22p 2r 1a 1s (4/8 3P) vs VA Havoc
-Velez continues to impress as a scoring guard that can really fill it up from all 3 levels. Velez probably could’ve gotten to 30 points on the night if the game wasn’t blown dead (mercy rule) with a few minutes left, showing an ability to knock down shots both off the dribble or off the ball as a movement shooter that gets into his jumper quickly off the catch. Velez threw a well-placed assist over the top to a rolling big for the AND1 bucket, took a defensive rebound C2C to score off a euro step at the rim, threw down some vicious 1-handed dunks in transition, and is playing with confidence as one of the leaders for a very deep DC Assault rotation.

-First time seeing Velez play and he impressed as a shooter that is really working hard to round out his all-around game to meaningfully contribute to winning. Velez knocked down shots off the catch in transition, used that gravity to probe the defense coming off of side or middle ball screens, used his length around the basket to score off of putbacks, and knocked down shots from all 3 levels. Liked his touch around the rim as he finished with floaters or extension layups high off the glass.
