Rodriguez kept working after he gave up the ball, relocating into open areas. He arrived ready to catch and shoot, then used a pump fake when a defender closed aggressively. His recognition of the closeout helped him create an opening without holding the ball through an entire possession. Off-ball movement, shot preparation and patience made him a useful connector for Legacy.

Jordan has been catching some eyes lately and it’s well deserved with his superb play on both ends of the court. He makes great decisions quickly and he’s not intimidated by handsy, physical defenders in the least. He’s an excellent shooter with range that can stretch the floor nicely, but he makes sure his offensive game is multi-faceted with his fakes and explosive, physical drives to the rim. I love his anticipation on defense and his IQ overall; he often knows where the ball is going far before your average defenders and can stack steals for easy buckets on the fast break. He’s a skilled passer and the attention he draws offensively allows him to setup his teammates with high-percentage opportunities consistently.
