His length is a major asset defensively, allowing him to force turnovers by disrupting ball handlers and quickly turning defense into offense. Offensively, he moves the ball well and does a nice job finding open shooters, showing good vision and an unselfish approach. Bryant is also a threat as an off-ball slasher, timing his cuts well to create easy scoring opportunities. On the defensive end, he displays excellent timing when contesting shots, using his length and athleticism to alter attempts around the basket. His combination of athleticism, defensive versatility, and playmaking makes him an impactful two-way prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3712759"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6d64c6a1688"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Safran is a versatile scorer who can put points on the board in a variety of ways. He is a legitimate threat from beyond the arc, and if defenders give him even an inch of space, he has the confidence and shooting ability to make them pay. Safran has a natural scoring instinct and knows how to capitalize on defensive mistakes. The next step in his development will be improving his overall quickness, as gaining a step or two would help him create more separation off the dribble and make him an even tougher matchup on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3712761"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6d64c6a16be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gant is a dynamic offensive threat who excels as an off-ball slasher, consistently finding openings and cutting with purpose to create easy scoring opportunities. He has an impressive array of finishes around the basket and does most of his damage by living in the paint, where his touch and creativity stand out. Gant also flashed the ability to knock down tough mid-range shots, showing confidence when creating his own offense. Defenders can't afford to sag off him on the perimeter either, as he has proven to be a capable three-point shooter who can stretch the floor when given space. His well-rounded scoring arsenal makes him a difficult matchup in any offensive setting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3712797"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6d64c6a16e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Broadway uses his long reach and timing to alter shots on the defensive end, consistently saving points by challenging attempts around the basket. He positions himself well to secure rebounds and does an excellent job cleaning the glass on both ends of the floor. His defensive versatility stands out, as he has the ability to switch across multiple positions and hold his own against different matchups. Offensively, Broadway contributes by finishing easy opportunities below the rim and staying within the flow of the offense. With his combination of length, defensive instincts, and developing offensive game, Broadway has plenty of untapped potential and is a prospect worth continuing to monitor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3712812"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6d64c6a170b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Titzel is a physical force in the paint who thrives below the rim, using his strength and size to establish position and dominate on the interior. He displays good timing as a rim protector, consistently contesting shots and making life difficult for opposing scorers around the basket. His sturdy frame allows him to take up plenty of space inside on both ends of the floor, and he has shown flashes of being an effective scorer with his back to the basket on the block. Titzel also does an excellent job capitalizing on second-chance opportunities, using his persistence on the offensive glass to generate extra points for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
