He's a high-level competitor who rises up to meet big moments, and showed off some microwave scoring ability, both inside and out. He is undersized but he possesses a lot of the characteristics that help smaller guards succeed; he's a scrappy defender, will knock down open threes, and has enough burst and craft to put pressure on the interior of the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3569867"],"_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-6a0f8daf0ac5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The athletic guard from Lewis and Clark made a pretty quick impression when I got to see him late in the winter season. He's a quick, athletic guard who can separate with the rock and showed the instincts to make some plays on the defensive end. He really emerged as a solid 3-point shooter too, and had a handful of big games from deep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3585242"],"_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-6a0f8daf0ac80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Garfield guard is an intriguing player with some easy bounce who had some good moments for the Bulldogs this past winter. This spring, he's looked even more aggressive using his ability to elevate to attack the rim, and has balanced that out with some outside shooting. He can really float when he's up there and has shown he can readjust midair to maneuver around contests. He's a hustler too, and has been a worker for long rebounds and loose balls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3584520"],"_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-6a0f8daf0aca0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dietzen is a pretty tough guard from Mt. Spokane who got some decent minutes in spots last season, and really showcased his immediate energy off the bench. He has a pretty good stroke, and plays with some enthusiasm in his activity. He works hard defensively, plays on balance and confident with the ball, and takes what is there. He should see a bigger role next season and be a key player for the Wildcats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2935621"],"_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-6a0f8daf0acbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collier is a legit threat from 3-point range, and played a key role in Seattle Christian earning a top-8 seed at the 1A state tournament. He's continued to show off some impressive shooting this spring, but has also rounded out his game with some added rebounding and smart play on both ends. He did a great job attacking closeouts with quick reads this past weekend while averaging 7.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.0 steals at the EYCL Session 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
