She does a lot of things for this team. She can score from all levels. She is an excellent shooter with some serious range that extends more toward the NBA three-point line. She is well-rounded and plays with effort on defense and she goes and gets rebounds. She gets a lot of steals from reading the passing lanes and reacting. She has the height to post up smaller guards. Look out if she gets hot.

She is hands down the best shooter in the state. Prove me wrong. She has a skill set that features some of the best moves and footwork I have seen this season. There is nothing that she can't do at an elite level from the point guard position. She plays defense and is intense. She has a killer instinct that you cannot teach. She has yet to play much more than 3 quarters in a game if that. She still managed to drop a school record 35 points in her 2nd high school game. She will break her record. Only a freshman, who knows how many times. Elite-level guard skills!","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["154469"],"_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":"She is a lightning-quick point guard who scores, distributes, and is a leader for a talented team with a lot of weapons. [player_tooltip player_id='154470' first='Alina' last='Sapilak'] is one of those weapons that get open looks from Carter and knocks them down, including a 20-point game in a win over Puyallup. Carter has a crafty side to her game and uses some nice moves to get to the basket and score. She is also a threat from deep, and her quickness makes her tough to stop.

She can get to the bucket but might be a better shooter. I like her shooting skills. She gets her shot off in a hurry because of her great form which is compact and ready to go when she gets it. She can do more than just shoot, she is creative in the lane and gets some impressive shots to go down.

She is an all-level, do-it guard who is stronger and more athletic than her opponents, on almost any night. She will get into the lane and score. She will shoot from anywhere. She has a strong mid-range game. She has great handles. She checks all the boxes, with her size and athletic ability. A true candidate for 1A player of the year.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Patience Grey ","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Mount Spokane ","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"You want a post player to go with the guards I have mentioned, here is a 6'4 center that is force on both ends of the floor.
