Coming off the bench, he provided a spark by finding scoring opportunities while also taking care of the ball as a handler. Banks also made his presence felt on the defensive end, applying strong ball pressure and making opponents uncomfortable.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2973250"],"_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-69dfeedaee135"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2973250' first='Braylon' last='Burnett'] is a hard-nosed guard who can dart into the paint thanks to his burst. From there, he's able to connect on jumpers or dish it to a shooter in the corner. Burnett is also a threat to get all the way to the cup, and is selective with his shots. On the other end, he's able to pester opponents with his quickness and energy. Overall, he's a hardworking player who consistently plays to his strengths.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2517145"],"_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-69dfeedaee17f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kai Pomerpointer is a versatile guard who impacts the game on both ends. Defensively, he uses his anticipation and instincts to generate steals and deflections. And can then turn those into transition opportunities by pushing the ball himself or advancing it ahead. On the offensive end, he looks for open driving lanes, but is just as capable of hunting shots from the perimeter when they're not there.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2888804"],"_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-69dfeedaee1c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christian Gonzalez is as quick as a hiccup. He's able to pick up speed and burn defenders, especially when he catches them on their heels. He attacks with purpose and can weave through traffic thanks to his agility. Another valuable trait is his vertical. He skies for rebounds and uses it to disrupt passing lanes as well.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2888789"],"_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-69dfeedaee20b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2888789' first='Evan' last='Lester'] can cook defenders thanks to his tight handles and acceleration. He's fairly creative with the rock and keeps his eyes up, allowing him to find the rim even when he's amongst the trees. Lester can also bury threes, and his athleticism shows on the defensive end, where he's able to move well and make plays.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
