On Sunday afternoon Eggers opened the game with a strong corner three ball and continued to hit from outside as the afternoon went on. The guard is an offensive weapon who can create space with both his speed and ball handling skill making him a go to option at shooting guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3689278"],"_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-6a568628eba5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A key part of The Academy Chicago's offense Skertich runs the point distributing the ball with ease. Skertich has a keen ability to find the open man and get the offense running while also possessing a strong shot of his own to score with ease. His speed also allows him to get to the rim before the defense for easy buckets. On defense Skertich can use his speed to jump passing lanes and grab steals, opening up easy layup opportunities on offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3653122"],"_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-6a569ca02628c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fossum was a force at the point guard position for the Minnesota Jaguars over the weekend. The guard served as an offensive creator with a strong jump shot, knocking down a couple of early three balls. Fossum can get to the rim as well, finding an open lane and beating the defense to the rack while also drawing the foul. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2970783"],"_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-6a569ca026313"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peitz was a standout scoring threat for the Minnesota Jaguars over the weekend. The shooting guard possesses a lethal three-point shot and knocked down triples with ease throughout the weekend. Peitz can be a key contributor in an offense as a go to shooting option with a steady jump shot and strong ball handling skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2861683"],"_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-6a569ca02638e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moe was a noticeable offensive threat for Real Phenom on Sunday afternoon. The guard knocked down a pair of big threes near the end of the first half on Sunday to help Ream Phenom climb back into the game. Moe's size also helps him score closer to the rim with the ability to drive the lane as well. A strong shooter with good size, Moe has some versatility at the guard position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
