The Expo: Hardwood Einsteins

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's always refreshing to see student athletes on the floor with an advanced understanding of the game. It shows that they've put in work in several areas and that they care about being one of the best. The players below demonstrated impressive IQ at The Expo on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3789459"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3792645,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6ace5c938d091"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matt is a strong, quick guard that makes crucial plays and decisions all over the floor to get his team closer to victory. I love the patience he displays, letting plays develop and finding his cutters in prime position for easy layups at the hoop. He has strong hands defensively and can snatch the ball in an instant from lazy ballhandlers. His vision is incredible and he never seems to make bad calls when it comes to what he should do next. He can rack up points on the fast break himself, and his dishes off the dribble are laser-like and accurate. He's not afraid to clean the glass against bigger opponents. I love the textbook way he boxes out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3676037"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3792646,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6ace5c938d0fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooper's a confident, versatile player that hustles non-stop on both ends of the court. He's gritty defensively and never hesitates to get physical and wrangle the ball away for extra possessions. He's a nice shooter with range that extends beyond the three-point line and he's effective at finishing through contact in the paint. He moves incredibly well without the ball and knows how to get to spots that will give him easy opportunities to score or make a pass to add to his assist count. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2558970"],"_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-6ace5c938d146"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cameron is an incredibly speedy, smart guard that I noticed right off the bat in the warmup 3-on-3 games. He's fearless on the floor on both ends and not only was he the fastest player I saw on the day, but also one of the most intelligent. He constantly got his teammates involved with easy looks and dazzling passes to go along with filling up the scoresheet himself. He's got a buttery jumper with nice range and he's elite on the finish on the fast break. He's a physical defender that makes good decisions, creates turnovers for the opposition, and doesn't get into foul trouble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2859116"],"_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-6ace624aa2e58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dylan is a clever, adaptable player that displays fantastic footwork and a nonstop drive for winning. He consistently follows his shot and racks up extra possessions on the offensive glass. He's a great finisher at the rim on his drives and has a nice ability to dish off the dribble to wide open teammates when he's attracting significant attention. He's a solid shooter and he can knock down the three ball as well as doing some damage from mid-range. I love his vision and anticipation for what's going to happen next so he can take a quick advantage for his squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2763258"],"_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-6ace624aa2eaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sean is a lengthy, bright guard that never shies from physicality and makes great decisions on both sides of the ball. He's excellent at finishing through contact and using his length paired with the glass for high-percentage buckets. He has some significant speed that comes in handy on both ends and he rarely ever takes a bad shot. His first step is quick off the dribble and his ballhandling skills help him get around tough defenders regularly. His jumper is smooth and he can knock down the three. He's a workhorse on defense, consistently creating chaos that leads to turnovers and fast breaks for his team. His passing off the dribble on the fast break is elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
