BDH Stock Riser Showcase: Top Defenders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's often the offensive side of the ball that stands out at these showcases but there were a number of defensive standouts showing they wouldn't make it easy on anyone trying to score the ball. These next few guys stood out for solid, consistent play, and for their ability to make big, highlight plays on the defensive end, showing some solid potential as next-level defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1450500"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Harris is one of the more athletic and longer players that were at the showcase, so it's no surprise he ended up making some really impressive plays on the defensive end. He's able to reach passes and shots to create turnovers and keep points off the board that other players simply cannot get to. On a couple of occasions, he ran back in transition and calmly timed his steps to jump up and send shots back at the rim.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1485677"],"_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":"Marrs wasn't making a ton of highlight plays on the defensive end, but he was one of the top defensive rebounders on the day, finishing defensive possessions and making sure the opposition didn't get any additional second chances inside. He was also effective defending on the blocks and showed good mobility to step up and clog driving lanes.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1450943"],"_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":"Ibarra made quite a few heady defensive plays that had a lot to do with his anticipation and quick hands. He's not the quickest or strongest guard out there but he was reading the floor, anticipating flow, and making a number of plays by slinking off his man to jump passes and even come over for blocks in the paint. These were well-timed plays that put his team in position to get out and run as well.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1798145"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The Reardan forward was in a groove in every regard on Saturday. Defensively, he was blocking shots in transition, blocking shots in the half court, rebounding at a high rate, and generally made offensive players take tough shots in his presence. He's a really quietly explosive player who can get up above the rim in a hurry.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6518f8c174692"} /-->
