He'll look to continue his solid play at the Moneyball Shootout. Clark is a quick and explosive finisher that can find lanes to the rim.

I think he's severly underrated. Tropea has a tremendous game between the ears, making smart decisions with the ball basically at all times. He's an efficient handler that doesn't waste dribbles. Tropea has been shooting lights out from behind the arc with InspireU 2025 and has been the primary facilitator as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1890559"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"It feels like Turner is ready for that breakout game for the Stampede.
