Sload has extended range and isn't afraid to pull up from the neighboring county. I like the way he can impact the game in other ways by rebounding, being in passing lanes. Sload has a decent vision of the floor and connects with others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3424457"],"_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-69f9f5c760551"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fitzgerald impresses with his versatility making his presence felt on the defensive end. He is able to guard different positions and extensively covers ground with his reach. He has good timing going up to contest shots. He can provide a spark as a secondary scorer. Fitzgerald impressed with his ability to run the floor in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2427311"],"_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-69f9f5c76058a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zalewski thrives scoring the basketball in different ways. Like the way he shows he can be a capable shot-maker from deep if he is left open. He is always in good spots to shag rebounds. Like his sneaky athleticism and shows that he can play above the rim. He finds ways to alter shots with his length. Zalewski has battled a few injuries over his career so it's good that he is back on the court playing again. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3627502"],"_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-69f9f5c7605c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He is in good spots on the floor to come up with 2nd chance scoring efforts. Like how he takes advantage of space the defense gives him and can score with his in-between game. I would like to see him improve on his foot speed. Mailliard is effective screening off the basketball. Want to see him work on add muscle to his frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3627541"],"_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-69f9f5c7605f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fistner leaves his mark on the game from behind the arc. He connects on a ton of shots from behind the arc and he cannot be left open if he is hunting shots on the perimeter. He shoots a clean ball and like his shot mechanics. Fistner finds ways to use his in-between game. Like how he is able to fill the lane in transition. Fistner is an effective straight line driver when going downhill. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
