Hidden Gems Georgia Freshman Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Georgia Freshman Showcase bought all the talent under one roof at Lake point. The Class of 2026 bought the energy on both ends of the court. From half court buzzer beaters to behind the back passes, these young ladies put on a show from start to finish. These players did all the little things to help their teams compete. Here are my Hidden Gems from the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fbc96ead75e","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["476457"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":479669,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Deese is an exciting player to watch. Her ability to take over a game is unmatched. A player that can score from anywhere and guard all 5 positions. She played at a whole different level on Saturday. What impressed me more was she was called upon to bring the ball up the floor, distribute the ball and score for her team. A player that barely came out the game but bought a high motor on offense and defense.  Her length allows her to see the whole floor and score inside/out. A fun player to watch. Excited to see what she can do at the high school level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fbc9d7ad75f","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["476494"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":479671,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Smiley has great size to play both inside and on the perimeter. A high IQ and high motor player that gives you a threat from anywhere on the court. Knows how to get to the rim but can also pull up for the short jumper . She has a quick release and can give her team a bucket at any given moment. A player that uses her length to her advantage as she makes it tough to score over her. A player that gets better every time she touches the floor. A watchlist player.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fbca2aad760","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["476463"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Grant is a player that has the intangibles to dominate in the paint this upcoming season. Knows how to pin point the ball at the highest point on the rebound. Runs the floor well and is looking to post up inside. Her size allows her to post up the smaller defenders and finish at the rim. She also knows how to clog the paint and make it tough for anyone to score inside. Once she gets stronger with the ball, it will be hard to keep her from scoring. She will play a huge role for Eagle's Landing this upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fbca42ad761","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["476511"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":479203,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ferguson was a force inside. Always finding her position on the block. Soft hands at the rim which allows her to finish. A player that uses her size and strength to her advantage. Throughout the games she showed her ability to run rim to rim and create scoring opportunities for her teammates. Solid rebounder on both ends of the floor. She knows how to finish through the contact and has tremendous upside. I look for her to be one the dominant post players in the state this upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fbca88ad762","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["476481"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":479673,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ledford is a shooter that can do it all. A player that plays both ends of the floor but also knows how to take what the defense gives her. Her toughness on the offensive end allows her to get to the basket and score. A player that wont be denied a chance to get her shot off. High IQ guard that sees the floor well and gets her teammates involved. A player whose size is her advantage as she is able to rebound and finish in the paint. A player to watch this upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
