He needs little to no space to get his shot off. He runs the offense well looking to use pick-n-rolls to get his teammates open. His ability to score the basketball in general is excellent pairing with his playmaking ability. Nayar has tight and shifty handles which gives him opportunities to get by multiple defenders in one possession.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1788762"],"_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":"Spross is a tall point guard standing at 6'2u0022 giving him the height advantage over most players he goes up against. He is shifty with the basketball in his hands as he uses his handles to get anywhere he wants to on the court. He likes to break down defenders in one-on-one situations and has a quick burst off the dribble when looking to attack the rim. If Spross is left open from behind the arc he will make you pay with his smooth and quick release.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1859564"],"_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":"Younger is a defensive stopper who looks to come up with many steals and deflections throughout a game and will cause havoc when playing on-ball defense. He is quick when moving laterally making it tough for ball handlers to get around him. He has a nice midrange game he uses to his advantage when on offense as he can hit some tough jumpers from that area. Younger can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim due to his speed and quickness.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1859570"],"_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":"Marlin is a terrific shooter from deep and looks to use his 6'1u0022 size to shoot over smaller defenders closing out on him. He can hit any shot from behind the arc. His range extends the more three-pointers he makes throughout a game. He can put the ball on the floor and look to attack the rim whenever he sees an opening. On defense, he can be a pest as he looks to press more often than not to come up with deflections for his team.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2107994"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Berman can do a little bit of everything on the court as the point guard for his team.  His best skill however is his defense. He is a master at pickpocketing players and looks to play aggressive defense all the time to force those turnovers. He can rebound well for size and likes to score from inside the midrange and painted area. Berman runs the offense well and can use his handles to get by multiple defenders in one setting.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a089d92ea6a"} /-->
