He has size and mobility and showed a little bit of everything out at the Tarkanian. He was rebounding and taking off, he doesn't have to wait for a smaller guard he can get that break going all by himself. The thing that really makes him a gem is that he can step outside and shoot the ball. He is only going to improve that outside shot in time.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65861263b23ae"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1960136"],"_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":"Juan Diego has been able to develop a lot of talent over the years.
