He's very smart about playing the passing lane and has another level of speed burst when an opponent floats a pass on the perimeter. Lee forces the offense to throw crisp passes and be sharp at all times. He does a great job not just getting the steal, but being quick to push it the other way with both the pass and the dribble.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1587857"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Calvert has a reputation as a shooter, but his game can be so much more than just that. He has a ton of potential and upside as a 2 way player, the kind of athlete that's tough for a coach to take out of the game. Calvert does a good job keeping a low base and using the strength in his legs. He can play an athletic style of defense that allows him to take chances on defense and usually make good on them.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Avonte Wiggins","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Wyoming","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"B3 Athletics","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Wiggins is another guard from Wyoming that has a ton of defensive upside.

He's a sometimes underestimated overall athlete. Tuinstra's overall strength is a huge asset for him when it comes to defense. Once he establishes a base or position, good luck to a guard trying to move him. Tuinstra has solid lateral movement that allows him to stay with even excellent ballhandlers.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63eec1f21d1a2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
