job scoring on the attack and finishing around the basket on the interior, leading his team with 18 points. While he did connect on a three-pointer, he still seems a bit conservative from deep and could benefit from being more aggressive from beyond the arc. James was in good spots on the floor to rebound. I also liked how he found teammates for scoring opportunities and kept the ball moving instead of letting it stick in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2412621"],"_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-69b8b7b1981d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He provided a spark in a reserve role, scoring nine points, including five in the fourth quarter, and made the most of his opportunities at the foul line. He did a nice job touching the paint on the attack and putting pressure on the defense. He did leave a few points on the board, and improving his ability to finish in traffic and around crowds would help his production. Defensively, he was able to turn defense into offense by jumping into passing and driving lanes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
