He is a capable perimeter shooter when playing off the basketball and cannot be left open. Shields also shows good timing as a shot contestor and can make an impact defensively. He has some ability to operate with the ball in his hands, displaying good vision and finding teammates for scoring opportunities. His versatility gives him multiple ways to contribute.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3779628"],"_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-6ab826f936ded"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larry is a herky-jerky in-between guard who finds different ways to impact the game. He does a nice job getting to spots off the bounce and provides a spark as a complementary scoring option. Larry plays with poise and never seems fazed by big moments, showing the ability to read and react to the game on the fly. His feel and ability to create offense from different areas of the floor give him value as a versatile guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3779640"],"_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-6ab826f936e10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watson is a confident three-point shooter who cannot be left open without risking a momentum-swinging shot. He shows good comfort coming off ball screens in the half-court and can use those actions to create scoring opportunities. Watson's shooting ability and comfort operating within the offense should position him to take on a larger role this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3779642"],"_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-6ab826f936e2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is a bruising forward who embraces physicality and has no issues powering his way to the basket. He uses his strength well on the attack and consistently puts pressure on the defense. Johnson also shows the ability to space the floor with his shooting, giving him another avenue to contribute offensively. His versatility allows him to play multiple positions and fulfill different roles while continuing to find ways to impact the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3689578"],"_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-6ab826f936e4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bard does a nice job navigating his way to the rim and consistently finding ways to touch the paint. He can get to different spots on the floor and shows a reliable in-between game when given room to operate. Bard also contributes on the glass, crashing the boards and creating second-chance opportunities for his team. Looking forward to tracking his progress throughout the season as he continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
