Once he has space he uses a clean and confident jumper to knock down big shots from beyond the arc for [program_tooltip program_id='2075247' first='Legacy' last='Hoops']. The point guard also showed he can run the play and distribute the ball with ease as well. Dyrud isn't afraid to go down low and grab rebounds either when the opportunity presents itself. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2842381"],"_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-69f0fb2db79c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kuchenbecker presented a noticeable three-point shot for the [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'], nailing the three-ball with a strong jumpshot on Saturday afternoon.
