Opponents will try to move her to keep her from getting rebounds, but she holds her ground and fights to get the ball. Knight uses her strength to pull rebounds away from the opponent and she really secures the ball once she grabs it.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["167139"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003e8.3 RPG.u003c/strongu003e White is extremely long, but she also has good strength.

She has really solid players with good size around her, but she still leads Cooper in rebounding and scoring. Lind uses her length to grab rebounds and she does a great job recognizing where the ball is going off of the rim to get to them.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["254273"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e7.9 RPG.u003c/strongu003e Johnson really just uses her IQ and agility to go after rebounds strong. Even when she's not inside of the paint when the shot goes up, she's still able to beat people to the ball. Johnson is not her team's primary big, but she can certainly grab rebounds efficiently all throughout the game and on both ends of the floor.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_8_player_details_player_name":"Savannah Shawver","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_8_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_8_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_8_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_8_player_details_school":"Holy Cross (Louisville)","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_8_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_8_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e7.6 RPG.u003c/strongu003e Shawver really works hard on the boards.
