She's added more layers to her game, and her confidence has taken a huge leap as well. Molly can push the break, shoot the 3 ball, and still be classic and work you in the post. Her transition from classic post player to the new age stretch post has been smooth and rapid. Barrington will be back as one of the top teams, and Molly's role is a important one. u003c/emu003eu003c/h4u003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["335791"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003ch4 style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eu003cemu003eWith the obvious progression over the summer and a huge ranking leap to spot 42, Its's clear Annika has increased her skillset. Already a proven defensive paint presence, going into this year Manthy will be a focal point on the offensive side as well. Her length, mobility and continued work with the skill of putting the ball on the floor... Hersey will be a tough team to score on and defend because of the length of their top talent.  u003c/emu003eu003c/h4u003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["457478"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003ch4 style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eu003cemu003eComing off a state title, and a impressive summer campaign, Arne will definitely be taking the next step this year as one of the top stretches in the area. She can knock the down midrange, lockdown the post, help with purpose on the perimeter while also finishing around the rim with a soft touch. Stevenson's paint presence on both ends is deep. u003c/emu003eu003c/h4u003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["335409"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003ch4 style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eu003cemu003eThe motor, the agility, awareness and body control are key reasons why Klatt is wildly known as a walking double double. She can score around the rim with ease, but it's her high energy on the boards that separate her from a lot of the post players in her area. On both sides, she can clean the glass all night. A true second chance for her team on any given possession. She is as dominant as they come in the post. u003c/emu003eu003c/h4u003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["148165"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003ch4 style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eu003cemu003e Gerdes's is built strong for the post, but the skillset has no position attached. The talent level is high on both ends of the court, and her ability to score in a multitude of ways is always on display. She can stretch the floor and knockdown the 3 ball at a high clip, she cuts and finishes with both hands through or around contact. She's as versatile as they come. u003c/emu003eu003c/h4u003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["334404"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003ch4 style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eu003cemu003eWide range of skills that Winters possesses, and the versatility of her game is present as well. She can impact the game from all type of pick and roll u0026amp; pick and pop actions. She can put the ball on the floor and attack the paint, or go the back to the basket route and score as well. She plays with physicality and strength, and can hold her old against all type of post players. u003c/emu003eu003c/h4u003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["352118"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":534034,"_player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003ch4 style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eu003cemu003eHighly talented, and widely skilled. Fleming has all the tools a post needs to be impactful. Length, athleticism, agility, awareness and the motor to tie it all. Her IQ for the game is high, and she knows when and how to use her length and height. Scoring off cuts, or off the block.. while still showing the energy to be effective on the defensive end. The mentality of this kid is strong too.. this summer I watched a game where she suffered a very apparent jammed finger.. got it pulled out, and continue to play like it was nothing. Things like that speak volumes of a player. u003c/emu003eu003c/h4u003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /-->
