Johnson made an impact in the lane to getting to the rim and scoring on multiple occasions. On the glass the shooting guard got up and grabbed his fair share of boards and turned them into scoring opportunities.

Later on Sadak was able to knock down a nifty 15 footer with a spin move to create space for the shot.

The point guard put his scoring ability on full display with a couple of strong three point makes followed by a nice jumper inside the arc. McGrath is a shifty guard with good hands who can create space and scoring opportunities for himself. The point guard is a true scoring threat from both outside and the mid-range that teams need to account for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2874774"],"_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-6a1dd9934e0d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bain was an impact shooter for [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 3SSB on Sunday afternoon.
