Lloyd has a combination skillset of scoring off the bounce and off the catch. He brings a smooth presence where he can score at the front of the rim as well as from beyond the arc. On the defensive end, Lloyd is very active in the passing lanes where he shows great energy and is quick to get steals to turn defense into offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1301736"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":2298498,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The 6-6 junior wing is a grab-and-go rebounder who can push the ball up the floor in transition without hesitation. Wimbley is an athletic wing who rebounds exceptionally well and is quick to get the basketball in transition. Wimbley has also continued to expand his range on the offensive end and has now become a viable threat from beyond the arc.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1660032"],"_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":"The 6-8 sophomore wing has a very smooth game for his size whether he's finishing around the rim or occasionally shooting from the mid-range. Constanza has gained more confidence in shooting from beyond the arc where he shoots at a respectable percentage. He also does a great job when it comes to finishing around the rim through traffic. On the defensive side, he is a strong rebounder where he can use his athleticism and length against bigger opponents.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1296002"],"_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":"Police has been a consistent source of production on the offensive end, as he is starting to gain more confidence. He is becoming a viable scoring threat across all three levels and is a high-level rebounder on both ends of the floor. Police can finish put-backs as well as lobs at the front of the rim at a very high level. He is also a capable ball-handler with a strong IQ and has great decision-making skills on whether to shoot or pass the ball. His aggression on the defensive end where he can guard multiple positions has also taken huge strides as his versatility can make him a legit college prospect.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2306284' first='Ethan' last='Bertrand']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Westminster Academy","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The 6-3 junior guard can find himself playing a primary point guard role or out on the wings where he can create a lot of versatility on the offensive end. He takes open shots and making deep strides to continue to expand his threat to shoot from beyond the arc. On the defensive end, Bertrand rebounds exceptionally well for his size and is able to push the tempo and doesn't force many mistakes. Look for Bertrand to play big minutes and help get his teammates involved as he plays with a strong knack of unselfishness.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657c81a4bfaad"} /-->
