Ybarra shows blazing speed and elite ballhandling/passing on fastbreaks. Jayden displayed that he can be counted on to score in the clutch when his team needs a bucket and he functions as a dual threat playmaker/scorer. I like his ability to lead on both sides of the ball vocally and always gives it 110% on every possession, no matter if he has the ball or not.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2863412"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3642521,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a0b629a495b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2863412' first='Kase' last='Buth'] was a lights out shooter for TWE in their upset win over the HD Toros 2028 on Saturday.
