<p>Evan Wagner (Kruse Elite Gold): A talented guard who did not start the game, but when he entered, he made a big and immediate impact on the action. He scored on his first touch on a tough baseline drive to the basket. He was pushing the pace and could go coast to coast for a layup. He has excellent defensive instincts as he jumped passing lanes for steals. He also baited opposing players into passes, which he picked off and started the break.</p>
