Averaging 13.7 points with 17.3 rebounds per game, teams are quickly realizing they have to gameplan for senior center. Muhammad attacks the painted area and has perfected the ability to seal her defender to put herself in prime position to grab a rebound or create a passing lane. Her ability to catch with soft hands and use the glass makes her a consistent and efficient target for her teammates. Another strength of Muhammad's is her ability to run the floor to establish position both offensively and defensively. Pair that with her length and she is also blocking over 2 shots per game. Muhammad is announcing herself to the metro and it won't be long before college scouts beging to take notice.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15474138/605407df15ffd013d0d1045c'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15474138/605407df15ffd013d0d1045cu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='766608' first='Alexa' last='Eddie']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Elkhorn South High School","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://mobile.x.com/alexa_eddieu0022u003ehttps://mobile.x.com/alexa_eddieu003c/au003ernrnSpeaking of making her presence know, Eddie has been spectacular for the Storm to date. In the last two weeks, Eddie has two double-doubles and is averaging 11.6 points with 7 rebounds per game on the year. She has demonstrated great anticipation on how she plays the ball off the rim and immediately dribble the ball out or make an outlet pass to get down court.
