The 6'0 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the rim. Knight can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He can also play off the ball and slides his feet on the defensive end. Knight is a dynamic guard prospect who should make plays with the ball in his hands this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3764259"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab3200699919"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shi is one of the top post prospects in the class and is looking to put his full game on display this winter. The 6'10 post has a good face-up game as he can get to the rim off the bounce and his range extends out to the three-point line. Shi is also able to find space near the rim in the dunker spot and knows how to finish above the rim. He elevates for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his size to influence shots around the rim. Shi's ability to stretch the floor and protect the paint is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3700793"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab3200699997"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kovacevic is primed to make a big impact in his debut season in the Garden State with his ability to impact the game in a variety of ways. The 6'8 post uses his strong frame to get position in the paint and finishes strong above the rim. Kovacevic can also put the ball on the floor and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He is a solid rebounder and is an underrated rim-protector. Kovacevic is a versatile front court prospect who should put his full game on display this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3685149"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab3200699a0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garang is one of the more intriguing newcomers in the class as he has the potential to play both spots on the wing. The 6'4 wing has a good first step, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. Garang is more than just a slasher as he can also score in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Garang is a lanky wing prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3717531"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab3200699a7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bonitto is primed for a breakout season as he should make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6'5 wing explodes off the floor for dunks and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. Bonitto moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the half court. He uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Bonitto is a talented wing prospect who should impact the game in multiple ways this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
