He is a smart player who is always looking to get his teammates involved, but can also be an effective scorer for Bonita. He has a nice outside jumper and is efficient when attacking the basket. Heim does a great job on defense staying in front of his man, and is also a great rebounder from the guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3794991"],"_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-6ad255bca8749"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The sharpshooting guard for ECS, St. John, should see an increased workload, and look for him to take advantage of that opportunity. He has great handles and has the ability to create his own shot, but is also very effective as a spot up shooter. St. John has unlimited range and is very effective from behind the arc. The 5'9" CG has both quick feet and quick hands and can be a real pest on defense with his ability to force steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3794992"],"_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-6ad255bca878f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arias is the type of player who can do a little bit of everything for his team. He is a team first guy who just wants to win, and a prospect who never takes a play off. The 6'0" CG has the ability to guard multiple positions on defense, and also rebounds the ball very well from the guard spot. He has a solid handles, and always has his eyes up looking for the open man. Arias can score both inside and out, but is most effective when attacking the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3794993"],"_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-6ad255bca87d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Manetta is hardworking prospect who is willing to do whatever the team needs. He is an excellent rebounder on both ends of the floor, and defensively he can guard just about anyone on the court. He is a long, athletic player who does a great job keeping his hands up in the passing lanes and forcing turnovers. Manetta is very effective around the hoop, where he has the ability to finish with either hand. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3794994"],"_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-6ad255bca880f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A quick and shifty guard, Millian, is an excellent defender who prides himself on that side of the ball. He has both quick feet and quick hands, and does an excellent job forcing steals and turning defense into offense. The 5'8" CG handles the ball very well and is an excellent passer. He attacks the basket with no fear, and if left open he can really hurt you from behind the arc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
