Dylan Alvidrez

Dylan is proving to be a valuable part of his program. He has a big role as a senior and a distributor and play maker. He tends to be a 3-point shooter, however not afraid to take it to the rim. Defense is where we see great skills from his footwork, help side defense, rebounding, boxing out, and ability to align to push players sideline and baseline. He does tend to get caught standing and on-ball defense he could sit a little lower and be more ready to attack or having to react faster. But it doesn’t seem to be a big part of what makes him a good defense player. It is his ability to shift, rotate, and deny. 

As an offense player he is not shifty, but solid IQ to make the play happen, he shares the ball well, communicates, and prefers to get the open 3 over the drive. This can be hard when he gets to college, as most programs press with running and beat the defense mentality or dribble drive action plays, so it is hard to tell if he can play at that pace. His team seems to play a half-court defense and doesn’t transition to beat defense. It could be an area he will need to grow in with a JV program or if he is getting a better push environment.

Shooting is mainly performed off the catch and shoot, he tends to like the Left Wing. He will dribble left to right for a pull up or dribble drive and kick. He can get buckets at the post spot and is quick off his feet, he does tend to struggle at times with driving through traffic, recommending he work on a mid- pull up jumper to increase points inside if looking to add more points to the game.
