She is a D2 talent who is a legit shooter despite being double-teamed and face guarded often. She makes others better and is a crisp passer. She is a skilled, calm, cool and collected kid!","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["270499"],"_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":"Emily's a player who can get to the rim, drives well and can play through contact.
