<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2554893' first='James' last='McCall-Spears'] showed both power and finesse on the block, using his strength to back defenders underneath the basket before relying on polished footwork, pivots, and step-throughs to finish through traffic. Spears also proved to be a dangerous weapon in pick-and-roll and dribble handoff actions, showing the versatility to impact the offense in a variety of ways. Defensively, he was a dynamic rim protector with disciplined positioning, active hands, and excellent timing to rebound or block shots, even displaying the motor to erase layups with chase-down blocks in recovery.</p>

Schroeder displayed exceptional touch while maintaining outstanding balance, body control, and poise through traffic. Schroeder played with a polished in-between game that consistently punished rotating defenders.</p>
